Numel (Japanese: ドンメル Donmel) is a dual-type Fire/Ground Pokémon.

It evolves into Camerupt starting at level 33.

Biology

Physiology

Numel looks like a yellow Dromedary camel with a volcano-like hump on its back, bangs on top of its head, and sleepy eyes. The hump is green at the very top and fades out into yellow with small green spots. The hump also contains magma of almost 2,200°F. Numel has short, stubby legs.

Gender differences

A female Numel has a bigger hump than a male.

Special abilities

Numel is a very strong Pokémon, having served humans for many years with its ability to carry heavy loads. This trait is especially useful because of its numbness to pain, making it efficient as well.

Behavior

Numel is a very simple-minded Pokémon; this explains its two abilities, Oblivious and Simple. It is known not to react to the hardest of hits, but will always react if it is hungry.

Habitat

Diet

In the anime

Numel first appeared in Game Winning Assist!. Ash and his friends found a meadow full of these Numb Pokémon and Team Rocket wanted to steal them.

James from Team Rocket once told of how his grandfather bought him some Numel to keep warm in the winter.
