Is Pokemon GO Camerupt good in PvP and PvE?

Camerupt alone might be good for Pokemon GO PvP, but by pairing it with the right team, you can create a decent unit. This Pocket Monster is suitable for assuming the role of a Closer in the Great League and Ultra League meta. In fact, it is slightly better in the latter. Camerupt is extremely weak to type attacks of Water, so, reasonably, don’t use it in the Master League.

Pokemon GO Camerupt is an attacker by nature. It also has an impressive Stamina stat of 172. Therefore, when used as a Gym defender, this monster’s best moveset can do a damage output of 242.2 before fainting. This means that it’s quite a decent selection for PvE, but this won’t be enough to defend itself against powerhouses.
