Medicham Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Medicham looks average on paper at 410 BST. But Pure Power is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier on our tier list. Bullet Punch with Assault Vest is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, yes. Mega Medicham is the evolved form, sitting at 510 BST. Big power spike over base Medicham (410). Equip the Mega Stone and it transforms in battle.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Medicham's biggest threats include Salamence (Flying), Misdreavus (Ghost), and Clefable (Fairy), all carrying super-effective STAB moves.
Medicham gets Pure Power and Telepathy. But Pure Power is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Medicham is leaning toward the physical side (base 60 Attack). Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 80 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many.
