Kicking and Screaming
i hate it when she misses.
Hi everyone! This is one of the most successful teams I've made. It is built around mega Medicham and her obscene power. I built this team off of the sylveon mega Cham core in the good cores thread (thanks Andrew). Sylveon although not a common poke outside of stall is a great pivot and takes on the fast special attackers Cham hates.
I have peaked 19th on the ou ladder with this team during 3bp user era, peaked 6th in the mawile suspect getting reqs and did really well on the aegislash suspect ladder with it and probably could of gotten reqs if I didn't test different (horrible) stall teams out. That being said most of the time the ladder isn't the greatest but w/e. Now let's look at the team

Team at a glance
I started with mega Cham as he is a great wallbreaker.
Sylveon compliments mega Cham taking on special attackers as well as be a great pivot switch and cleric my sweepers if necessary. Hyper voice hits most hyper offensive teams like a truck
I love zapdos he is one of my favourite mons to use in xy as he handles birdspam quite well. As well as bisharp, ferrothorn, scizor and aegi to an extent. He is my defogger as hazard removal helps a ton. He also provides some momentum with voltswitch which is great.
Bisharp was added to pursuit trap aegi. That role was important as aegi is the biggest thorn in mega chams side. Sharp also provides great team utility and a way to get rid of the latis and other psychis that stand in medis way.
The next slot I dedicated to bandnite as he can just clean offensive teams after Cham has had its way. Band espeed has saved me in many situations and outrage just nukes stuff.
Lando was added as a wallbreaker and a rock setter as I was badly in need of one. Lando compliments mega Cham extremely well as they both can hit extremely hard.

- Defog
- Roost
- Volt Switch
- Heat Wave
Zapdos is the second part of my bulky/utility mon core. It is a fairly standard but gives my team a great mega pinsir switch-in as well as a way to handle annoying steel types such as bisharp, ferro, scizor, and mawile to an extent. Defog is also helpful for the rest of my team as dragonite really appreciates it and multiscale can save your butt. The icing on the cake tho is volt switch as the most common switch-ins to zapdos are the latiis which are pursuit trapped by bisharp, tyranitar which Lando and Cham can handle, and chansey which gives me a free switch in for Cham. Volt switch is a huge momentum grab for this team and gives my wallbreakers free switch-ins which is extremely helpful. Although the loss of thunderbolt means I can't ohko pinsir I have enough priority in fake out and espeed to net the kill.
Bisharp (M) @ Black Glasses
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 36 HP / 252 Atk / 220 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Knock Off
- Pursuit
- Iron Head
Bisharp was added as I needed a pursuit trapper. Sharp eliminates all the pokemon that Lando and Cham want gone as well as he brought an amazing amount of utility and power. Bish I often use as sort of utility check and support mon he is super versatile. Bish can pursuit trap threats or wallbreak with knock off and iron head as well as can revenge kill while being able sucker punch. His ability to fill multiple roles and be annoying to defoggers is just too good in my opinion and the support he gives my team helps we out a ton. The EVs and movesets are fairly standard and helps me out a ton. I may adopt a bulkier variant with aegis gone to better trap the latiis and other annoying mons but the speed is going to be missed as knocking off an annoying support mon like bulky Lando-t is something that I can't pass up.

Threats
Mamoswine+ghost type
Thank god this is rare but my main way of dealing with Mamo is medicham hjk which can be annoying if there are any ghost types lying around. I really just have to play smart and eliminate the ghost type.
Gengar
Sub gar can beat bish 1v1 if it carries focus blast sylveon can handle it decently. Sludge wave variants are annoying to face as bish can't eat multiple shadowballs. Lando can check gengar if it's not behind a substitute and psychic it to death. Now that aegi is gone this thing is gonna be so annoying.
Stallbreaker mew if running spdef set can cause issues but heal bell support helps a ton and not playing stupidly
Slowbro can be annoying if he continually scald burns bisharp or is running an assault vest set as Lando can't kill him as easily.
Will put in a full threatlist later if I get around to it.
