Medicham's damage output is unrivaled thanks to Pure Power in tandem with Life Orb or a Choice Band. Zen Headbutt is a powerful STAB option that hits Poison-types like Qwilfish and Muk, as they can easily take a Close Combat. Psycho Cut is a weaker alternative that avoids contact effects like Poison Point and Rocky Helmet from the likes of Qwilfish and Sandaconda. Trailblaze allows Medicham to pull off sweeps and patch up its offensive shortcoming in its middling Speed. Trick is used with Choice Band to cripple walls such as Drifblim and Tera Fairy users like Chansey and Umbreon. Ice Punch is great neutral coverage for walls like Drifblim and Sandaconda. Tera Fighting gives Choice Band sets a favorable roll to KO Sandaconda after minimal chip or a single layer of Spikes. Tera Steel allows Medicham to defensively check fast revenge killers like Scyther and Zangoose on top of boosting Bullet Punch's damage output. Medicham struggles against bulky Ghost-types like Drifblim and Rotom, which makes Zoroark, Choice Scarf Rotom, and Haunter great offensive partners. Special sweepers like Dudunsparce, Oricorio, and Jolteon appreciate Medicham's ability to break past Chansey, Umbreon, and Vaporeon. Medicham also enjoys pivots like Scyther, Rotom, and Eelektross; it especially likes the latter two, which threaten out Sandaconda, Qwilfish, and Drifblim.

Medicham's damage output is unrivaled thanks to Pure Power in tandem with Life Orb or a Choice Band. for versatility and Choice Band for a more potent presence. Zen Headbutt is a powerful STAB option that hits Poison-types like Qwilfish and Muk that can easily take a Close Combat. Psycho Cut is a weaker alternative that avoids adverse contact effects like Poison Point or Rocky Helmet from the likes of Qwilfish and Sandaconda, respectively. is a stronger STAB move than Psycho Cut, however, it can miss and also makes contact, which punishes Medicham against Rocky Helmet users such as Qwilfish and Sandaconda. rewrote this from just being an explanation of what the moves are to talking about their purpose on Medicham Trailblaze allows Medicham to boost its Speed with no drawbacks to pull off sweeps and patch up its offensive shortcoming in its middling Speed. while Trick is used with Choice Band to cripple walls who rely on their item tbh even with items nothing truly deals with Medicham, so just annoying walls by giving them a Choice Band is more important than taking away whatever item they had before such as Drifblim and Tera Fairy Chansey and Umbreon. Tera Blast is useful coverage against Spiritomb after using Tera Fairy, however, it is useless without Tera. Ice Punch adds is great neutral coverage to break past for walls like Drifblim and Oricorio Sandaconda Ori takes more from Psychic move anyway. Tera Fairy benefits Medicham a lot defensively, allowing it to resist revenge killers like Toxicroak and Honchkrow using Sucker Punch. Tera Fighting allows Medicham to opt out of using Tera Blast while also giving Choice Band sets a favorable roll to KO Sandaconda after minimal chip or a single layer of Spikes. Medicham struggles against bulky Ghost-types like Drifblim and bulky double mentions of 'bulky' Rotom which opens room for make Zoroark, Choice Scarf Rotom, and Haunter great offensive partners. Special sweepers like Dudunsparce, Oricorio, and Jolteon appreciate Medicham's ability to break past Chansey, Umbreon, and Vaporeon. Medicham also enjoys pivots like Scyther, Rotom, and Eelektross, especially the latter two who threaten out Sandaconda, Qwilfish, and Drifblim.

Looks like a lot, I just did some structural changes but the content is really good. please replace mentions of Tera Blast with Bullet Punch and its applications on non-Trailblaze sets, including the option of Tera Steel to boost it further. Rabia and I discussed it some and decided running Fairy Tera Blast for one uncommon Pokemon is really not worth it. If you have any questions or need help with this you can PM me ofc. 1/1 when implemented

Medicham's damage output is unrivaled thanks to Pure Power in tandem with Life Orb or a Choice Band. Zen Headbutt is a powerful STAB option that hits Poison-types like Qwilfish and Muk, (AC) as they that (double "that" was awkward, reworded a bit) can easily take a Close Combat. Psycho Cut is a weaker alternative that avoids adverse contact effects like Poison Point or and Rocky Helmet from the likes of Qwilfish and Sandaconda, respectively. Trailblaze allows Medicham to pull off sweeps and patch up its offensive shortcoming in its middling Speed. Trick is used with Choice Band to cripple walls such as Drifblim and Tera Fairy users like Chansey and Umbreon (I assume you meant these both Tera Fairy to wall Medicham?). Ice Punch is great neutral coverage for walls like Drifblim and Sandaconda. Tera Fighting gives Choice Band sets a favorable roll to KO Sandaconda after minimal chip or a single layer of Spikes. Tera Steel allows Medicham to defensively check fast revenge killers like Scyther and Zangoose on top of boosting Bullet Punch's damage output. Medicham struggles against bulky Ghost-types like Drifblim and Rotom, (AC) which makes Zoroark, Choice Scarf Rotom, and Haunter great offensive partners. Special sweepers like Dudunsparce, Oricorio, and Jolteon appreciate Medicham's ability to break past Chansey, Umbreon, and Vaporeon. Medicham also enjoys pivots like Scyther, Rotom, and Eelektross, (RC); it especially likes the latter two, (AC) who which threaten out Sandaconda, Qwilfish, and Drifblim.
