My main issue is that Camerupt outclasses torkoal and is more common in the same area.70/140/70 looks great on paper, particularly that early in the game, but what is thr pnt of being bulky if your defensive typing sucks and ur movepool consists of body slam and flamethrower. It doesn't even get a reliable status move. Camerupt learns rock slide, STAB EQ and double-edge. You could bump torkoal up to low, but do yourself a favour and grab a numel.
