Medicham

[RaikouLover]

My friend traded me a meditite and he looks pretty cool. Is Medicham any good? Like something that could be used in the standard/uber environment. And can I have a moveset before I start training?

Medicham is awesome. 720 Attack, baby!

Medicham @Choice Band
Adamant
-Hi Jump Kick
-Shadow Ball
-Rock Slide
-Fake Out/Focus Punch

Brick Break instead of Hi Jump Kick can also work. :/ If Hi Jump Kick misses, Medicham is basically screwed. :X

 

[Tazzler]

Medicham could certainly be used in the standard metagame, but its a little iffy in Ubers. Might as well mention Bulk Up and Reversal as other options.

great attack..do the moves of angorbird expt focus punch it misses to much

 

[Tazzler]

Focus Punch doesn't miss; it just fails when flinched. It isn't that good ingame, but Fake Out isn't that hot either....Meh, its really a filler move.

 

[aragornbird]

Yeah, Brick Break, but I prefer the extra power of Hi Jump Kick. Brick Break can’t 2KO Skarmory like Hi Jump Kick can.

Don't use Cham in ubers unless you Baton Pass it a Belly Drum and Salac Boost from Smeargle. But there are better recipients for that.

You can use sleep souport if make Focus Punch successful, but as Tazzler said FP is only a filler and isn't needed too much. Breloom already masters that anyway.

I have a Jolly ditto so its easy to breed that nature on all my pokemon... Should I run Jolly on Medicham or shoot for Adamant? And how can I get a Salac Berry on the Carts?

 

[aragornbird]

Adamant please for max potential. You can’t get a Salac berry on the carts. And don’t use Medicham in ubers, if that’s what you’re thinking.
