How to counter Camerupt in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

There are many counters to Camerupt due to Water and Ground moves being able to be learned by nearly every Pokémon. Having one of the best Water Type Pokémon in the player's party is the easiest way to counter Camerupt. Gyarados is one of the best options to use against Camerupt due to its Typing.

It has slightly less Defense than Special Defense as well, making Gyarados perfect, given how high its Attack stat is.
