Mega Medicham is a tremendously strong wallbreaker due to Pure Power, strong STAB moves, and coverage. Fake Out lets Mega Medicham chip down and revenge kill Pokemon like Mega Lopunny, Iron Valiant, and Tapu Koko. It also can let Mega Medicham stall out rain, Toxic, and Terrain on foes, all while putting opponents into range for one of its stronger attacks safely. Ice Punch lets Mega Medicham get rid of Landorus-T and Dragonite, which can enable it to freely use its STAB moves. Bullet Punch can be used to snipe Pokemon like Iron Valiant, Mega Diancie, and Weavile, and it also removes revenge killers like Tapu Koko and Mega Lopunny after chip damage. Thunder Punch can be used to hit Slowbro, and in tandem with Electric Terrain, it can 2HKO Pokemon like Gholdengo and Victini. Alternatively, Thief can be used to immediately damage the aforementioned Pokemon, so it can use its STAB moves more. Due to Mega Medicham’s frailty and mediocre Speed tier, it is easily revenge killed. Defensive partners like Gholdengo, Ting-Lu, and Ferrothorn help check threats like Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Dragapult. Knock Off and Pursuit users like Kingambit and Weavile also support Mega Medicham, as they break through Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokemon Mega Medicham struggle with, such as Slowbro, Victini, Gholdengo and Skeledirge, allowing it to consistently use its STAB attacks. Entry hazard support from Pokemon like Ting-Lu, Garchomp, and Ferrothorn benefit Mega Medicham, as it forces a lot of switches and entry hazards wear down checks quickly. Tapu Koko is a good partner for Mega Medicham, as it handles Pokemon like Tornadus-T and Slowbro reliably and powers up Mega Medicham's Thunder Punch. Tapu Lele can also be a good partner for Mega Medicham, as it powers up Zen Headbutt to insane levels, but blocking Fake Out and Bullet Punch from being used can be problematic. Pokemon like Volcarona and Kartana appreciate Torandus-T, Skeledirge, Clodsire, and Gholdengo being pressured constantly by Mega Medicham, enabling them to wreak havoc once the checks are removed or chipped.

Mega Medicham is a tremendously strong wallbreaker due to its access to Pure Power, strong STAB moves and coverage, and having access to Fake Out, idt mentioning fake out here makes sense to drag home the wallbreaker point making it a substantial powerhouse that is very hard to switch into. Close Combat is a strong Fighting-type STAB move that does a considerable amount of damage to any non-resist, and can even do heavy damage to said resists like Tornadus-T and Volcarona. Zen Headbutt compliments Mega Medicham's Close Combat as it enables it to break through Pokemon like Toxapex and Buzzwole. Don't need to explain STAB moves. Fake Out gives Mega Medicham the opportunity to chip down and revenge kill faster Pokemon like Mega Lopunny, Iron Valiant, and Tapu Koko. mention the chip damage also letting it put things into range of one of its attacks at times, also has a nicher use to stall out weather/poison/terrain so might be worth a mention too. Ice Punch lets Mega Medicham immediately get rid of Landorus-T and Dragonite, which can be more reliable then wearing them down with Zen Headbutt. i think the pt to drive home here is more ice punch can threaten to elim them out of the gate so it can click its stab moves more freely and doesnt have to worry about them pivoting into x ice punch resist. Bullet Punch can be used to snipe Pokemon like Iron Valiant, Mega Diancie, and Weavile, while also removing Pokemon revenge killers like Tapu Koko and Mega Lopunny in tandem with Fake Out after a certain amount of chip damage. Thunder Punch can be used to hit Pokemon like Slowbro, and in tandem with Electric Terrain can 2HKO Pokemon like Gholdengo and Victini. Alternatively, Thief can be used to immediately damage the aforementioned Pokemon, while also doing a considerable amount of damage to them as well. so it can freely click its STAB moves more. Mega Medicham with a Jolly Nature and maximum Speed investment allows it to outspeed Pokemon like Urshifu-R and Tapu Lele, while also speed tying with Mega Charizard Y and Volcarona. Mega Medicham being frail is a detriment to it, so pivots defensive partners like Toxapex, Ting-Lu, and Ferrothorn can support it, as they can give Mega Medicham free entry. Mention what threats they help mmedi cover. Knock Off and Pursuit support from Pokemon like Kingambit and Weavile also supports Mega Medicham as they break through Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokemon Mega Medicham would struggle with, such as Slowbro, Mega Latias, Victini, Gholdengo and Skeledirge. Entry hazard support from Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Clodsire can benefit Mega Medicham as it already forces a lot of switches, and can let it accumulate a great amount of residual chip on its checks. Tapu Koko is a good partner for Mega Medicham as it handles Pokemon like Tornadus-T and Slowbro reliably while powering up Mega Medicham's Thunder Punch, which lets it dish out substantial damage to checks like Gholdengo. Tapu Lele can also be a good partner for Mega Medicham as it powers up Mega Medicham's Zen Headbutt to insane levels, but blocking Fake Out and Bullet Punch from being used can be unreliable.

Mega Medicham being frail is a detriment to it, so defensive partners like Toxapex, Ting-Lu, and Ferrothorn can support it, as they can deal with Pokemon threats like Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Dragapult, while giving Mega Medicham free entry. none of them can pivot out safely into mmedi so not sure how its free entry for mmedi. Knock Off and Pursuit support from Pokemon like Kingambit and Weavile also supports Mega Medicham as they break through Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokemon Mega Medicham would struggle with, such as Slowbro, Victini, Gholdengo and Skeledirge.

Tapu Lele can also be a good partner for Mega Medicham as it powers up Zen Headbutt to insane levels, but blocking Fake Out and Bullet Punch from being used can be unreliable. Mention abusers that benefit from the checks mmedi demolishes. ie what teammates can benefit from gholdengo/skele/slowbro/torn being pressured constantly.
