R/S Rival had a Camerupt if they didn't have Blazeken.
ORAS Rival has Magcargo.
Did they just want to avoid the possibility of both Maxie and Rival having the same mon? Because Magcargo is pretty fuckin terrible in battle. Not that Camerupt isn't, but it's better than lava slug.
Why nerf the rival with an already shit team?
