Torkoal or Camerupt in Emerald?

I was in the chat room asking if torkoal is good. Someone said that Camerupt is better. Is this true, or should I keep torkoal?

Camerupt’s stats:

Torkoal’s stats:

HP: 70Attack: 85Defense: 140Sp. Atk: 85Sp. Def: 70Speed: 20

In-game, offense matters more then defense, so Camerupt is better.

Movesets:

if you need a offensive Pokemon, use Camerupt, but if you need a defensive Pokemon, choose Torkoal. Personally I prefer Camerupt, because it’s dual type and because of its Erruption.

Torcoal is is great tank. Camrupt is a better attacker. If this is ingame and not competive I would chose Camrupt. If this for a competive fight go with Torcoal.

So it just depends what you need, and what you’re using it for.
