1v1 Mega Medicham [QC: 3/3] [GP: 2/2]

#banthisfromorasmonotypeplz #notbrokein1v1lmao

[OVERVIEW]

Mega Medicham's great Attack stat along with its ability, Pure Power, allows it to break Pokemon like Ferrothorn, non-Choice Scarf Landorus-T, Genesect, and non-Choice Scarf Dragonite, and the combination of Fake Out and reliable coverage moves enables it to break Sturdy and Multiscale from Pokemon like Magnezone and Dragonite along with taking out Pokemon like Genesect, Mega Venusaur, and non-Choice Scarf Landorus-T. However, Mega Medicham has trouble with faster Pokemon and common Choice Scarf users such as Mega Blaziken, Greninja, Porygon-Z, and Jirachi because its bulk makes it unable to take a hit from these Pokemon. It struggles with bulky Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokemon such as Tapu Lele, Mew, Mega Slowbro, Aegislash, and Mega Gengar, as it either fails to do damage to them or gets outstalled. Mega Medicham cannot get past walls like Mega Sableye and Clefable because they can take its attacks and slowly wear down its health. Mega Medicham also struggles to settle on one nature to use, as it needs an Adamant nature to consistently beat bulkier Pokemon like Zygarde-C and Zapdos but will no longer be able to outpace Tapu Lele and Normalium Z Porygon-Z without a Jolly nature.

Moves
========

Fake Out is important to break Sturdy and Multiscale from Pokemon like Magnezone and non-Choice Scarf or Protect Dragonite. High Jump Kick takes care of Steel- and Normal-type Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Genesect, Porygon2, non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z, Meloetta, Donphan, Kommo-o, and Seperior. Zen Headbutt allows Mega Medicham to take on Mega Venusaur, Volcarona, and bulky Mega Charizard Y. Ice Punch takes care of most Flying- and Dragon-types like Landorus-T and Zygarde. Poison Jab can be used over Ice Punch for Fairy-types like Tapu Bulu, bulky Tapu Fini, Primarina, and Whimsicott and to turn the matchup against Mega Gardevoir into a coinflip with a Speed tie. Thunder Punch with an Adamant nature enables Mega Medicham to force mind games against Mega Gyarados or beat Flyinium Z variants.

Set Details
========

Having 252 Attack EVs and Pure Power turn Mega Medicham into a powerful attacker, as it can take care of walls like Porygon2 and Pokemon like non-Choice Scarf Landorus-T and non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z. Having 252 Speed EVs along with a Jolly nature makes Mega Medicham able to outpace Pokemon like Vivillon, Landorus-T, Kommo-o, and non-Choice Scarf Genesect. An Adamant nature can be used to be able to take care of Zapdos, offensive Mega Metagross, and Zygarde. Mega Medicham can also almost always KO Primarina with Fake Out followed by Poison Jab. However, Mega Medicham will fail to outspeed faster Pokemon like Vivillon and Genesect.

Usage Tips
========

Mega Medicham should almost always use Fake Out turn one for chip damage unless the Pokemon is a Ghost-type or Tapu Lele. This is especially useful against Magnezone, Mega Aggron, Golem, and Dragonite to get rid of Sturdy and Multiscale; then, follow up with High Jump Kick or Ice Punch to take care of them. If Mega Medicham is not running Ice Punch, it cannot beat Landorus-T, so you should be careful about sending it out if a teammate does not pressure it. Only send Mega Medicham in on Pokemon like Primarina, Zapdos, and Zygarde-C if you are running an Adamant nature, as Mega Medicham only can beat them with Adamant. If Mega Medicham does not have a Jolly nature, be careful around Normalium Z Porygon-Z and Vivillon, as these all outpace and OHKO it. When facing Serperior, be sure to Fake Out turn one to scout for Protect. If Serperior does not use Protect turn one, then use Ice Punch, as the chip damage from Fake Out will be enough to knock Serperior out. If Serperior does use Protect turn one, use High Jump Kick to avoid losing half of Mega Medicham's health to crash damage and have it taken care of by Leaf Storm. Be careful around walls like Mega Sableye, Deoxys-S, and Clefable because all of them can slowly wear Mega Medicham down and take care of it. If the opponent has a fast Pokemon like Greninja or a common Choice Scarf user like Porygon-Z, Genesect, or Jirachi, be careful about picking Mega Medicham, as it will be unable to take care of these Pokemon.

Team Options
========

Pokemon like Porygon-Z and Meloetta can take care of offensive Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y for Mega Medicham. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Steel-types like Heatran, Genesect, and Ferrothorn for them. Stallbreakers like Tapu Fini, Primarina, and Zapdos are needed to help with Clefable and non-Metal Burst Mega Sableye. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Mega Venusaur and Tapu Lele. Groundium Z Garchomp and Landorus-T help with troubling Pokemon like non-Ice Punch bulky Mega Metagross, Mega Pinsir, and Mega Blaziken. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Genesect and Kommo-o for them. Fire-type Pokemon like Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y and Incineroar are good to pair with Mega Medicham because they can care of Steel-types that can deal with High Jump Kick like Choice Scarf Jirachi, Magearna, Aegislash, and bulky Mega Metagross that Mega Medicham struggles with. In return, Mega Medicham can take care of troubling Pokemon like Tapu Fini, Primarina, Landorus-T, and Zygarde-C for them.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Rock Tomb can be used over Zen Headbutt for hitting bulky Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, and Volcarona; however, Mega Medicham would lose against Mega Venusaur and Fighting-types like Sawk. Bullet Punch can be used to help take care of frail Pokemon like Pheromosa as well as Mega Gardevoir and Mega Diancie; however, this means forgoing a coverage option like Ice Punch or Zen Headbutt that Mega Medicham needs.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Protect**: The rare Protect on Sturdy Pokemon like Magnezone causes Fake Out to fail and therefore makes Mega Medicham lose the matchup. It also causes mind games with using High Jump Kick on Steel-types like Celesteela, as the crash damage makes Mega Medicham lose half of its health.

