First off, it has amazing attack(base 165) and has a decent speed(base 110) so it outspeeds Medicham! And it has pretty nice bulk, meaning it can take hits. And Gallade has Fake Out immunity due to its ability inner focus.

I see you already have your set for Gallade, except you can change Psycho Cut to Zen Headbutt if you want power and the flinch chance. That’s completely optional though.

Hope I helped!

First of all,I’ll list the major differences between these two:

Stats:Medicham-Mega: HP:60,Attack:100(200 after you count Pure Power),Defense:85,Special Attack:80,Special Defense: 85,Speed:100

Gallade-Mega:HP:68,Attack 165,Defense: 95,Special Attack: 65,Special Defense: 110,Speed:110.

As you can see above,Gallade is somewhat better than Medicham.It has more bulk and speed but is lacking in attack by a huge margin.

Moves: Medicham:High Jump Kick: This one is probably Cham’s signature move.It may be a bit risky but when it hits,it really PAYS OFF!!!

Fake Out: This one is great for disrupting the opponents strategy is used at the right time.

Gallade:Swords Dance: Once you set this up,Gallade can be a HUGE threat.

Feint: Not sure if it is that useful but can come in handy if used at the right time.

I think Medicham wins this round.

The Decision:Personally,I’d go with Gallade mainly because of the swords dance.Once it sets up,it covers up for the attack loss it has against Cham.But for it to be set up properly,it needs a follow me support which your team doesn’t have apparently.So I would go with Cham with this moveset:

Medicham @ MedichamiteAbility: Pure PowerEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Ice Punch- Fake Out- High Jump Kick- Psycho Cut

However,the final decision is up to you.

Hope I helped!
