'''Medicham''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チャーレム''' ''Charem'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Psychic}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Meditite}} starting at [[level]] 37.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Medicham's position of its humanshape body resembles a yoga practitioner, with a gray body and what seems to be large red and yellow pants or shorts. It wears some sort of headpiece that is also red with three yellow spots in the center. Its large focused eyes are slightly covered by the headpiece, and its red lips seem to be in a rounded or puckered position.<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
The growth on top of Medicham's head is shorter on a female.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Medicham's meditation have caused it to develop a sixth sense, allowing for extreme focus as well as elegant movement. Its agility allows it to deliver devastating hits to its opponents.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Medicham do daily {{m|Meditate|meditation}} to hone their spiritual power. In the process they have gotten psychic powers such as reading people's minds at will. Because they are so focused in meditation, they will often go without food for a whole month or eat only little. They meditate in the wild and are known to use bushes, rocks or anything in nature to hide themselves from humans and other Pokémon. When Medicham are in battle, they will use dance-like movement to dodge attacks and then counterattack fiercely.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]<br />
Medicham is said to live atop mountains similar to the mountainous region of {{wp|Tibet}}. Dwelling atop harsh mountains in the silence of the cold, thin air is a part of its physical and mental training.<br />
<br />
===Diet===<br />
{{main|Pokémon food}}<br />
It survives on only one berry per month.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[Image:Greta Medicham.jpg|210px|thumb|right|{{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} and {{TP|Greta|Medicham}}]]<br />

<br />
{{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} battled against {{Ash}} with a {{TP|Greta|Medicham}} in ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier]]''. The Meditation Pokémon was literally crushed by [[Ash's Snorlax]].<br />
<br />
Medicham and its pre-evolution were owned by a family of traveling circus performers in ''{{g|Ranger and the Temple of the Sea}}''. The two Meditation Pokémon used {{m|Psychic}} to make balls of water retain their form.<br />
<br />
A Medicham was a member of [[Team Meanies]] in ''{{g|Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!}}''.<br />
<br />
A Medicham appeared in [[DP120]] in a preview under the ownership of [[Candice]] fighting [[Ash's Staraptor]].<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
Medicham made a cameo in {{Special|Ruby}}'s Normal Rank Beauty on Verdanturf City<br />
<br />
==In the TCG==<br />
{{main|Medicham (TCG)}}<br />

'''Medicham''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チャーレム''' ''Charem'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Psychic}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Meditite}} starting at [[level]] 37.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Medicham's position of its humanshape body resembles a yoga practitioner, with a gray body and what seems to be large red and yellow pants or shorts. It wears some sort of headpiece that is also red with three yellow spots in the center. Its large focused eyes are slightly covered by the headpiece, and its red lips seem to be in a rounded or puckered position.<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
The growth on top of Medicham's head is shorter on a female.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Medicham's meditation have caused it to develop a sixth sense, allowing for extreme focus as well as elegant movement. Its agility allows it to deliver devastating hits to its opponents.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Medicham do daily {{m|Meditate|meditation}} to hone their spiritual power. In the process they have gotten psychic powers such as reading people's minds at will. Because they are so focused in meditation, they will often go without food for a whole month or eat only little. They meditate in the wild and are known to use bushes, rocks or anything in nature to hide themselves from humans and other Pokémon. When Medicham are in battle, they will use dance-like movement to dodge attacks and then counterattack fiercely.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]<br />
Medicham is said to live atop mountains similar to the mountainous region of {{wp|Tibet}}. Dwelling atop harsh mountains in the silence of the cold, thin air is a part of its physical and mental training.<br />
<br />
===Diet===<br />
{{main|Pokémon food}}<br />
It survives on only one berry per month.<br />
<br />

<br />
Medicham and its pre-evolution were owned by a family of traveling circus performers in ''{{g|Ranger and the Temple of the Sea}}''. The two Meditation Pokémon used {{m|Psychic}} to make balls of water retain their form.<br />
<br />
A Medicham was a member of [[Team Meanies]] in ''{{g|Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!}}''.<br />
<br />
