Medicham (Japanese: チャーレム Charem) is a dual-type Fighting/Psychic Pokémon.

It evolves from Meditite starting at level 37.

Biology

Physiology

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, that seems to have three bulb-like extensions on the top and on the sides. Its large focused eyes are slightly covered by the headpiece, and its red lips seem to be in a rounded or puckered position.

Gender differences

The growth on top of Medicham's head is shorter on a female.

Special abilities

Medicham's meditation has 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.

Behavior

Medicham do daily 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.

Habitat

Medicham is said to live atop mountains similar to the mountainous region of Tibet. Dwelling atop harsh mountains in the silence of the cold, thin air is a part of its physical and mental training.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

It survives on only one Berry per month.

201
  • Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky: Team Charm debut in their own Special Episode, Lopunny being the playable character. She is shown to be the upbeat, tough, and, surprisingly, nervous member of the group, being sometimes wary and usually jumping quickly to conclusions. The team hears about the treasure filled Southern Jungle. They are advised to stay away by a Bellossom but the team continued on. They find a passed out Wigglytuff, who fainted due to hunger and give him a Perfect Apple, revitalizing him. They encounter Team AWD, who believe the team is pathetic. Before they enter, a Sentret pleads Charm to stop AWD, saying they were cruel to it. The team arrives at the dungeon's end, which holds an empty chest. AWD accuses Charm of taking the treasure and they fight. Wigglytuff appears to stop the brawl, and reveals that the chest is a Ditto. The Bellossom and Sentret earlier were also him. He reveals he is there to guard a Time Gear and the teams leave. They later bribe Wigglytuff with a Perfect Apple to join their team.

Trivia

Origin

Medicham resembles a primate of some sort, like its pre-evolution. It appears to have been based on a practitioner of yoga. It may have also been based on Arabian belly dancers, as its pants resemble traditional bedlah pants and its headgear resembles a shawl. One headpiece growth, the longest one, resembles a ponytail, which can be seen on Persian genies in most American fiction, such as Jeannie of I Dream of Jeannie, who also wear bedlahs. Like its predecessor Meditite, Medicham looks like many Hindu deities, most especially Shiva, and Ardhanari, a fusion of Shiva and his wife Shakti.

Name origin

Medicham may be a combination of meditate and champion.

Charem may derived from charm, harem, challenge, or champ.