**Faster Pokemon**: Faster Pokemon like Choice Scarf Porygon-Z, Choice Scarf Haxorus , Greninja, Mega Lopunny, Zeraora, and Garchomp can take care of Mega Medicham with their STAB attacks due to Mega Medicham's low bulk.

**Super Effective Damage**: Ghost- and Flying-type attacks from the likes of Aegislash and Togekiss can take care of Mega Medicham with their STAB attacks due to its mediocre bulk. Fairy-types like Magearna and Mega Mawile can all OHKO Mega Medicham with their Fairy-type STAB attacks and have the bulk to tank most of Mega Medicham's attacks.

**Walls**: Walls such as Mega Sableye and Clefable can tank any of Mega Medicham's attacks and slowly wear it down.

[OVERVIEW]

* Mega Medicham has a great Attack stat that goes great with its ability Pure Power which allows it to break Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Landorus-T non-Choice Scarf Genesect, and Dragonite.
* Thanks to Mega Medicham's great movepool, it can use Fake Out to break Sturdy and Multiscale from Pokemon like Magnezone and Dragonite. Mega Medicham also has access to elemental punches to break down Pokemon like non-Choice Scarf Garchomp Landorus-T (you underspeed and lose to Garchomp regardless) and Mega Blastoise Gyarados (High Jump Kick does more to Mega Blastoise than Thunder Punch) with Ice Punch and Thunder Punch .
* Thanks to Mega Medicham's STAB attacks, it can get past Steel-types like Choice Specs Genesect and Mega Venusaur with High Jump Kick and Zen Headbutt.
* However, Mega Medicham has trouble with faster Pokemon and common choice scarf users such as Mega Blaziken, Greninja, Porygon-Z and Jirachi because of Mega Medicham's bulk makes it unable to take a hit from these.
It struggles with bulky Psychic-type Pokemon such as Tapu Lele, Mew, and Mega Slowbro, as Mega Medicham cannot
* It also struggles with Z-moves from Pokemon like Tapu Lele and Tapu Bulu because of their bulk allows them to live an attack from Mega Medicham and OHKO it with their Z-move.
* It further suffers against Pokemon like Aegislash and Mega Gengar because their STAB attacks OHKOs Mega Medicham.
* Mega Medicham cannot get past walls like mega Sableye or Clefable because of them living Mega Medicham's attacks and slowly wear down its health to win.

Moves
========

* Fake Out is important to break Sturdy and Multiscale Pokemon like Magnezone and Dragonite.
* High Jump Kick takes care of Steel- and Normal-type Pokemon like Ferrothorn, offesive Megagross, Genesect, Porygon2 and non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z. However, versus Ferrothorn, make sure to Ice Punch in case they during the Protect turn turn 1 and then High Jump Kick.
* Zen Headbutt allows Mega Medicham to take on Mega Venusaur, Kommo-o, and Sawk.
* Bullet Punch can be used to help take care of frail Pokemon like Pheromosa as well as Mega Gardevoir. (I can't see this being useful outside of Mega Gardevoir and Diancie... is there anything else? If not, move to OO)
* Ice Punch takes care of most flying- and Dragon-types like Zapdos, Landorus-T, non-Choice Scarf Haxorus and Zygarde.
Poison Jab gives Mega Medicham a fighting chance against Fairy-type Pokemon, such as all the Tapus, and Primarina.
* Thunder Punch can be used to take care of Water-types like Mega Slowbro, Mega Blastoise and Araquanid. (252 Atk Pure Power Medicham-Mega Thunder Punch vs. 252 HP / 76 Def Slowbro-Mega: 156-184 (39.5 - 46.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO) try to find a better reason to run Thunder Punch or move it to OO)


Set Details
========

* Having 252 Attack EVs and Pure Power turns Mega Medicham into a powerful attacker, as it can take care of walls like Mega Slowbro (It doesn't have much of a chance vs Mega Slowbro) and Pokemon like Landorus-T and non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z.
* Having 252 Speed EVs along with a Jolly nature makes Mega Medicham able to outpace Pokemon like Vivillon, Adamant Terrakion Landorus-Therian, Kommo-o, non-Choice Scarf Genesect.
* An Adamant nature can be used over a Jolly nature for to be able to 2HKO Tapu Fini, Mega gardevoir if not running Bullet Punch after a Fake Out into a Thunder Punch that it cannot net safely with a Jolly nature. however, now Mega Medicham fails to beat faster outspeed Pokemon like Vivillon, adamant Terrakion Meloetta and non-Choice Scarf Genesect.

