Physical Characteristics:

• Numel resembles a small, camel-like creature with a large, hump-like structure on its back.
• It has a yellow body with green patches, a large snout, and stubby legs.
• Its back hump is filled with magma, which it uses to fuel its Fire-type abilities.

• It is typically found in volcanic and arid environments, such as deserts and mountains.
• Numel often travels in groups and relies on its herd for protection and social interaction.
• It is known to be oblivious to its surroundings, often not noticing pain due to its magma-filled hump.

In Battle:

• Numel is a Pokémon that relies on its dual Fire/Ground typing to deal significant damage with moves like Flamethrower and Earth Power.
• It is capable of learning powerful moves such as Lava Plume and Heat Wave, making it a formidable opponent against Steel, Grass, Bug, and Ice-type Pokémon.
• However, it has a notable weakness to Water-type moves and struggles against Water and Ground types due to its typing.
• Its ability, Simple, can be used strategically to amplify stat boosts, making it a unique choice for competitive battles.

Evolution:

• Numel evolves into Camerupt starting at level 33.
• Camerupt is known for its increased power and ability to Mega Evolve using the Cameruptite.

Interesting Facts:

• Numel's body temperature is known to rise when it is angry, causing the magma in its hump to bubble.
• Despite its slow demeanor, Numel can carry heavy loads, making it a valuable pack Pokémon in desert environments.
• Numel's oblivious nature is reflected in its ability, which prevents it from being affected by love-induced infatuation or confusion.
