To get Camerupt in Pokemon GO, you need to first encounter the creature and then catch it. The database says its catch rate is 20%, so it is worth noting.

Ways to obtain Camerupt:

• Encounter and catch in the wild

Encounter and catch Camerupt in the wild

This Pokemon’s natural habitat in the game is locations with Sunny weather. Therefore, to find Camerupt in Pokemon GO, you have to create these conditions manually or be present in them physically, wherein the latter means you have to play GO in these areas.

One of the ways to locate Sunny weather places in your surroundings would be to use weather forecasting apps. Activating the Lure Module and Incense, on top of this, would be a cherry on top because their effects can increase the spawn rate of wild Pocket Monsters if they come within their effect range. This is how Camerupt is also added to the collection.
