>Camerupt is being suspected for a number of reasons, the main reason is for its sheer power that it exudes (having the highest in NU with Sheer Force). This makes Camerupt incredibly difficult to switch into as common checks to Fire Spam are hit hard by Earth Power or crippled by Will-O-Wisp making teambuilder restrictive. On top of this it is one of the few remaining Mega Pokemon in the tier and is being looked at to see if its to much for NU. Camerupt also has good bulk to help mitigate its low speed, allowing it to take multiple hits before being taken down.
>Typhlosion is a suspect due to its incredible wallbreaking ability, outside of a few specific Pokemon, nearly every defensive threat is 2HKOd by the sheer power of Specs Eruption. On top of this, the majority of Typhlosions checks and counters lack recovery, and are very easy to weaken over the course of the match. This requires that teams have multiple answers to Typhlosion, and heavily restricts teambuilding in NU.
