How to use Medicham Mega in the current VGC format?

**To use Medicham Mega effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Fighting/Psychic type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Medicham Mega 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 Mega fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Pure Power, Medichamite and Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Close Combat, Fake Out, Psycho Cut, Rock Slide, Zen Headbutt, and Protect. 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 Mega 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 Kingambit, Farigiraf, Sinistcha, Torkoal, and Basculegion appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