Usage Tips
========

* Mega Medicham should Fake Out against Magnezone, Mega Aggron, Golem, or Dragonite turn 1 to get rid of Sturdy and Multiscale then use High Jump Kick or Ice Punch to take care of them.
* Send Mega Medicham out against Dragon- and Flying-types like non-Choice Scarf Haxorus, Togekiss, Zapdos and Landorus-T as Fake Out into Ice Punch allows Mega Medicham to take care of these. (Dragon types in general are not weak to Mega Medicham, and neither are Flying-types, which you list as a counter in C&C. Even with Ice Punch or Thunder Punch, Medicham isn't doing enough to Zapdos and it gets outsped by Scarf Togekiss)
* Do send Mega Medicham out against walls Pokemon it can hit for super effective damage like Ferrothorn, Mega Venusaur and Slowbro as it is able to take care of these with High Jump Kick, Zen Headbutt and Thunder Punch.
* Send it out against slower Pokemon or frail Pokemon like Vivillon, non-Choice Scarf Genesect, (it doesn't matter if its scarfed, medi should win) Mega Gardevoir(unreliable due to speed tie) Incineroar and Primarina as Mega Medicham can take care of these.
* If Mega Medicham is not running Ice Punch, it cannot beat Zygarde-C or Landorus-T, so therefore should be careful about sending it out if a teammate does not pressure it.
* If not running Adamant Thunder Punch Mega Medicham, do not send it out if it is obvousl that the oppeoent is picking Tapu Fini as it will fail to beat it.
* If Mega Medicham does not have a Jolly nature, be careful around non-Choice Scarf Genesect, Adamant Terrakion (ok i've seen this one too many times. 1: why is adamant terrak a thing. 2: why is it relevant. 3: how is terrakion doing anything to medicham. it literally resists both of its STABs) and Villion as these all outpace and OHKO it.
* Be careful around walls like Mega Sableye, Deoxys-S and Clefable because both of these can slowly wear Mega Medicham down and take care of it.
* If the oppent has a fast Pokemon like Greninja or a common Choice Scarfer user like Porygon-Z, Genesect and Jirachi, then be careful about picking Mega Medicham as it will be unable to take care of these.

Team Options
========

* Pokemon like Aegislash, Pz and Meloetta take care of Tapu Fini, Tapu Lele and Mega Charizard X and Y for Mega Medicham. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Steel-types like Heatran, non-Choice Scarf Genesect and Ferrothorn for them.
* Stallbreakers like Tapu Fini, Primarina, Zapdos are needed to help with Clefable and non-Metal Burst Mega Sableye. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Mega Venusaur and Golem for these. (Good! most of these are relevant and helpful towards one another)
* Garchomp and Landorus-T help with troubling Pokemon like non-Ice Punch Mega Metagross, Mega Pinsir and Mega Blaziken. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Mega Slowbro, Ferrothorn, non-Choice Scarf Genesect and Kommo-o for these.
* Pokemon like Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y and Incineroar are good to pair with Mega Medicham because they can care of Steel-types like Choice Scarf Genesect, Choice Scarf Jirachi, Magearna, Aegislash and Mega Metagross which Mega Medicham struggles with. In return, Mega Medicham can take care of Water-types like Mega Slowbro, Tapu Fini and Primarina for them. <- this is not a great paragraph. the first part is ok, but medi does not reliably deal with these water types.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

* Rock Tomb can be used over Zen Headbutt for Mega Charizard X/Y, Zapdos and Volcarona; however, now Mega Medicham loses against Mega Venusaur and Fighting-types like Sawk.
* Poison Jab can be used over Ice Punch for Fairy-types like Tapu Bulu or Whimsicott; however, this means Mega Medicham can no longer take on Dragon- or Flying-types like non-Choice Scarf Haxorus or Zapdos. (moved this up as a slash instead of OO.)
Add thunder punch and bullet punch.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Protect**: The rare Protect on Sturdy and Multiscale Pokemon like Magazone and Dragonite causes Fake Out to fail and therefore make Mega Medicham lose the matchup. It also causes 50/50s with using High Jump Kick on Steel-types like Celesteela and Ferrothorn as the crash damage makes Mega Medicham lose half of its health.

**Faster Pokemon**: Faster Pokemon like Greninja, Mega Lopunny, Zeraora, Jolly Garchomp and Choice Scarf users such as Victini, Porygon-Z, and Haxorus can take care of Mega Medicham with their STAB attacks due to Mega Medicham's low bulk.

**Fairy-types**: Fairy-types like Tapu Fini, Mega Mawile and Tapu Lele all OHKO Mega Medicham with their Fairy STAB attacks, and have the bulk to tank most of Mega Medicham's attacks.
(merge this section with the last section, as fairy types are also super effective against mega medicham.)

**Walls**: Walls such as Mega Sableye and Clefable can tank any of Mega Medicham's attack and slowly wear Mega Medicham down to take care of it.

