Meditite Movesets & Competitive Sets

Backed by Pure Power, Meditite is a powerful Choice Band wallbreaker in ADV ZU. Meditite capably destroys defensive Pokemon like Corsola, Mightyena, and Porygon with its rare STAB Brick Break. Return deals significant damage to the most common physically defensive Pokemon that resists Fighting, Koffing, as well as Tentacool, and it has nearly perfect coverage with Brick Break, given that Shuppet is the only Ghost-type in the tier and is very uncommon. Shadow Ball destroys Substitute + Calm Mind Drowzee, has perfect neutral coverage with STAB Brick Break, and dents most Pokemon that resist Fighting. Hidden Power Flying 2HKOes bulky Grass-types like Gloom and Tropius and OHKOes Ariados as well as other Pokemon that resist Fighting, but its lower power makes it a less-than-optimal move for Meditite to lock into. A Jolly nature lets Meditite outspeed neutral nature Seaking as well as Speed tie opposing Meditite. Fast offensive teammates like Ponyta, Doduo, and Abra can more easily clean up teams once Meditite has worn down their defensive cores. Meditite's Speed leaves it vulnerable to faster Pokemon such as Aipom and Ponyta, so defensive teammates that can handle them such as Mightyena, Wartortle, and Corsola are appreciated. Physical walls like Gloom and Tropius are a pain for Meditite to beat on its own without good prediction, so Pokemon like Beedrill, Ponyta, and Quilava make excellent partners by beating them. Baton Pass support from users like Delcatty and Volbeat is appreciated to help Meditite get in more safely. Paralysis support from Castform, Flaaffy, and Porygon can slow down faster offensive Pokemon for Meditite to beat, and Meditite's power compensates for its more utility-oriented teammates. Koffing can switch into Meditite's STAB move, so partners like Corsola, Drowzee, and Ponyta are appreciated as switch-ins to Koffing.
