Gyarados is a safer pick since it resists Fire and Ground moves while taking neutral damage from Solar Beam. Can you solo defeat Camerupt?

While Camerupt isn't currently meta-relevant, it has a Mega Evolution that may be introduced in Pokémon GO later. Holding onto one with good IVs could be worthwhile for future updates. Final tips for battling Camerupt in Pokemon GO - Prioritize Water-type attackers for maximum damage. - Avoid using Grass or Fire types—they'll deal minimal damage. - Mega Evolve a Water-type Pokémon (like Mega Swampert or Mega Gyarados) for extra power. - Watch out for Solar Beam—switch to bulkier Water-types if needed.
