Medicham V is a Rare Ultra Pokémon card from the Evolving Skies set, released in 2021. It belongs to the Fighting type and has 210 HP, requiring two Colorless energy to retreat. The card features a Psychic weakness with double damage, making it vulnerable to that type. Medicham V has two attacks: Yoga Loop, which costs two Colorless energy and places two damage counters on an opponent’s Pokémon, potentially allowing the attacker to take an extra turn if the target is Knocked Out. The second attack, Smash Uppercut, costs a Fighting and two Colorless energy, dealing 100 damage while ignoring Resistance effects. Additionally, the card’s rules state that if Medicham V is Knocked Out, the opponent loses two Prize cards. Designed by artist Kiyotaka Oshiyama, this card emphasizes strategic play through its unique ability to extend turns and disrupt opponents. Its design aligns with the Sword & Shield series, reflecting the evolution theme central to the set.
