Choice Scarf Medicham is a solid revenge killer and late-game cleaner. Pure Power gives Medicham an edge over Passimian, one of its main sources of competition, by allowing its Close Combat to 2HKO bulky foes like Vaporeon before Terastallization. Zen Headbutt's Base Power is good against foes like Tera Fairy Chansey, but Psycho Cut is an alternative that doesn't make contact, which helps against Rocky Helmet users, Drifblim, and Poison Point Qwilfish. Thunder Punch hits Bruxish and Flying-types like Drifblim and Oricorio-F. Trick punishes defensive switch-ins like Sandaconda and is especially beneficial to use against bulky teams, since they are generally slower than Medicham anyway. Tera Fighting enhances Medicham's wallbreaking and cleaning potential by powering up Close Combat, and it lets Medicham resist Toxicroak and Bombirdier's Sucker Punch. Partners that commonly run Choice Scarf, such as Zoroark and Rotom, can revenge kill foes instead of Medicham early-on, keeping its set a mystery. Zoroark can also use Illusion to lure in and eliminate Ghost-types, which reduces how many predictions Medicham needs to make, while Rotom checks Flying-types and blanks Sandaconda and Choice Scarf Toxicroak.

content is good, I'd probably give Medicham a little more credit in the opening (it's better than decent) and condense the Psychic-type attack sentences. You don't really need a sentence for Zen Headbutt and can instead just say "as an alternative, psycho cut hits as zhb the same targets but doesn't make contact" or something to that effect

qc 1/1 when done

Choice Scarf Medicham is a solid revenge killer and late-game cleaner. Pure Power gives Medicham an edge over Passimian, one of its main sources of competition, by allowing its Close Combat to 2HKO bulky foes like Vaporeon even if Medicham doesn't Terastallize. Psycho Cut hits all the same targets as Zen Headbutt without making contact with the foe, before Terastallization. Zen Headbutt's Base Power is good against foes like Tera Fairy Chansey, but Psycho Cut is an alternative that doesn't make contact, which helps against Rocky Helmet users, Drifblim, and Poison Point Qwilfish, though its lower Base Power hurts in matchups like Tera Fairy Chansey. Thunder Punch hits Bruxish and Flying-types like Drifblim and Oricorio-F. Trick punishes defensive switch-ins like Sandaconda and is especially beneficial to use against defensive teams, which since they (all changes to this sentence are a package deal. if this is worse than the previous version, just ignore them all) are generally slower than Medicham anyway. Tera Fighting enhances Medicham's wallbreaking and cleaning potential by powering up Close Combat and also makes it Combat, and it lets Medicham resist Toxicroak and Bombirdier's Sucker Punch. Partners that commonly run Choice Scarf, such as Zoroark and Rotom, can obscure Medicham's set revenge kill foes instead of Medicham early-on, keeping its set a mystery (I imagine this makes sense still? "early-on" can be replaced if it is imprecise) until it needs to revenge kill a foe or use Trick. Zoroark can also use Illusion to lure in and eliminate Ghost-types, which reduces how many predictions Medicham needs to make, while Rotom checks Flying-types and blanks Sandaconda and Choice Scarf Toxicroak.
