Mine knows:

Solarbeam: High power, high accuracy, charged by Sunny Day, used to deal with Water and Ground types.

Sunny Day: Increases Flamethrower's power, charges up Solarbeam.

Flamethrower: STAB, powered up by Sunny Day, good power, high accuracy, chance to burn.

Earth Power: STAB, good power, high accuracy, chance to lower Sp. Def.

Camerupt (M) @ Life Orb

Trait: Solid Rock

EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

Modest Nature (+SpA, -Atk)

  • Rock Polish
  • Fire Blast
  • Earth Power
  • Hidden Power Grass/Hidden Power Ice

Rock Polish allow Camerupt to outspeed to sweep.
Fire Blast is very good STAB.
Earth Power is also STAB, and compliments Fire Blast nicely.
Hidden Power Grass gives some coverage against Water types, while Hidden Power Ice hits Flying types, mainly.

The only thing I would suggest would be earthquake instead of earth power because it does higher damage. It also depends on whether you trained EVs for attack or special attack.

10 points isn't much difference, keep in mind there are only so many earthquake TMs.
True, but every little bit counts and camerupt learns earthquake naturally so there is no need for a tm
Mine is not very much EV trained in Sp. Attack, not at all with Attack. I mostly did HP and Speed.

Good set, covers most scenarios. Though I think a suicide kill or tank would work better. with his double water weakness, a sunny day set just wouldn't cut it with him.

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Eruption
- Earth Power
- AncientPower

Scarfed Eruption user. Earth power is back up STAB, Ancient power is for that little bit of hope that one day I'll get that all stats raised up boost xD and HP Ice is for coverage. HP grass is also good.
