It's worth noting that Fake Out + Bullet Punch is hitting ~10% harder than CB Entei, albeit in exchange for 20% of its health. Still impressive though. Imo, HJK is non-negotiable, cuz otherwise you're really wasting Medicham's potential of wall-breaking.
That's true, though every pokemon has its counters and pretty much everything in RU has a common counter. Added esca to team-mates. Idk about galv, though, as galv is a mon that requires a lot of support itself and isn't really great as a back-up sweeper IME.

I think d-punch is still worth a mention, though. It lets medicham stick around for a lot longer and basically makes it more of a dedicated revenge-killer than a wall-breaker.

Edit: SIU's spiritomb looks fine to me. Spiritomb is really useful in general, though I have always prefered black glasses>CB as I really hate locking myself into sucker punch. Running mixed on that set isn't a bad idea either, though, as running shadow ball allows you to follow up with a sucker punch to 2hko OTR cofagrigus. And no Checks and counters list?
