Medicham Lv. 42 D&P
Happy Monday, hope you’ve had a good weekend.
Today’s COTD is Medicham, this card looks good,
until you figure that the ‘Force Palm’ attack is
almost useless as most evolved pokemon can OHKO
Medicham. The spinning kick attack is good because
it can 2HKO Flygon EX (unless Flygon can attack,)
and can OHKO almost any stage 1 or lower that will
evolve. Sadly Medicham is 10 – 20 HP away from being
big, and probably the business partner of Machamp
D&P instead of Lucario. If only Energy Root wouldn’t
go away next year…
Pros –
Stage 1
Can do 80 damage for 1 (f)
Good second attack
Cons –
2 retreat
Can be OHKO’ed by the “hot headed flaming monkey”
Infernape, Flygon EX, Banette EX, Machamp, ETC…
Unlimited – no 1/5
Modified – 4/5 paired with energy root, 3/5 without
Limited – It can work here as it can OHKO
everything, and can’t be OHKO’ed by much 4/5
We need another energy root next year, and then
Medicham might see some play,
“Old age isn't that bad when you consider the
alternative.”
