Iron Valiant @ Booster Energy

Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Focus Blast
- Moonblast

- Substitute

Use Substitute to scout Kingambit's Tera, once it reveals Ghost, you use Tera as well and OHKO with Shadow Ball. Since you're Ghost-type, the Mega Medicham coming in can't Fake Out. You can also just Moonblast the Mega Medicham without doing anything else if it's the first Mon out

for the current core I believe Tera fighting dragapult would break it easily. With tera fighting, it would easily OHKO kingambit, and then do the same to medicham.
If tera is not allowed, i will suggest Iron valiant. It would easily break those two, with faster speed than medicham with moonblast being super-effective, and a powerful CC to KO kingambit.
