In a landslide vote, Mint16 wins this week! The corresponding team and description will be added to the Hall of Fame (once I get some sleep) As for this week...
Mega Camerupt is a beast under Trick Room, with powerful STAB attacks that are further boosted by Sheer Force and an extremely low Speed stat that even allows it to underspeed Trick Room's bane, Amoonguss. With that incredibly low Speed stat, Mega Camerupt is near-useless without Trick Room support, and its bulk, while not bad, isn't anything to write home about. Last generation, Mega Camerupt was entirely unable to hit any Water-types, but with the ubiquity of Terrains, Mega Camerupt can viably run Nature Power, which gives it access to Sheer Force-boosted Energy Ball or Thunderbolt with Tapu Bulu or Tapu Koko as a partner, respectively. Other Terrains will also convert Nature Power into a Sheer-Force boosted attack, with Psychic Terrain making it Psychic and Misty Terrain making it Moonblast, but these don't round out its coverage quite as well. Thanks to Tapu Fini losing one of its best move options in Swagger, Mega Camerupt is poised to take advantage of fewer Tapu Finis being around. Let's see what this camel can do!
