Rogue Mega Camerupt Strategy and Recommended Level

Mega Camerupt is fought at Level 34, so your team should be around the same level or higher. It tends to use two moves: Earth Power and Headbutt. The first one is a STAB move and should be avoided. Headbutt is less deadly but will still deal a chunk of your Pokemon’s HP if it hits. Its AoE move involves dropping meteors on the battlefield. These meteors can later be detonated by Mega Camerupt. You can either command your Pokemon to destroy them or run away when Mega Camerupt charges them to detonate.
The meteors deal more damage when Mega Camerupt’s HP is at 50% and gain a further boost when it’s close to fainting. Defeating the Rogue Mega Camerupt earns you the Cameruptite.
