This is a fairly straightforward offensive core, that intends to put a lot of pressure on the opposing team through priority attacks, but also hard-hitting STAB moves. Let's talk about Medicham first. Medicham's insanely high Attack stat means it has the ability to take out every single mon in the team, provided there's no hax / burn / stat decrease. The set is standard - High Jump Kick 2HKO / OHKO's Megagross and Starmie, and OHKOs KyuB and Rotom-Wash. Ice Punch immediately takes out Garchomp. Weavile is there as a late-game cleaner, and should really be spamming Ice Shard, unless it's against Rotom-W and Gyarados, but Medicham can take care of that. Like Medicham, the set is fairly standard, and can really be tweaked to your demand. I went for Low Kick > Pursuit to get Kyurem-B, as Weavile's other moves won't do as much. The flaw with this core (..heh, rhymes..) is that specially defensive Pokemon are a bit of a problem, as well as set-up physically defensive Pokemon (I'm looking at you, Mega Slowbro! :<), so playing around those Pokemon is the best way to go. Like any offensive core, this one hates burns, so a status absorber pairs fantastically with this core! Some threats to this core are Garchomp (if it manages to survive, Stone Edge does a lot to Weavile), Thunder Wave from Rotom-W, Gyarados's Bounce, so you should try to handle these Pokemon or tweak the set to improve Medicham or Weavile's matchup against them.
