Mega Medicham is a destructive wallbreaker that is hugely threatening to several common defensive staples like Ferrothorn, Toxapex, Great Tusk, and Melmetal. Its immense power even allows it to 2HKO bulky neutral targets like Corviknight and Alomomola. Fake Out allows Mega Medicham to pressure faster and more offensive Pokemon like Mega Lopunny, Iron Moth, and Ogerpon-W. This lets Mega Medicham act as a revenge killer if these threats are weakened, and it chips much of the metagame decently. Ice Punch blows past Landorus-T, Gliscor, and Dragonite with ease. Bullet Punch alongside Fake Out improves Mega Medicham's revenge killing capabilities versus offensive teams, and it notably applies significant pressure onto Mega Diancie and Iron Valiant. Fire Punch hits Gholdengo, which is a very common check, and almost always OHKOes Mega Scizor. Fire Punch's targets are very specific, however, which makes it less consistent than Ice Punch and Bullet Punch on a game-to-game basis.

Pursuit trapping checks is hugely beneficial to Mega Medicham. Assault Vest Kingambit and Weavile can trap and remove checks such as Gholdengo, Mega Latios, Mega Latias, Dragapult, and Slowbro. Mega Medicham threatens several Pokemon that are irritating for them in return, such as Great Tusk, Alomomola, and Toxapex. Mega Medicham's poor defensive profile makes it hard to switch into battle safely, so it appreciates slow pivots like Alomomola, Galarian Slowking, and defensive Landorus-T that can ease prediction and help it get on the field. A solid defensive backbone is advised when using Mega Medicham, as several very common offensive threats revenge kill it with ease, including Dragapult, Mega Latios, and Ogerpon-W. Teammates like Toxapex, Ferrothorn, Ting-Lu, and Assault Vest Kingambit are very helpful in this regard. Hisuian Samurott is another great teammate that checks threatening Ghost- and Psychic-types like Gholdengo and Mega Latios while also laying down Spikes, and it can use Flip Turn to pivot Mega Medicham into battle. Other forms of entry hazard support, like Spikes from Ferrothorn and Stealth Rock from Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and Ting-Lu, are generally very helpful, as they help wear down checks such as Gholdengo. Fast late-game cleaners like Zamazenta, Dragapult, Iron Valiant, and Cinderace appreciate Mega Medicham blowing up opposing defenses before they come into battle to sweep later on.

Mega Medicham is a destructive wallbreaker that is hugely threatening to several common defensive staples, with Ferrothorn, Toxapex, Great Tusk, and Melmetal all falling prey to it. Fake Out allows Mega Medicham to pressure offensive teams consisting of faster Pokemon such as Mega Lopunny, Urshifu-RS Iron Moth, and Ogerpon-W all taking significant chip. This allows Mega Medicham to act as a revenge killer if these threats are weakened, and it chips much of the metagame decently. Ice Punch allows Mega Medicham to blow past Landorus-T, (AC) and Gliscor and Dragonite with ease. Bullet Punch improves Mega Medicham's matchup versus offensive teams. It notably applies significant pressure onto Mega Diancie and Iron Valiant, and will revenge kill many weakened offensive Pokemon in conjunction with Fake Out. Fire Punch hits Gholdengo, which is a good check otherwise, and almost always OHKOes Mega Scizor. It is overall more niche than the other options, however why? should mostly mention fpunch being specific to those 2 only compared to ipunch/bp and being less spammable overall.

Hisuian Samurott is another great teammate that checks threatening Ghost- and Psychic-types like Gholdengo, Mega Latios, and Slowbro while also laying down Spikes this part should be mentioned in a seperate sentence but u deffo wanna talk abt how useful hazards are in wallbreaking and using Flip Turn to pivot Mega Medicham into battle.

Mega Medicham is a destructive wallbreaker that is hugely threatening to several common defensive staples, with like Ferrothorn, Toxapex, Great Tusk, and Melmetal all falling prey to it. simplify, also mention pure power letting it 2kho heavy physdef oriented pivots like alo and corv Fake Out allows Mega Medicham to pressure offensive teams consisting of faster and more offensive given examples arent offense only Pokemon such as Mega Lopunny, Iron Moth, and Ogerpon-W all taking significant chip. this is already emphasized in the bext sentence This allows Mega Medicham to act as a revenge killer if these threats are weakened, and it chips much of the metagame decently. unnecessary, mention that its also useful vs speed boosting sweepers like sshot chomp Ice Punch allows Mega Medicham to blow past Landorus-T, Gliscor, and Dragonite with ease. Bullet Punch in conjuction with Fake Out improves Mega Medicham's matchup revenge killing capabilities versus offensive teams. It, notably applies applying significant pressure onto Mega Diancie and Iron Valiant, and will revenge kill many weakened offensive Pokemon in conjunction with Fake Out. merged bullet punch into one sentence Fire Punch hits Gholdengo, which is a good ghold is one of the most consistent mmedi checks, “good” kinda undersells this as fp is mainly used solely for it check otherwise, and almost always OHKOes Mega Scizor. Fire Punch's targets are very specific, however, which makes it less consistent than Ice Punch and Bullet Punch on a game to game basis.

Teammates like Toxapex, Ferrothorn, Ting-Lu, and Assault Vest Kingambit are very helpful in this regard. merge this w the sentence prior if possible Hisuian Samurott is another great teammate that checks threatening Ghost- and Psychic-types like Gholdengo, Mega Latios, and Slowbro slowbro isnt exactly threatening while also laying down Spikes and using Flip Turn to pivot Mega Medicham into battle. Other forms of entry hazard support, like other Spikes from Ferrothorn or Stealth Rock from Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and Ting-Lu are generally very helpful, as they help wear down checks such as Gholdengo.
