Signature card
Mega Medicham ex
Double Rare
Strengths
- Chakra Fist ignores all effects on the opponent's Active Pokemon, making Mega Medicham ex a hard counter to Oricorio Safeguard and similar protection walls.
- 140 damage with Psychic Energy attached is enough to knock out nearly all Stage 1 and Basic ex Pokemon in one hit.
- Favorable matchups against Mega Swampert ex (68%), Charizard ex (63%), and Leafeon ex (59%) show it threatens the format's bulkier ex attackers.
Weaknesses
- Mega Medicham ex is a Mega Pokemon; if it is knocked out, the opponent wins the game immediately — an instant loss.Mega KO = lose
- Mega Venusaur ex, Magnezone, and Skarmory ex matchups all sit at 25%, showing consistent vulnerability to certain high-pressure archetypes.Matchup
- Needing a Psychic Energy attachment for the 40-damage bonus adds a secondary energy type requirement to a Fighting-energy attacker.Deckbuilding

Strategy Guide
Auto-generatedMega Medicham ex attacks with Chakra Fist for 100 base damage or 140 when any Psychic Energy is attached, and its damage ignores all effects on the opponent's Active Pokemon — making it the premier counter to effect-dependent walls. The win condition is landing Chakra Fist into ex targets at 140 damage to score 2 points per swing.
Open by benching Meditite and using Professor's Research, Copycat, and Poké Ball to find basics while building toward the Medicham evolution. Because Mega Medicham ex is a Stage 1 Mega, you cannot skip Meditite — Poké Ball finds Meditite, and the Mega evolution must arrive through draw. Turn 3 onward, Mega Medicham ex threatens 140 damage with a Psychic Energy attached, covering a wide range of ex knockouts in one or two hits. Pichu and Oricorio on the bench provide supplemental utility, and Lucky Ice Pop along with Training Area smooth the energy and healing game plan.

How to Play
Attach Psychic Energy to Maximize Chakra Fist Damage
The 40-damage bonus from any Psychic Energy turns Chakra Fist from a solid 100-damage hit into a 140-damage sweep. Prioritize sourcing a Psychic Energy by turn 3 so Mega Medicham ex is immediately threatening on the turn it evolves. Training Area helps accelerate the additional energy type.
Counter Effect-Heavy Walls With the Ignore Clause
Chakra Fist's ignore clause is uniquely powerful against decks like Oricorio. When facing Safeguard or damage-reduction tools, Mega Medicham ex attacks straight through. Use Sabrina and Guzma to drag up the defending Pokemon and ensure Chakra Fist lands where it is most efficient.
How to Beat This Deck
Force the Instant-Loss Knockout
Every game against this deck has the same structural threat: if you can knock out the single Mega Medicham ex, the opponent loses immediately. Concentrate all offensive resources on the Mega. It has 180 HP as a Stage 1, so high-damage ex attackers or chip-plus-finisher sequences are required.
Deploy Psychic-Type Attackers to Exploit the Type Weakness
Fighting-type Pokemon are weak to Psychic. A high-damage Psychic attacker threatens Mega Medicham ex with boosted effective damage, turning 140 HP into a shorter survival window and racing the Mega before it can close out the game.
Race the Evolution Clock With Fast Basics
Mega Medicham ex needs Meditite on the bench plus a draw-delivered Mega evolution. Before turn 3, the opponent is attacking with raw Meditite or Pichu. Aggressive non-ex damage pressure in those two turns can deny the evolution window or leave the Mega on very low HP the turn it evolves.
Common Substitutions
Bench support / secondary attacker
- Oricorio:Provides Safeguard wall in the same list; covers matchups where Mega Medicham ex would be risky to commit
- Pichu:Bench filler that contributes early utility in the top build
