Numel is a Fire and Ground-type Pokemon introduced in Generation 3. Known as the Numb Pokemon, it stores extremely hot magma inside its body and evolves into Camerupt at Level 33.
Competitive Overview
Numel is usually more useful during story playthroughs than in serious competitive formats. Its Fire and Ground typing gives it helpful offensive coverage, but its low Speed, modest bulk and major Water weakness make it difficult to use against stronger opponents.
Numel’s best value comes from early access to Fire and Ground moves, abilities such as Oblivious and Simple, and its ability to evolve into Camerupt at Level 33. Camerupt is normally the stronger long-term option.
