Pure power Medichamp

[Ancient Arcanin]

Maths was never my strong point so I need a bit of help, how much does pure power increases medichamps attack by?

Also how much does intimidate reduce power by?

[titandude21]

pure power doubles attack.

intimidate lowers attack by 1 stage (% decrease isn't always the same)

[Ancient Arcanin]

wow thanks, that gives medichamp the highest attack in the game, dosen't it?

[Tallest_Los]

So...Pure Power automatically doubles Attack score? So, for example, if you had an Azumarril with 200 Attack, it would actually have 400 Attack?

[titandude21]

it doubles...

w/ pure power Medicham's attack is the highest in the game... barely higher than Slaking's 419/460.

[MetalScyther]

yeah, pure power doubles attack

its medicham, not medichamp. azumaril has huge power not pure power, but they are essentially the same thing

to bad medicham doesnt learn skill swap... ;(

[Kyl3]

Does Azumarril? ;_;

[Gligar_Man]

no, X(

youd have to do some chainswapping but thats not worth it...

[Tallest_Los]

I don't get it. If Medicham has the highest Attack Score in the game after Slaking, why doesn't anyone use her? And why do people use so many Special Attacks in her movesets?

[titandude21]

Medicham has low defenses and low speed; therefore it is UU.

Special Medichams are used either b/c it has Calm Mind or the trainer is stupid; likely the latter b/c there's no point in wasting an ability like pure power.

Uh,the ability says that if you use Skill Swap on Pure Power or Huge Power,it will cut the attack of the Pokemon who gets it in half. So Swill Swapping won't work. That's what keeps this ability from being so cheap.

<PwntBot> 7,5testo's GENGAR used SHADOW BALL!
<PwntBot> 7,5Jay's REGICE's health fell to 80%!
... 20% dmg
<PwntBot> 7,5testo's GENGAR used SKILL SWAP!
<PwntBot> 7,5testo's GENGAR swapped abilities with testo's MEDICHAM!
... (regice is now at 54%)
<PwntBot> 7,5testo's GENGAR used SHADOW BALL!
<PwntBot> 7,5Jay's REGICE's health fell to 17%!
... so it did 37%...

hmmm... X)

btw they had 85/85/85... and hardy personalities... just for testing purposes...

Pure/Huge Power stays right?
Or does it stop working after your first turn

[Gligar_Man]

it stays until you switch if skill swapped, but it stays on medicham/azumarill, for all time or until swapped off
