Mega Medicham

Medicham-Mega @ Medichamite  Ability: Pure Power   EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe   Jolly Nature   - High Jump Kick   - Ice Punch   - Thunder Punch   - Fake Out

Moves: High Jump Kick is incredibly powerful and Mega Medicham’s strongest fighting stab. Ice Punch covers the bulky ground types like Landorus-T and grass types like Tangrowth and Amoonguss. Thunder Punch covers the flying types that aren’t weak to Ice Punch like Skarmory, as well as bulky water types like Toxapex. Fake Out provides vital chip damage and revenge killing. Zen Headbutt can also be used to take on the poison types, but Thunder Punch and Ice Punch generally covers nearly all of the relevant ones, only missing out on Mega Venusaur. 

Spread: Max speed with a Jolly nature allows Mega Medicham to outspeed anything up to base 100. Adamant can be used for the extra power, however, Jolly allows you to outspeed threats like offensive Landorus, making Jolly the better set usually. Max attack increases Mega Medicham’s already crazy damage output. Medichamite allows it to mega evolve into Mega Medicham. The ability before and after mega evolving is Pure Power, which doubles the attack of Mega Medicham. This creates a devastating force of an attacker. 

Team Support/Usage: Mega Medicham is a breaker that can smash through almost everything in the metagame. This allows it to perform amazingly against most balance, bulky offense, and semi-stall teams because it will usually get a kill whenever it gets a chance to come in. However, it can’t really do much against offense, due to its average speed and frailty. It also doesn’t do fantastic against stall because it’s walled by Mega Sableye pretty effectively. That isn’t to say that it’s useless against stall. In fact, if you can manage to weaken Sableye, then Mega Medicham will usually just win if they don’t have a Dugtrio. Pokemon that pair up well with Mega Medicham are going to be Pokemon like Tapu Koko, who can do well versus offense and act as a pivot to bring in Medicham, and Pokemon that can help break stall, like Heatran and Tapu Lele.
