Numel (Japanese: ドンメル, Hepburn: Donmeru) (NUM-mull[1]) is a Fire/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is Carvanha's counterpart.
Biology
Physiology
Numel appears to be a fat yellow camel with a green marking and hole on the top of its hump. Numel also has regular camel ears, brown circles surrounding its perpetually droopy eyes, short legs, and a stout, beige potbelly.
Gender differences
Female Numel have slightly larger humps than the males. This is the same for its evolution Camerupt.
Behavior
Numel are sturdy Pokémon, capable of carrying loads of up to 220 lbs (10 kg) on their backs. However, they are also rather dim-witted, unable to sense pain in most parts of their bodies. Their humps are filled with molten magma reaching temperatures of 2,200 °F (1,100 °C). When it rains, their magma cools and thickens, making them slower and more lethargic.When Numel use Fire-type attacks, their humps shrink; if their backs completely flatten, then they have used up all of their magma and must replenish it (in the wild, they do so by drinking lava flowing out of volcanoes; trained can use magma substitutes for Slugma and Magcargo found in most Poké Marts). In volcanic areas during ancient times, humans often used Numel to carry heavy cargo up mountain trails. Such a trend still carries on in some rural settlements today, where Numel farms rent trained Numel to hiking tourists. Numel absolutely cannot stand being hungry; if they begin to feel famished, they will immediately stop moving and will not start again until they are fed.
Natural abilities
Numel has the abilities Oblivious and Simple along with the hidden ability Own Tempo. Oblivious prevents Numel from being attracted from an opposite gender while Simple doubles stat changes when using a stat changing move. Own Tempo prevents Numel from being confused.
Evolution
Numel evolves into Camerupt at level 33.

Appearances
Anime
Numel first appeared in RS053: Game Winning Assist where many appear and then Team Rocket tries to steal them.
Trivia
- The only Pokémon that shares the same type combination as Numel and Camerupt is Primal Groudon.
- Numel, along with Larvitar, are theonly Pokémon that has all its abilities changed when it evolves.
- In Pokémon Colosseum, Numel's shiny coloration is purple with a dark blue hump instead of yellow with a light blue hump.
- Numel has been stated to both store magma in its hump and its stomach, seemingly contradicting each other. However, there is a possibility that both or neither, seeing as some Pokédex entries say it stores it in its body without specifying where in its body (in the latter case, the contents of Numel's hump and stomach, if not entirely unknown, would presumably be fat and stomach acid respectively).
- Numel shares its name with a Matlab function, which prints the number of elements in an inputted array. Unlike the Pokémon, the Matlab function gets its name from "number of elements."
Origin
Numel is based on a dromedary camel. Its association with lava may be an attempt to avert the "camels store water in their humps" myth prevalent in popular culture, as camels actually store fat in their humps, both fat and lava having more solid consistencies than water and both producing heat. It being unable to bear being hungry may come from the fact that the fat stored in a camel's hump also serves as a backup food source, so camels (and presumably Numel) are only really hungry when the fat in their humps is depleted. Female Numel having bigger humps than male Numel may come from the fact that estrogen (a hormone more common in female animals) typically causes an increase in the amount of fat an animal has.
Etymology
Numel's name appears to be based on the words numb and camel. It may also derive from "hump" and "mellow." Donmeru is likely a portmanteau of "don" (Japanese for "thud") and "camel." It may also derive from "dome," referring to the shape of its body.
