Strategy Overview

Medicham is a powerful wallbreaker in RU due to its amazing offensive typing and great ability in Pure Power, which doubles Medicham's Attack stat. Boasting a great STAB combination, Medicham is one of the hardest Pokemon to wall in the tier, having just a few safe counters, such as Cresselia and Uxie. Medicham makes up for its lackluster bulk of 60 / 75 / 75 with its great offensive presence and decent base 80 Speed stat, which allows it to Speed tie with Gardevoir and outspeed slower threats like Mega Blastoise and Tyrantrum. Alongside Medicham's STAB options, it has coverage such as Thunder Punch to deal with Flying-types and Slowbro, as well as Fake Out and Bullet Punch to pick off faster threats. However, its lack of defensive presence makes it hard to justify using over Fighting-types like Virizion, Bewear, and Toxicroak, which can offer useful resistances alongside their access to Swords Dance. Additionally, Pangoro and Machamp have raw power and can beat common Fighting-resistant Pokemon due to their access to Knock Off.
