Pokédex notes
Mega Camerupt is a Mega Fire / Ground form in GO. Mega forms boost same-type allies in raids; lead with Mega when the lobby needs that type.
Where in GO: Mega Raids, Mega Energy, and high-tier events
Invest tip: Farm Mega Energy from Mega Camerupt raids and events. Prefer Mega when the lobby needs Fire boost and you have Incinerate + Overheat. Keep a non-Shadow for Mega — Shadows cannot Mega Evolve.
