Core: Heracross / Medicham

UU Time! This is an offensive core, functioning similarly to combinations like Excadrill / Landorus in OU. Heracross and Medicham can be played as parallel sweepers, each opening up holes in opposing teams so that the other can eventually sweep. Since these two are among the strongest Fighting types in the UU tier, very little can stand up to both of them together.

Thanks to its high Attack stat, Heracross is capable of ripping holes in opposing counters so that Medicham can safely sweep later in the match. Megahorn is one of the few physical moves that can power through Slowbro, netting a clean 100% OHKO with this set. Pursuit can be used to trap and kill Ghost-types that could switch into the core's choiced Fighting attacks. Even better, Heracross' ability Guts ensures that it doesn't have to worry about being burned from Will-O-Wisp. Close Combat from this set also hits extremely hard, as Adamant Choice Band Heracross reaches the equivalent of 574 Attack. Stone Edge rounds out the set's coverage by hitting Flying-types on the switch.

In contrast with Heracross' wallbreaking potential, Medicham functions as more of a late-game sweeper. After Heracross has successfully broken through opposing counters, Medicham can freely spam its 130 BP STAB Hi Jump Kick off a Pure Power-boosted Attack stat of 438. This set offers good overall coverage, and an important emergency move in Trick. This can be used as a last resort to stop stat boosters, or it can be used on a prediction to cripple an opposing physical wall.

The prevalence of Chansey in UU allows these Fighting types to flourish. However, be aware that this is a purely offensive core, and needs to be backed up by teammates with solid resistances. Once this combo gets going, though, opponents will have a tough time responding to the dual threat.
