Good moveset for Medicham

Toothache said:
You guessed right. BU is Bulk Up.

Medicham does have the highest unboosted Attack in the game, starting off at 482, and growing to a monster 723 with Choice Band. Killer for anything with low Defence, especially if you figure in Fake Out.
I hope you don't take offense to this, but you should learn more about Pokemon, because if you think Medicham is BL, and Marowak is UU you must be an idiot.

I guess switching out is the best thing to do in that situation. I'd rather not have to switch out though.

Unfortunately for you, everything has a counter, which means if you are a good player, you'll want a mastery of switching and prediction.

I had no idea Medicham was a Fight/Psychic type. Its an interesting combination. I dont know if putting special move on it is a good idea. Because of its "pure power" ability.

SO what do you guys think? I have read Medicham is good for a BPer , Physical and Special Sweeper.

Serebii Suggested:
Brick Break
Shadow Ball
Rock Slide or HP rock
Fake out

I would try a Salac sweeper, like this one.
Medicham@Salac Berry
EVs: 252 ATK/252 SPD/6 HP
Nature: Adamant (ATK+/SA-)
Endure
Reversal
Rock Slide
Shadow Ball

This can be very effective against teams that don't have T-Tar. Another option, better against T-Tar, would be:
Medicham@Leftovers/CB
EVs: 252 ATK/252 SPD/6 HP
Nature: Jolly (SPD+/SA-)
Hi Jump Kick
Shadow Ball
Rock Slide
HP Bug

The former is the e4 recommended set, but the latter works as well. As for special attacks, the only one Medicham has any business with is Psychic to kill Weezing, or maybe Fire Punch for Skarm/Forry.
 
yea medicham hits 480, then with cb 720, deoxys-f does have more.

Subcham or cbcham is what I'd recommend as everything else is really just a novelty set....

Subcham- sub, rock slide, reversal, hi jump kick/shadow ball/focus punch/bp

cbcham is listed above many times - hjk, shadow ball, focus punch/frustration, rock slide

Medicham doesn't need HP bug because of Shadow Ball, and last i checked, Psychic doesn't kill weezing, and Fire Punch is inferior to what Focus Punch, Hi Jump Kick, and Brick Break can do to skarm and Forry.
 
People are obsessed with the words "It's Super Effective!"
 
psychic is actually kind of nice for weezing....but, return does the job and hits alot of other things hard as well, a dog with many tricks!

I have to sort of agree. Some of these people need to use better EVs because in some cases EVs can make just as much as a difference as effectiveness.
 
Are people downing Medichams special attack because its not doubled when it hits the feild. Because Medichams special attack is the same as its attack, before pure power comes into play.
 
~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

Yeah, and guess what? It's special attack is horrible. With Modest and max EVs, it only reaches 240 which is pathetic.
Physical attacks please. Special sweeping ones should stick to joke teams/novelty teams.

Does Medicham have any use for his attacking stats outside a battle?
