CBB (Medicham) @ Medichamite
Ability: Pure Power
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Acupressure
- Substitute
- Drain Punch
- Zen Headbutt
Alright so this set here is absolutely fucking borked if you can get lucky enough with Acupressure. The idea is to sub up on something weak and then proceed to Acupressure up and eventually get enough boosts to sweep. Drain is to gain back health from sub or damage that i may have taken and Zen is STAB and so i dont get walled by ghost types (fuck mega sableye). Max HP and speed allow me to be as bulky as possible while still maintaining maximum speed. Also something to note is that the BP clause does not affect AcuPass so BP is an option as well i guess.
Big s/o to CBB, thanks for giving me the spread and providing this sweet replay, cheers broksi :]

Reversal Medicham
Medicham @ Salac Berry
Ability: Pure Power
EVs: 252Atk / 4 SpD / 252Spe
Jolly Nature
- Substitute / Endure
- Reversal
- High Jump Kick / Protect
- Zen Headbutt / Protect
The idea of this set is to get ur salac and start killing stuff with reversals :). sub is preferred over endure as u get a sub if ur slower than the mon ur setting up on. however endure is a lot easier to set up cos u cant get ohkoed by faster threats. also full powered reversal is more powerful than megacham hjk with no mega slot. the only problems with this are a: priority as it can get rkd easily, b: setting up against fast threats. sub makes it easier vs prio but endure allow us to not have to force a switch. also weather decimates medicham :(. hjk is to hit mons b4 setup for a bit of dmg and zhb is for coverage (gengar, croak etc) protect can also be used to dodge fake outs. jolly is used as it outspeeds a bunch of mons

Medicham-Mega @ Medichamite
Ability: Pure Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Bulk Up
- Baton Pass
- Zen Headbutt
- High Jump Kick
This is my first time posting here, so I hope I haven't made a mistake or anything! Anyway, the aim of this set is to get Medicham to set up with Bulk Up once or twice, and then Baton Pass it to another user of the team that may benefit from it (eg. Azumarill or Bisharp). At the least, Medicham should be able to use Bulk Up once, due to its low HP and defenses.
If the opponent is going to use a super-effective move against Medicham, it can use Baton Pass with or without the stat boosts to safely switch into a Pokemon that resists that attack. Zen Headbutt and High Jump Kick aren't the stars of this set, but, instead, are both for coverage.
This set works best against teams with slightly less offensive presence, such as stall, just so long as Mega Sableye is dealt with. Medicham still has the potential to dent bulkier Pokemon with its last two moveslots, so don't think that it's passive with this set!

Priority MMedicham
Medicham @ Medichamite
Ability: Pure Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- High Jump Kick
- Zen Headbutt
- Fake Out
- Bullet Punch
This particular Medicham uses two priority moves in the form of Fake Out (particularly useful when paired with Poison or Burn to stack more damage and preventing the opponent from attacking) and Bullet Punch (very useful towards many Fairies running around).
This allows Medicham to use an Adamant nature instead of Jolly to revenge kill better than before in a HO meta.
Some calcs:
This list of calcs shows us the nice power behind an Adamant non-STABbed priority move (sometimes coupled with Fake Out) in order to show the utility it may have alongside a layer of hazards in order to ensure 2HKOs and, sometimes, even OHKOs. Take also in account the recoil from Life Orb and how well Fake Out is with Toxic Spikes or status move and you'll notice that the OHKO is not that far.
I don't know why this set is not listed, but is quite good at revenge killing.

Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Magic Coat
- Zen Headbutt
- High Jump Kick
This Pokemon doesn't have much options, its coverage options are well known, you can also run like ThunderPunch for Slowbro, but this is also a pretty well known lure. Its status moves are also terrible. Magic Coat allows you to reflect burns from Mega Sableye who expect you to switch out, since you can't touch it with anything.