**Super-effective damage**: Ghost- and Flying-type attacks from the likes of Aegislash, Mega Gengar Mega Charizard Y, and Togekiss can take care of Mega Medicham due to its mediocre bulk with their STAB type attacks.

mostly good, just a couple of iffy matchups:
- mega medi does not beat mega slowbro
- it does not get beaten by adamant terrakion....
- gene loses to medi regardless if scarf or not because it doesnt get a download boost

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

* Rock Tomb can be used over Zen Headbutt for Mega Charizard X/Y, Zapdos and Volcarona; however, now Mega Medicham loses against Mega Venusaur and Fighting-types like Sawk.
* Thunder Punch with an Adamant nature enables Mega Medicham to take on Water-types like Tapu Fini and Primarina. (this doesn't really make sense, because Poison Jab does more damage than Thunder Punch. As I mentioned previously, Thunder Punch pretty much only helps with Gyarados which is very important!.) However, Thunder Punch is useless outside of these two Pokemon.
* Bullet Punch can be used to help take care of frail Pokemon like Pheromosa as well as Mega Gardevoir and Mega Diancie; however Bullet Punch does not do anything outside these few matchups.

[OVERVIEW]

* Mega Medicham has a great Attack stat that goes great with its ability Pure Power which allows it to break Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Landorus-T, Genesect, and Dragonite. maybe use a word other than "great" somewhere here idk
* Thanks to Mega Medicham's great movepool, it can use Fake Out to break Sturdy and Multiscale from Pokemon like Magnezone and Dragonite. Mega Medicham also has access to elemental punches well yes it has access but you don't mention fire punch or thunder punch in the main set so maybe re-word this(?) to break down Pokemon like Landorus-T and Gyarados with Ice Punch and Thunder Punch.
* Thanks to Mega Medicham's STAB attacks, it can get past Steel-types like Choice Specs Genesect and Mega Venusaur with High Jump Kick and Zen Headbutt.
* However, Mega Medicham has trouble with faster Pokemon and common choice scarf Choice Scarf users such as Mega Blaziken, Greninja, Porygon-Z and Jirachi because of Mega Medicham's bulk makes it unable to take a hit from these. in jirachi's case it can take a hit from it so u could either remove it from the list or make an exception for it ig
* It struggles with bulky Psychic-type Pokemon such as Tapu Lele, Mew, and Mega Slowbro, as Mega Medicham either fails to do damage to them, or gets outstalled.
* It further suffers against Pokemon like Aegislash and Mega Gengar because their STAB attacks OHKOs Mega Medicham.
* Mega Medicham cannot get past walls like mega Mega Sableye or Clefable because of them living Mega Medicham's attacks and slowly wearing down its Mega Medicham's health to win.

========

* Fake Out is important to break Sturdy and Multiscale Pokemon like Magnezone and Dragonite.
* High Jump Kick takes care of Steel- and Normal-type Pokemon like Ferrothorn, offesive Mega (space) Metagross, Genesect, Porygon2 and non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z.
* Zen Headbutt allows Mega Medicham to take on Mega Venusaur, Kommo-o, and Mega Charizard Y.
* Ice Punch takes care of most flying- Flying- and Dragon-types like Zapdos, Landorus-T, and Zygarde.
* Poison Jab can be used over Ice Punch for Fairy-types like Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini, - maybe specify that tapunium variants lose because some z sets win Mega Gardevoir, Primarina defensive prima rolls, even with adamant, just take this into consideration for the rest of the times you mention primarina and Whimsicott.

Set Details
========

* Having 252 Attack EVs and Pure Power turns Mega Medicham into a powerful attacker, as it can take care of walls like Porygon2 and Pokemon like Landorus-T and non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z. you're specifying porygon2's role in the metagame, so why not specify landorus-t and porygon-z's role as "set-up" or something of the sort?
* Having 252 Speed EVs along with a Jolly nature makes Mega Medicham able to outpace Pokemon like Vivillon, Landorus-T, Kommo-o and non-Choice Scarf Genesect.
* An Adamant nature can be used over a Jolly nature for to be able to 2HKO Tapu Fini, and OHKO Primarina with Fake Out into Poison Jab. However, Mega Medicham fails to outspeed faster Pokemon like Vivillon, Meloetta, and Genesect.

Usage Tips
========

* Mega Medicham should Fake Out against Magnezone, Mega Aggron, Golem or Dragonite turn 1 to get rid of Sturdy and Multiscale then use High Jump Kick or Ice Punch to take care of them.
* Do send Mega Medicham out against Pokemon it can hit for super effective damage like Ferrothorn and Mega Venusaur as it is able to take care of these with High Jump Kick and Zen Headbutt.
* Send it out against slower Pokemon or frail Pokemon like Vivillon, Genesect, Incineroar and Primarina as Mega Medicham can take care of these. you didn't give any examples of frail pokemon that weren't already slower
* If Mega Medicham is not running Ice Punch, it cannot beat Zygarde-C or Landorus-T, so therefore should be careful about sending it out if a teammate does not pressure it.
* Only send Mega Medicham in on Pokemon like Tapu Fini and Primarina if you are running Adamant Poison Jab.
* If Mega Medicham does not have a Jolly nature, be careful around non-Choice Scarf Genesect, and Vivllion as these all outpace and OHKO it.
* Be careful around walls like Mega Sableye, Deoxys-S and Clefable because both of these can slowly wear Mega Medicham down and take care of it.
* If the opponent has a fast Pokemon like Greninja or a common Choice Scarfer user like such as Porygon-Z, Genesect and Jirachi, then be careful about picking Mega Medicham as it will be unable to take care of these. "unable" is a bad word when referring to jirachi because it's just a roll between flinching/not.

