Cham is dead. It was good, because of its body and t2 capablities, but now its no good.
yeah i know its not legal anymore i just curious about why it was good when it was around.

i think he's talking about Medicham ex & not the normal Medicham....
Either way, it's still legal... and getting a 10 damage boost on [F] resistant Poké's isn't that good. The Body is trumped by CC now. Actually, it got trumped first by GatrEX. Pure Power is a little weak now. Jynx with a DRE beats it out.
Yes, Medicham ex IS legal, but unfortunately its card combos are not...
anyway, the deck focuses on disruption... there's a lot of Rocket's Admin and Pow! Hand Extension (which both is rotated out) to lock down your opponent, while you can place 3 damage counters every turn in any way you like. Furthermore, the body prevents non-ex Pokes from using their powers, which stops Pidgeot (FRLG), Magcargo (DX) and a lot of decks that focuses on powers.
The quick set-up is done by using Jirachi HL to quickly evolve the Pokes, and then using Swoop! Teleporter to get more Meditites out. Actually, I think the Worlds guy should have used Jirachi DX instead for this purpose as he can immediately evolve after using the power and swooping it (in the 2nd turn).

Am I the only one who thinks Medicam Ex does have a fighting chance in this format? I know it isn't as good, but I think, in a combo with Houndoom (Uf), it will still work. Plus, someone in my league was playing Medicham Ex/Shiftry Ex and did pretty well with it.
It's not dead, it's just people haven't discovered the right combo's for it.

How does that work? They can't use Poké-Powers and therefore can't get Dark Eye'd. What's the HoundCham thing?
The Shiftry/Medicham deck was based on Pure Power and Target Attack. The person Pure Powered several Pokemon at once in order to power up Target Attack.
The HoundCham thing (or, as I like to call it, Medidoom) is meant to lock Poke-Powers and trainers in, while using Pokemon Reversal and Energy Removal 2 to hurt major threats on the bench. Well, that's the theory...

Caturne d>medicham then. Hit 3 pokes, then next turn, 3 more damage and an extra as well.Jigglypuff13 said:

So can Medicham Ex, but it also shuts Powers when Shiftry isn't around.
shut off Shiftry ex's power? It's a body! And not to mention, Medicham ex's aura ignores pokemon-ex.
Anyone thought of using Shiftry ex + Jolteon ex instead? Far better than wasting a turn for bench attacking. Teching in a Rayquaza ex d is also nice.

What I meant is it shuts off the opponents Powers, which is good if you don't have Shiftry Ex out.
So that deck would basically work like this...
set up a bit first
then bring out the 'cham, hitting your opponent here and there
then bring out Shiftry to clean up the mess swiftly
Am I correct in that way of thinking? Because if so, I can see that deck working but it might take too many turns to get up and running. And indeed, nowadays Cacturne would do the job just as well. And Flygon Ex, although it only hits basics with that.
And on top of that, Medicham has a horrid weakness and no resistance, and 110 HP for a Pokemon-Ex is kind of dangerous. It might just be over too soon to get rolling nowadays. Sad, really.

Yes, that's it, but where I live, it worked pretty well, until people got used to deck, then it started losing, even to my Ludicargo. But, at first, it was pretty good. And any way, why would Cacturne be any better?
