Fuck yeah Medicham. I ended up having one in Sapphire that I caught in Victory Road that I used to beat all of the contests using its original moves. It's always been one of my favorites.
Hey Haydunn. Awesome video and longtime fan. When the Hippo was in, it was locked into Roar from the Encore, so it couldn't switch to Earthquake. So you were safe no matter what.
Haydun!! I played against you yesterday on a wifi battle!! I got bodied by you I’m so glad you didn’t post it 😂 I was too excited to focus, thank you for the game! Hope to battle you again.
How do y'all find battles these days. I've been playing the regulation but three mons is so boring when they're always flutter, string cheese and blood moon lol
One thing on the commentary, the encore lasts 2 to 3 turns- he probably wanted to eq your muk but he couldn't! knock off was totally safe and you made the right play :D
Bro I remember watching your channel back in like 2016, so glad you popped up on my new account as a recommendation so I can start watching again. Love it’s still the same intro song as well, so nostalgic
"It's baby 206 Atk stat becomes 412" That's not fully trained. Without a +Atk Nature, you can get to 219 or 438 after Pure Power (This is the exact same Atk stat as a +Atk Rayquaza or +Atk Groudon) With a +Atk Nature, you can get to 240 or 480 after Pure Power (This is higher than +Atk Rampardos, and 2 points below +Atk Kyurem-Black)
Which speaking of IV slider, whenever I go to the abilities or attacks screen, by the time I get to the slider, it’s Attack IVs are automatically set to 0. Does that every time in Showdown.
This is my first time finding your channel & im binge watching while i should be sleeping, and im really happy i found this channel seeing a lot of my favorite pokemon i use across the games that i think are underrated asf. I watch a lot of competitive pokemon content and these vids are inspiring me to actually try wifi battles sometime and stop being nervous about it lol (plus i have a plethora of ev trained shinies bc i love shiny hunting and using them in raids xD)
Medicham is one of my all time favorites. It was on my very first Elite 4 + Champion win when I first played Pokemon Sapphire as a kid. I've been saying forever that it's extremely underrated. Power Trick is also a fun move to turn it into a defensive powerhouse. Not many stall applications, but it was always fun working with it against my friends who don't play competitively
Fun fact a misconception is abilities like pure power dont double the base stat it doubles the actual stat and same thing with evolite where it gives a 1.5x boost to the actual stat
I once used a Pure Power Medicham and Skill Swapped it onto a AV Slaking, then switched out Medicham (which resets Skill Swap) for a Heal Support Pokémon or an Intimidate one.
When I saw him switch into Alolan executor and looked at the name, I didn't get a good look at the mon at first because of the poke ball animation and red the name Facepaint instead of Faceplant and no lie went to thinking "When did he add Mamoswine too the team!" 😂❤️😭
Probably my favorite psychic type. When I played Ruby for the first time, I caught two of these mfers in the Victory Road, and they helped me get the W against Steven.
Can someone explain... Why is he able to use another move when he initially used Close Combat? I thought the choice items allow the use of only ONE move.
I feel like Gamefreak needs to check their % stats. Or maybe we need to make a catalogue of success vs failures of different moves. Because sometimes it seems like moves that are supposed to be 90/10 or 70/30 or even 95/5 are instead set to 50/50. I hope that isn't true, but the results feel very suspect and I think a statistical study needs to be done where we keep track of how many hits out of 100 we land on these mons that are supposed to be fairly accurate.
In doubles, I have medicham use Skill Swap on Golurk so the Golurk now has Pure Power. The Medicham receives No Guard from Golurk and knows High Jump Kick.
Hey Hayden, are you only looking for battles when you're on discord and in your find battles channel? Or can we just poke and ask if we spot you online? You always seem to ask at like 3am my time ;(
Haydunn, your medicham had ice punch, was stab close combat had more damage than ice punch at that moment? Or medicham special wasn't high enough to guarantee the down?
Ice Punch uses Atk, not Sp.Atk Before Diamond&Pearl (Gen 4) all Ice type moves were Special. Starting in Diamond&Pearl, Ice Punch, Ice Fang, Ice Shard, Icicle Spear, Ice Ball, and Avalanche all became Physical/use the atk and not Sp.Atk All types of moves did this.
Ice Punch would have been more damage. Close Combat = 120 × 1.5(STAB) × 0.5(Flying vs Fighting) = 90 Power Ice Punch = 75 × 4(Ice vs Flying+Dragon) = 300 Power Both use Atk and not Sp.Atk
Abilities like Pure Power are weird. If they just gave it the high stat outright, they could give them a more interesting ability. Thats the point/tradeoff, I know, but it’s an interesting choice.
Medicham with choice scraf and skill swap Then use it on a regigigas to swap slow start Congratulations, you now have a monster with crazy atack (over 900 if i remeber right), is your choise if you want to use a buffing move after
Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill + STAB Priority [Aqua Jet] (Azumarill's Base 50 means Huge Power Azu only hits as hard as +Atk Groudon or Rayquaza, whereas Pure Power Medicham hits as hard as +Atk Kyurem-Black) Medicham gets Bullet Punch, and Vacuum Wave. Vacuum Wave is STAB Priority, but coming off of the Sp.Atk stat
So weird to see medicham being ZU given how reliable this guy really is. Though this is based on useage so maybe more people need to be using medicham!
Level 100 Medicham actually reaches a total of 480 after huge power, had a mistake in the intro!
Can you run a doubles set with special medicham w skill swap and slaking
I can't wait to see Mega Nippleknee again in Legends ZA.
Fuck yeah Medicham. I ended up having one in Sapphire that I caught in Victory Road that I used to beat all of the contests using its original moves. It's always been one of my favorites.
Did you also comment this on a Pokeaim video recently?
Got some serious deja vu here