Team Options
========

* Pokemon like Porygon-Z and Meloetta can take care of Tapu Fini, Tapu Lele and Mega Charizard X and Y for Mega Medicham. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Steel-types like Heatran, non-Choice Scarf Genesect and Ferrothorn for them. choice scarf porygon-z doesn't always beat fini while normalium porygon-z doesn't always beat zard y. maybe specify the sets used to beat these pokemon.
* Stallbreakers like Tapu Fini, Primarina, Zapdos are needed to help with Clefable and non-Metal Burst Mega Sableye. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Mega Venusaur and Golem for these.

=============

* Rock Tomb can be used over Zen Headbutt for Mega Charizard X/Y, Zapdos and Volcarona; however However, now Mega Medicham loses against Mega Venusaur and Fighting-types like Sawk. iirc this depends on british english or american english, idk what analysises use but the capitalization change is up to you
* Thunder Punch with an Adamant nature enables Mega Medicham to take on Gyarados. However, Thunder Punch is useless outside of this.
* Bullet Punch can be used to help take care of frail Pokemon like Pheromosa as well as Mega Gardevoir and Mega Diancie; however Bullet Punch does not do anything outside these few matchups.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Protect**: The rare Protect on Sturdy and Multiscale Pokemon like Magazone Magnezone and Dragonite causes Fake Out to fail and therefore make Mega Medicham lose the matchup. It also causes 50/50s with using High Jump Kick on Steel-types like Celesteela and Ferrothorn as the crash damage makes Mega Medicham lose half of its health. for ferrothorn, just click high jump kick twice and win
252 Atk Pure Power Medicham-Mega High Jump Kick vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Ferrothorn: 422-498 (120.2 - 141.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO


**Faster Pokemon**: Faster Pokemon like Greninja, Mega Lopunny, Zeraora, Jolly Garchomp and Choice Scarf users such as Victini, Porygon-Z, and Haxorus can take care of Mega Medicham with their STAB attacks due to Mega Medicham's low bulk.

**Super-effective damage**: Ghost- and Flying-type attacks from the likes of Aegislash and Togekiss can take care of Mega Medicham due to its mediocre bulk with their STAB type attacks. Fairy-types like Tapu Fini, Mega Mawile and Tapu Lele all OHKO Mega Medicham with their Fairy STAB attacks, and have the bulk to tank most of Mega Medicham's attacks.

**Walls**: Walls such as Mega Sableye and Clefable can tank any of Mega Medicham's attack and slowly wear Mega Medicham down to take care of it.

#banthisfromorasmonotypeplz #notbrokein1v1lmao

[OVERVIEW]

* Mega Medicham has a great Attack stat that goes great with its ability Pure Power which allows it to break Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Landorus-T, Genesect, and Dragonite. maybe use a word other than "great" somewhere here idk We don't rlly deal with wording unless it obstructs the meaning of whats actually being said. That's GP's job
* Thanks to Mega Medicham's great movepool, it can use Fake Out to break Sturdy and Multiscale from Pokemon like Magnezone and Dragonite. Mega Medicham also has access to elemental punches well yes it has access but you don't mention fire punch or thunder punch in the main set so maybe re-word this(?) to break down Pokemon like Landorus-T and Gyarados with Ice Punch and Thunder Punch.
* Thanks to Mega Medicham's STAB attacks, it can get past Steel-types like Choice Specs Genesect and Mega Venusaur with High Jump Kick and Zen Headbutt.
* However, Mega Medicham has trouble with faster Pokemon and common choice scarf Choice Scarf users such as Mega Blaziken, Greninja, Porygon-Z and Jirachi because of Mega Medicham's bulk makes it unable to take a hit from these. in jirachi's case it can take a hit from it so u could either remove it from the list or make an exception for it ig
* It struggles with bulky Psychic-type Pokemon such as Tapu Lele, Mew, and Mega Slowbro, as Mega Medicham either fails to do damage to them, or gets outstalled.
* It further suffers against Pokemon like Aegislash and Mega Gengar because their STAB attacks OHKOs Mega Medicham.
* Mega Medicham cannot get past walls like mega Mega Sableye or Clefable because of them living Mega Medicham's attacks and slowly wearing down its Mega Medicham's health to win.

Yeah don't bother with the grammar work, for QC its the meaning/information that matters the most

Moves
========

* Fake Out is important to break Sturdy and Multiscale Pokemon like Magnezone and Dragonite.
* High Jump Kick takes care of Steel- and Normal-type Pokemon like Ferrothorn, offesive Mega (space) Metagross, Genesect, Porygon2 and non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z.
* Zen Headbutt allows Mega Medicham to take on Mega Venusaur, Kommo-o, and Mega Charizard Y.
* Ice Punch takes care of most flying- Flying- and Dragon-types like Zapdos, Landorus-T, and Zygarde.
* Poison Jab can be used over Ice Punch for Fairy-types like Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini, - maybe specify that tapunium variants lose because some z sets win Mega Gardevoir, Primarina defensive prima rolls, even with adamant, just take this into consideration for the rest of the times you mention primarina and Whimsicott.

