Medicham Description

Medicham is a Fighting and Psychic-type Pokemon that sharpens its sixth sense through meditation. It evolves from Meditite starting at Level 37 and is known for Pure Power, which doubles its Attack stat in supported games.

Competitive Overview

Is Medicham Good in Competitive?

Medicham can be a dangerous physical attacker because Pure Power makes its Attack much higher than its base stat suggests. It often relies on strong Fighting-type moves, Psychic-type coverage, elemental punches and priority or utility moves to pressure opponents.

Medicham’s biggest strengths are Pure Power, wide physical coverage and Mega Medicham’s stronger Speed and offensive profile. Its biggest issues are average bulk, prediction-heavy moves and weaknesses to Flying, Ghost and Fairy-type attacks.