He didn’t post it… yet. lol

@@tristiancook5821go to linked battles instead of battle stadium.
The Muk Poisoning Hippowdown's lunch made my morning.

for some reason my IV slider was set to 0 when I recorded that stat, my b

Fun Fact: Pure Power & Huge Power abilities do the same thing...
Yeah, what's up with that?
@@rafaelsoto4742 medicham wanted to feel special
Both of Delibird's abilities do the same thing too.
Main difference is pure power boosts the moves while huge power boots the attack stat itself
@@rafaelsoto4742 Huge Power is actually a rabbit pun in Japanese, hence why it's only on rabbit mons.
Ngl the Medicham on the second battle dying to a Thunder Punch after all the badass moments plus the Tera was hilarious to me lmao
HAYDUNN I LOVE YOU EVERY EXTRA BATTLE YOU GIVE US MY HEART ONLY GROWS
AA-j was an unexpected but appreciated throwback
Man I been watching you since those DS days so hearing you reminisce gave me that warm and fuzzy lol
Fun fact : Medicham with skill swap is better wheezing for regigigas

new haydun vid, finally something interesting to watch while on my porcelain throne.
I feel like there was a missed opportunity to name medicham Knee-pples. No? I’ll see myself out
15:00 They didn't predict anything, They were encored 😂
lmao i was looking for this comment
I think it was more that they chose to stay in and roar rather than hard switch (whilst encored)
@@pragmaticduck1772 yeah exactly! i hope more people see this
encore doesn't mean they can't switch. They could've switched as a prediction.
I would totally still watch if you do additional videos on mon you previously covered! Just keep on battling!
always the sneaky funny nicknames that's why I've subbed so long.
Your comedic commentary is funny. "Get this guy a cheese burger 🍔 " 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I mainly use medicham to use the move skill swap with Regigigas, acupuncture helps too, this only works in doubles though
Been watching since the pokemon battle revolution masquerain and plusle and minun team you had. Content is still as good quality as it was then ❤
Focus stash Medicham w/ trick room & Drain Punch is my go to
Seeing you used shiny Medicham makes this video much better. Blue shinies are underrated 💙
Always a good time when a haydunn video drops 🔥
Damn first time watching and you drop a hoodie beat in your intro 😭😭😭 ima like your channel
Always love seeing ol nippleknee getting some usage lol. Also I thought Tera fire Ogerpon was banned? Unless they changed it back
Always Nice to see your vids brother! Keep it up!
Fun fact a misconception is abilities like pure power dont double the base stat it doubles the actual stat and same thing with evolite where it gives a 1.5x boost to the actual stat
I once used a Pure Power Medicham and Skill Swapped it onto a AV Slaking, then switched out Medicham (which resets Skill Swap) for a Heal Support Pokémon or an Intimidate one.
Medicham isn’t my favorite but seeing it be used like this for some reason.. brings me joy
“bloody knee boobs” killed me
When they trade stealth rocks :
We just go ahead and compare sizes 😂
you could have gone for another meteor beam against the slowking
Great video! Are you the one who had the Medicham named Titleg or was that someone else? I forget if this is a homage or just a new name.
Medicam flashed Dragonite that heart and the goof was so shocked they punched em.
14:50 muk was never in danger the hippo was still encored so it was a guaranteed roar or switch no reads needed really just a free knock off
you are indeed a pretty consistent fella
5:17 my thoughts exactly, solid mon for a video tho
When I saw him switch into Alolan executor and looked at the name, I didn't get a good look at the mon at first because of the poke ball animation and red the name Facepaint instead of Faceplant and no lie went to thinking "When did he add Mamoswine too the team!" 😂❤️😭
I can't wait to have megamedicham back, he was my little guy.
Why would they send out Corviknight against Coalossal in that first battle?
I have a team with medicham, with skill swap. I use dragon dance with Gyarados or haxarous and they wreck everything in sight. It’s beautiful
Coalossal was amazing here, tera was really a boost for this guy.
The 10% chance to miss has hoed me again man that hit in the feels 😢
The guys were fuckin up that hippo
ive had medicham on my team for ever its a powerhouse no expects.
Medicham has been my 2nd favorite only behind the OG Squirtle!!!
Scarf medicham is pretty good! I have to try him out!
Medicham is op in game play with pure power punching glove, element punch moves+ drain punch. Or swap punching glove for assault vest
Skill swap is also good in raids
Groudon with a starting stat 876 attack carried me through the hardest Annihilape run
Probably my favorite psychic type. When I played Ruby for the first time, I caught two of these mfers in the Victory Road, and they helped me get the W against Steven.
Can someone explain...