Set Details
========

* Having 252 Attack EVs and Pure Power turns Mega Medicham into a powerful attacker, as it can take care of walls like Porygon2 and Pokemon like Landorus-T and non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z. you're specifying porygon2's role in the metagame, so why not specify landorus-t and porygon-z's role as "set-up" or something of the sort?
* Having 252 Speed EVs along with a Jolly nature makes Mega Medicham able to outpace Pokemon like Vivillon, Landorus-T, Kommo-o and non-Choice Scarf Genesect.
* An Adamant nature can be used over a Jolly nature for to be able to 2HKO Tapu Fini, and OHKO Primarina with Fake Out into Poison Jab. However, Mega Medicham fails to outspeed faster Pokemon like Vivillon, Meloetta, and Genesect.

Usage Tips
========

* Mega Medicham should Fake Out against Magnezone, Mega Aggron, Golem or Dragonite turn 1 to get rid of Sturdy and Multiscale then use High Jump Kick or Ice Punch to take care of them.
* Do send Mega Medicham out against Pokemon it can hit for super effective damage like Ferrothorn and Mega Venusaur as it is able to take care of these with High Jump Kick and Zen Headbutt.
* Send it out against slower Pokemon or frail Pokemon like Vivillon, Genesect, Incineroar and Primarina as Mega Medicham can take care of these. you didn't give any examples of frail pokemon that weren't already slower
* If Mega Medicham is not running Ice Punch, it cannot beat Zygarde-C or Landorus-T, so therefore should be careful about sending it out if a teammate does not pressure it.
* Only send Mega Medicham in on Pokemon like Tapu Fini and Primarina if you are running Adamant Poison Jab.
* If Mega Medicham does not have a Jolly nature, be careful around non-Choice Scarf Genesect, and Vivllion as these all outpace and OHKO it.
* Be careful around walls like Mega Sableye, Deoxys-S and Clefable because both of these can slowly wear Mega Medicham down and take care of it.
* If the opponent has a fast Pokemon like Greninja or a common Choice Scarfer user like such as Porygon-Z, Genesect and Jirachi, then be careful about picking Mega Medicham as it will be unable to take care of these. "unable" is a bad word when referring to jirachi because it's just a roll between flinching/not.

Team Options
========

* Pokemon like Porygon-Z and Meloetta can take care of Tapu Fini, Tapu Lele and Mega Charizard X and Y for Mega Medicham. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Steel-types like Heatran, non-Choice Scarf Genesect and Ferrothorn for them. choice scarf porygon-z doesn't always beat fini while normalium porygon-z doesn't always beat zard y. maybe specify the sets used to beat these pokemon.
* Stallbreakers like Tapu Fini, Primarina, Zapdos are needed to help with Clefable and non-Metal Burst Mega Sableye. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Mega Venusaur and Golem for these.
* Garchomp and Landorus-T help with troubling Pokemon like non-Ice Punch Mega Metagross, Mega Pinsir and Mega Blaziken. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Ferrothorn, Genesect and Kommo-o for these. wouldn't list "non-ice punch mega metagross" as a set because the amount of popularity it's getting because of dnite and the mentioned above mons. rip i miss when ice punch wasnt the majority
* Pokemon like Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y and Incineroar are good to pair with Mega Medicham because they can care of Steel-types like Choice Scarf Jirachi, Magearna, Aegislash and Mega Metagross which Mega Medicham struggles with. In return, Mega Medicham can take care of troubling Pokemon like Landorus-T and Zygarde-C for them.

#banthisfromorasmonotypeplz #notbrokein1v1lmao

[OVERVIEW]

* Mega Medicham has a great Attack stat that goes great with its ability Pure Power which allows it to break Pokemon like Ferrothorn, non-Choice Scarf Landorus-T, Genesect, and non-Choice Scarf Dragonite.
* Thanks to Mega Medicham's great movepool, nitpick but it doesn't rlly have that amazing of movepool for 1v1, maybe just say 'coverage options' it can use Fake Out to break Sturdy and Multiscale from Pokemon like Magnezone and Dragonite. Mega Medicham also has access to elemental punches to break down Pokemon like Landorus-T and Gyarados with Ice Punch and Thunder Punch.
* Thanks to Mega Medicham's STAB attacks, it can get past Steel-types like Choice Specs you beat all genesect Genesect and Mega Venusaur with High Jump Kick and Zen Headbutt. combine these points and separate fake out, something like 'Mega Medicham deals slight chip damage with Fake Out and follows up with its useful coverage options in order to KO x, y, and z. (make the examples as unique to mega medicham as possible)
* However, Mega Medicham has trouble with faster Pokemon and common choice scarf users such as Mega Blaziken, Greninja, Porygon-Z and Jirachi because of Mega Medicham's bulk makes it unable to take a hit from these.
* It struggles with bulky Psychic-type Pokemon such as Tapu Lele, Mew, and Mega Slowbro, as Mega Medicham either fails to do damage to them, or gets outstalled.
* It further suffers against Pokemon like Aegislash and Mega Gengar because their STAB attacks OHKOs Mega Medicham. combine these two points and make it bulky psychics and ghosts
* Mega Medicham cannot get past walls like mega Sableye or Clefable because of them living Mega Medicham's attacks and slowly wear down its health to win.
include that it needs adamant to get guaranteed rolls on bulkier Pokemon like Zygarde but will fail to outspeed Pokemon like Tapu Lele or Normalium PZ if it runs Adamant.

