Should I teach Fissure to my Nuzlocke Camerupt?

Question

I don't think I should, since it only works if the opponent is higher level, which is very risky to specifically do in a Nuzlocke when I'm this far.

Answer 1

No way. It misses a lot, and you have to be at a higher level. It is way too risky, as you said, as it has a 30 percent accuracy. Also, with Camerupt's only ok defenses, if it misses against something super strong, Camerupt is dead a a doorknob. Even if you are a higher level, there are much more reliable moves to use, like Earthquake, Flamethrower, Rock Slide, and more. Also, Camerupt is way too slow to actually hit Fissure before dying to a strong attack. I hope I've helped!

Okay, I will not use it.

Answer 2

Absolutely not. Why teach it Fissure when you can use Earthquake instead, arguably the best Ground type move in Gen III? Camerupt is slow, and a mere 30% accuracy at best combined with that Speed is going to give you a hard time. Better to use Earthquake, which you can get around the time you get Kyogre. Camerupt actually learns Earthquake at Level 37, meaning Fissure is even more outclassed.

Hope I helped!

Also, my Camerupt already knows it, it learns it super early and by level up.

If you have Earthquake, a Fire move, and a Rock move, you won't be needing Fissure.

I have all three, Earthquake, Rock Slide, and Eruption.

Then you'll be good to go. Best of luck in your Nuzlocke!

Thanks!
