**To use Medicham effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Fighting/Psychic type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Medicham appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Medicham fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Pure Power, Focus Sash and Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Fake Out, Close Combat, Trick Room, Skill Swap, Zen Headbutt, and Psycho Cut. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Medicham has important weaknesses to fairy 2x, flying 2x, ghost 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Farigiraf, Kingambit, Sinistcha, Tyranitar-Mega, and Camerupt-Mega appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