Usage Tips
========

* Mega Medicham should Fake Out against Sturdy and Multiscale users like Magnezone, Mega Aggron, Golem or Dragonite turn 1 to get rid of Sturdy and Multiscale then use High Jump Kick or Ice Punch to take care of them. while this is true, fake out is almost always the play t1. make this point about how u should fake out t1 in every matchup except against specific pokemon (lele, ghost types, etc)
* Do send Mega Medicham out against Pokemon it can hit for super effective damage like Ferrothorn and Mega Venusaur as it is able to take care of these with High Jump Kick and Zen Headbutt.

In return, Mega Medicham can take on Steel-types like Heatran, non-Choice Scarf you beat scarf genesect Genesect and Ferrothorn for them.
* Stallbreakers like Tapu Fini, Primarina, Zapdos are needed to help with Clefable and non-Metal Burst Mega Sableye. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Mega Venusaur and Golem for these. golem is a nonissue for most of these. Why not Tapu Lele?

Other Options
=============

* Rock Tomb can be used over Zen Headbutt for bulky Mega Charizard X/Y, Zapdos no lol, zap will just ohko you and Volcarona; however, now Mega Medicham loses against Mega Venusaur and Fighting-types like Sawk no, you literally fake out into high jump kick.
* Thunder Punch with an Adamant nature enables Mega Medicham to take on Gyarados. However, Thunder Punch is useless outside of this. move to move mention
* Bullet Punch with Fake Out and an Adamant nature can be used to help take care of frail Pokemon like Pheromosa as well as Mega Gardevoir and Mega Diancie; however Bullet Punch does not do anything outside these few matchups. well yeah, thats why its an OO. Maybe instead mention the fact that medicham cannot normally afford to lose the coverage it runs for bp

Checks and Counters
===================

**Protect**: The rare Protect on Sturdy and Multiscale Pokemon like Magazone lmao and Dragonite causes Fake Out to fail and therefore make Mega Medicham lose the matchup. It also causes 50/50s with using High Jump Kick on Steel-types like Celesteela and Ferrothorn no, you would just spam high jump kick, you win unless he gets 3 protects as the crash damage makes Mega Medicham lose half of its health.

**Faster Pokemon**: Faster Pokemon like Greninja, Mega Lopunny, Zeraora, Jolly all garchomp are jolly Garchomp and Choice Scarf users such as Victini victini wins anyway, Porygon-Z, and Haxorus can take care of Mega Medicham with their STAB attacks due to Mega Medicham's low bulk. this should be first

**Super-effective damage**: Ghost- and Flying-type attacks from the likes of Aegislash and Togekiss can take care of Mega Medicham due to its mediocre bulk with their STAB type attacks. Fairy-types like Tapu Fini, Magearna and Mega Mawile and Tapu Lele why do you keep listing mons as both mons you beat and lose to. Poison jab beats lele and fini all OHKO Mega Medicham with their Fairy STAB attacks, and have the bulk to tank most of Mega Medicham's attacks.

**Walls**: Walls such as Mega Sableye and Clefable can tank any of Mega Medicham's attack and slowly wear Mega Medicham down to take care of it.

Fake Out is important to break Sturdy and Multiscale Pokemon like Magnezone and non-Choice Scarf or Protect Dragonite. High Jump Kick takes care of Steel- and Normal-type Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Genesect, Porygon2 and non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z hjk is more than just a coverage move, it's medi's strongest move by far. Be sure to include some things it deals with that it hits neutrally, like Meloetta, Kommo-o, Donphan, Serperior, etc. Zen Headbutt allows Mega Medicham to take on Mega Venusaur, Kommo-o already covered by hjk, replace with Volcarona, and bulky Mega Charizard Y. Ice Punch takes care of most flying- and Dragon-types like Landorus-T, and Zygarde. Poison Jab can be used over Ice Punch for Fairy-types like Tapu Bulu, bulky Tapu Fini, Primarina, Whimsicott and to 50/50 Mega Gardevoir with a speed tie. Thunder Punch with an Adamant nature enables Mega Medicham 50/50 Mega Gyarados, or beat Flyinium variants.

Having 252 Attack EVs and Pure Power turns Mega Medicham into a powerful attacker, as it can take care of walls like Porygon2 and Pokemon like Landorus-T and non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z. Having 252 Speed EVs along with a Jolly nature makes Mega Medicham able to outpace Pokemon like Vivillon, Landorus-T, Kommo-o and non-Choice Scarf Genesect. An Adamant nature can be used over a Jolly nature for to be able to take care of Zapdos, offensive Mega Metagross, and Zygarde. Mega Medicham can also almost always KO Primarina with Fake Out into Poison Jab. However, Mega Medicham fails to outspeed faster Pokemon like Vivillon and Genesect.

