Mega Medicham is a legitimate tier-1 option in singles with 0.3% usage at 1760+ and rank #125. Mega's boost (Attack 130, Spe 100) combined with Pure Power (doubling to ~260 effective Attack) creates overwhelming physical pressure. Expert commentary describes it as 「physically equivalent to Mega Charizard-Y」—a hard breaker and threat creator that earned its one-line status through sheer damage output.
Playstyle：Mega Medicham runs a pure physical breaker set: Close Combat (22.7%), Zen Headbutt (17.2%), Bullet Punch (14.5%), Ice Punch (12.6%), Fake Out (10.3%), Thunder Punch (8%). Pure Power's doubling effect is compounded by Mega's Attack boost (130). Adamant (28.6%) dominates for raw damage; Jolly (15.5%) for speed-first builds. EVs maximize Attack (~252 Atk) and Speed (~100+ Spe), leveraging Pure Power's doubling to achieve ~260 effective Attack. The strategy is simple: outspeed and OHKO walls that would normally require setup.
Mega Medicham in doubles sees 0.09% usage at 1760+ and rank #171—lower than singles (0.3%) but still viable. With physical partners like Kingambit (9.2%), Torkoal (8.6%), and Farigiraf (7.7%), Fake Out (21.1%) and Close Combat (22.2%) maintain offensive pressure. Double's speed demands are harsher, but Mega Attack (130) + Pure Power doubling compensates. It functions as a dedicated physical sweeper when support is provided.
Playstyle：Mega Medicham's doubles build maintains physical aggression while adding survival. Core moves: Close Combat (22.2%), Fake Out (21.1%), Zen Headbutt (11.4%), Protect (8.1%), Psycho Cut (7.8%), Detect (6.1%). Pure Power (100%) mandatory. Adamant nature with standard spreads (252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP) dominates; some use 0-Speed variants for Trick Room. Medichamite (100%). The pattern: Fake Out → Close Combat, pivoting on Protect when threatened. Protects its OHKO plays and enables partner setup.
Medicham is severely marginal in singles, with 0.06% usage at 1760+ and rank #190. Its base form's frail bulk (HP 60, Def 75, SpD 75) and mediocre speed (80) make it unreliable in a 6v6 best-of-3 format. While Pure Power and Agility offer setup potential, its paper-thin physical Defense (60 base) and modest damage output can't overcome the competitive environment.
Playstyle：Medicham's niche is split: Focus Sash (53.6%) variants run Agility (13.1%) as a glass cannon setup, while Choice Scarf (46.3%) goes for raw speed. Core moves are Close Combat (23.2%), Zen Headbutt (15.1%), Agility (13.1%), and Upper Hand (13%). Pure Power (99.9%) is ubiquitous. Adamant (52.8%) and Jolly (38.8%) split, the former maximizing raw damage, the latter chasing Speed control. The strategy is all-in: Agility plus fastest STAB into walls, hoping to OHKO before losing momentum.
Medicham has a defined niche in doubles with 0.07% usage at 1760+ and rank #178. Pure Power's base-stat doubling (effectively 240 Attack) combined with Fake Out (23.1%) and Close Combat (22.7%) delivers reliable single-turn damage. Partners like Kingambit (10.7%) and Farigiraf (8.1%) embrace its break-down role. Speed and bulk remain constraints, but careful team building leverages its one-hit threat, especially alongside speed control or defensive supports.
Playstyle：Medicham's doubles build is heavily physical. Core moves: Fake Out (23.1%), Close Combat (22.7%), Ice Punch (7.9%), Bullet Punch (5.4%), Rock Slide (5.1%). Adamant (21.2%) or Brave (18.7%); Brave enables 0-Speed mechanics for Trick Room abuse. Items prioritize Focus Sash (60.9%) for survival, White Herb (20.3%) vs. stat drops. Pure Power (77.7%) standard, Telepathy (22.3%) in some builds to prevent ally damage. The strategy: Fake Out → Close Combat for high single-turn damage, break down bulky threats, then pivot for partner setup.