Thanks for the video man!
In doubles, I have medicham use Skill Swap on Golurk so the Golurk now has Pure Power. The Medicham receives No Guard from Golurk and knows High Jump Kick.
As much as i love wifi battles, i would love to see one more rom hack/ fan game before Nintendo decides to crack down on those as well😂
Why do you run heatwave over roost or defog on zapdos?
Specific counter to things like skarmory?
Can you make a Gumshoo video
I been trying to make this mon work but im having trouble. I wanna see what strategy you’d use.
It can skill swap with allies in doubles for some crazy combinations
It works out the best way with Slaking or Regigigas
Yaaaay Haydunn you’ve been doing pretty good lately! Congrats on the great content, always a blast!
The reason muk went first was because dark types are immune to prankster’d priority
Hey Hayden, are you only looking for battles when you're on discord and in your find battles channel? Or can we just poke and ask if we spot you online?
You always seem to ask at like 3am my time ;(
Wouldn’t it have been better to use scald and save his power herb for later or would scald have been a roll ?
Hi haydunn I had battle you earlier in the week it was a tough battle would like to battle again 1 - 0
Bread getting a show was funny.
Haydunn, your medicham had ice punch, was stab close combat had more damage than ice punch at that moment? Or medicham special wasn't high enough to guarantee the down?
Between medicham vs dragonight match up
Ice Punch uses Atk, not Sp.Atk
Before Diamond&Pearl (Gen 4) all Ice type moves were Special.
Starting in Diamond&Pearl, Ice Punch, Ice Fang, Ice Shard, Icicle Spear, Ice Ball, and Avalanche all became Physical/use the atk and not Sp.Atk
All types of moves did this.
Ice Punch would have been more damage.
Close Combat = 120 × 1.5(STAB) × 0.5(Flying vs Fighting) = 90 Power
Ice Punch = 75 × 4(Ice vs Flying+Dragon) = 300 Power
Both use Atk and not Sp.Atk
Wasn't he Choice Scarfed into Close Combat?
0:56 "Medicham has always been that dude"
Looks at current medicham is a female.
*I'm getting alot of contradictory information here.*
Keep this format!
I felt horrible for that Hippowdon
I would like to see you try Houdoom. I want to learn how to use Houdoom.
That why I love Medicham
Perfect segue into asking us to subscribe 😂😎
Let's just not talk about the things Medicham did in Go Battle League tho...
Nippleknee is back all we need more is paul
Abilities like Pure Power are weird. If they just gave it the high stat outright, they could give them a more interesting ability. Thats the point/tradeoff, I know, but it’s an interesting choice.
Medicham with choice scraf and skill swap
Then use it on a regigigas to swap slow start
Congratulations, you now have a monster with crazy atack (over 900 if i remeber right), is your choise if you want to use a buffing move after
Ok, so choice scarf Medicham is pretty common, but what about Choice BAND Medicham. (Tailwind/ Web support prob required)
what about special medicham with life orb oooooooooo
Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill + STAB Priority [Aqua Jet]
(Azumarill's Base 50 means Huge Power Azu only hits as hard as +Atk Groudon or Rayquaza, whereas Pure Power Medicham hits as hard as +Atk Kyurem-Black)
Medicham gets Bullet Punch, and Vacuum Wave. Vacuum Wave is STAB Priority, but coming off of the Sp.Atk stat
what nature and evs was that coalossal running? its not in the poke paste in the description
Lagging tail Medicham on trickroom team!
How do people do these 6v6?
I always ALWAYS liked this thing lol
Perfect timing! Let’s get it
Great video! 😊 Play amphoros plz
Two matches! ❤❤❤
I miss using my Mega Medicham..
GALARIAN SLOWKING IS NOT WEAK TO PSYCHIC
OKAY
@@aidanhogan-thomas1797 😂😂😂
I always use mega medicham. That thing is crazy
So weird to see medicham being ZU given how reliable this guy really is. Though this is based on useage so maybe more people need to be using medicham!
It also gets access to Psych Up which can make for some really silly plays. Imagine calling and copying a bellydrum.
Medicham the GOAT
Haydun forgot forgot Ogerpon is canonically female
Misses 90% accurate move, fails to get the 30% chance to burn, and dies to a critical hit 😂 wow
Can you use my boy Dragalge?
Mega medicham was my man!
One of my fav pokemon ❤❤❤