Usage Tips
========

Mega Medicham should almost always use Fake Out turn 1 for chip damage unless the Pokemon is a Ghost-type, or is Tapu Lele. This is useful against Magnezone, Mega Aggron, Golem or Dragonite especially to get rid of Sturdy and Multiscale then follow up with High Jump Kick or Ice Punch to take care of them. If Mega Medicham is not running Ice Punch, it cannot beat Landorus-T, so therefore should be careful about sending it out if a teammate does not pressure it. Only send Mega Medicham in on Pokemon like Primarina, Zapdos and Zygarde-C if you are running an Adamant nature, as Mega Medicham can beat them. If Mega Medicham does not have a Jolly nature, be careful around Normalium Z Porygon-Z and Villion as these all outpace and OHKO it. Be careful around walls like Mega Sableye, Deoxys-S and Clefable because both of these can slowly wear Mega Medicham down and take care of it. If the oppent has a fast Pokemon like Greninja or a common Choice Scarfer user like Porygon-Z, Genesect and Jirachi, then be careful about picking Mega Medicham as it will be unable to take care of these. add something somewhere about the Serperior matchup (Fake Out t1: if they use Protect, use hjk t2, if they don't, use ice punch t2. Medicham needs to be careful about crash damage, since a Leaf Storm will KO afterwards, while Ice Punch isn't strong enough to KO serperior without some chip damage from fake out or forcing it to use Substitute).

Team Options
========

Pokemon like Porygon-Z and Meloetta can take care of offensive Mega Charizard X and Y for Mega Medicham. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Steel-types like Heatran, Genesect, and Ferrothorn for them. Stallbreakers like Tapu Fini, Primarina, Zapdos are needed to help with Clefable and non-Metal Burst Mega Sableye. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Mega Venusaur and Tapu Lele. Groundium Z Garchomp and Landorus-T help with troubling Pokemon like non-Ice Punch bulky Mega Metagross, Mega Pinsir and Mega Blaziken. In return, Mega Medicham can take on Genesect and Kommo-o for them. Pokemon like Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y and Incineroar are good to pair with Mega Medicham because they can care of Steel-types that can deal with High Jump Kick like Choice Scarf Jirachi, Magearna, Aegislash and bulky Mega Metagross which Mega Medicham struggles with. In return, Mega Medicham can take care of troubling Pokemon like Tapu Fini, Primarina, Landorus-T and Zygarde-C for them.

Other Options
=============

Rock Tomb can be used over Zen Headbutt for bulky Mega Charizard X or Y, and Volcarona; however, now Mega Medicham loses against Mega Venusaur and Fighting-types like Sawk. Bullet Punch can be used to help take care of frail Pokemon like Pheromosa as well as Mega Gardevoir and Mega Diancie; however this means cutting off a coverage option like Ice Punch or Zen Headbutt that it needs.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Protect**: The rare Protect on Sturdy and Multiscale Pokemon like Magnezone and Dragonite causes Fake Out to fail and therefore make Mega Medicham lose the matchup. It also causes 50/50s with using High Jump Kick on Steel-types like Celesteela as the crash damage makes Mega Medicham lose half of its health.

**Faster Pokemon**: Faster Pokemon like Choice Scarf Porygon-Z, and Choice Scarf Haxorus ,Greninja, Mega Lopunny, Zeraora, and Garchomp can take care of Mega Medicham with their STAB attacks due to Mega Medicham's low bulk.

**Super-effective damage**: Ghost- and Flying-type attacks from the likes of Aegislash and Togekiss can take care of Mega Medicham due to its mediocre bulk with their STAB type attacks. Fairy-types like Magearna and Mega Mawile and all OHKO Mega Medicham with their Fairy STAB attacks, and have the bulk to tank most of Mega Medicham's attacks.

**Walls**: Walls such as Mega Sableye and Clefable can tank any of Mega Medicham's attack and slowly wear Mega Medicham down to take care of it.

[OVERVIEW]

Mega Medicham has a great Attack stat that goes great well with its ability Pure Power, (AC) which allows it to break Pokemon like Ferrothorn (not gp: does it really need pure power to kill ferro with hjk), non-Choice Scarf (single space)Landorus-T, Genesect, and non-Choice Scarf Dragonite. Mega Medicham uses the combination of Fake Out (single space)and reliable coverage moves to break Sturdy and Multiscale from of Pokemon like Magnezone and Dragonite then along with (what does "then along with" mean?) Pokemon like Genesect, Mega Venusaur, and non-Choice Scarf Landorus-T. However, Mega Medicham has trouble with faster Pokemon and common Choice Scarf users such as Mega Blaziken, Greninja, Porygon-Z, (AC) and Jirachi because of Mega Medicham's its bulk makes it unable to take a hit from these Pokemon. It struggles with bulky Psychic-(AH) and Ghost-type Pokemon such as Tapu Lele, Mew, Mega Slowbro, Aegislash, (AC) and Mega Gengar, (AC) as Mega Medicham either fails to do damage to them, or gets outstalled. Mega Medicham cannot get past walls like Mega Sableye or and Clefable because of them living Mega Medicham's its attacks and slowly wearing down its health to win (redundant, you already said "cannot get past"). Mega Medicham also struggles to settle on one nature to use, (AC) needing an Adamant nature to consistently beat bulkier Pokemon like Zygarde-C (RC) and Zapdos, but will no longer be able to outpace Tapu Lele or Normalium Porygon-(AH)Z without a Jolly nature.
