Medicham (Japanese: チャーレム Charem) is a Fighting/Psychic-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Gender differences
The strange growth on top of Medicham's head is shorter on a female.
Special abilities
Behavior
Medicham do daily Template:M2 to hone their spiritual power. In the process they've 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'll use dance-like movement to dodge attacks and then attack back fiercely.
