I know Camerupt sucks in competitive, but for a playthrough is he good? He takes down Steven's Metagross with ease so I don't know...
If you can cover its Water- weakness and play it well, yeah. I would suggest going for it though if you take Treecko and eventually get Sceptile, it can cover its weakness so yeah, I recommend it if you can cover its Water- weakness and deal with its speed.
