    General:

    + Has an awesome ability that doubles its average attack stat in Pure Power.
    + A large physical moveset that fits well with its cool ability.
    - A below average Speed stat which leaves it revenge killed easily by some faster Pokémon.

    Eviolite

    Meditite (F) @ Eviolite
    Level: 5
    Trait: Pure Power
    EVs: 116 HP / 196 Atk / 196 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Fake Out
    - Bullet Punch / Poison Jab / Thunderpunch
    - Drain Punch / High Jump Kick
    - Psycho Cut / Zen Headbutt

    -Fake Out and Bullet Punch are two cool priority moves
    -Drain Punch is really useful since it's a cool move that recovers Meditite's health back, High Jump Kick can be used but Drain Punch is a better option.
    -Psycho Cut is the Psychic STAB move, Zen Headbutt can be used since it has more power but less accuracy.
    -Poison Jab and Thunderpunch can work as cool coverage especially since Bullet Punch isn't as useful as it used to be because Swirlix got banned.
    -A bulkier set can be used with Defense EVs instead of Speed EVs.

    Life Orb

    Meditite (F) @ Life Orb
    Trait: Pure Power
    EVs: 196 Atk / 76 Def / 196 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Fake Out
    - Bullet Punch / Poison Jab / Thunderpunch
    - High Jump Kick / Drain Punch
    - Psycho Cut / Zen Headbutt

    -Meditite hits like a truck with a Life Orb in exchange of bulk.
    -Fake Out and Bullet Punch are again the priority moves.
    -In this set High Jump Kick is the main move that can hit any Pokémon that doesn't resist Fighting really hard, Drain Punch can be used to heal Meditite back but High Jump Kick is better on a Life Orb set.
    -Psycho Cut is, again, the Psychic STAB move, Zen Headbutt can be used since it has more power but less accuracy.
    -Poison Jab and Thunderpunch can work as cool coverage especially since Bullet Punch isn't as useful as it used to be because Swirlix got banned.

    Choice Scarf

    Meditite (F) @ Choice Scarf
    Trait: Pure Power
    EVs: 40 HP / 196 Atk / 76 Def / 196 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - High Jump Kick
    - Psycho Cut
    - Thunder Punch / Poison Jab
    - Trick

    - A magnificent Attack accompanied with high Speed is really cool.
    - High Jump Kick is the main move that Meditite uses, with it Meditite hits hard and fast.
    - Psycho Cut or Zen Headbutt are more reliable STAB.
    - Thunder Punch hits Vullaby and Slowpoke, Poison Jab hits Fairy Pokémon like Spritzee.
    - Trick cripples defensive walls.

    Other options:

    -Poison Jab and Thunder Punch can be used on Life Orb and Eviolite sets.
    -Fire Punch hits Honedge.
    -Baton Pass can be used to keep momentum when expecting a switch and to escape Wynaut's Shadow Tag.
    -Bulk Up.
    -Rock Slide deals with Larvesta.
    -Recover is a usable move but it's not the best one since Drain Punch is always a better option.
    -Berry Juice with Substitute and Drain Punch set.

    Checks and Counters:

    -Flying Pokémon like Murkrow and Fletchling.
    -Ghost Pokémon like Misdreavus and Honedge.
    -Fairy Pokémon like Intimidate Snubull and Spritzee.
    -Psychic Pokémon in Slowpoke and Wynaut.
    -Ponyta and Larvesta with Flame Body, and Intimidate Growlithe.

    Ponyta should be C+C since when it comes in on meditite it WILL get burned either by WoW or flame body.

    Rock slide is a pretty cool option to screw over flying types, pony, lavesta, growlithe and (although never seen a pretty damn good check) shelmet.

    Recover and acupressure are both pretty terrible but could use a mention in OO. Idk use it as you will.

    That's all I got as of now :v

    Thunder punch really deserves a slash on the evio and LO sets over fake out. I'd even go so far as to say it deserves first slash on the LO set

    Otherwise imma Approve

    Mention a bulkier spread (Moving those speed evs to def) in comments or oo. Mention how Bullet Punch is not that useful with Swirlix no longer allowed. Maybe slash TPunch or Jab alongside Bullet Punch on both LO and Evio sets? Mention teammates that can beat ghost types, especially for scarfed versions that like to spam HJK. Mons like Pawniard and Stunky can trap Missy. They can also take on Fairies like Snubbull and Spritzee. When you talk about Baton Pass mention how you can escape Wynaut. Mention Rock types like Tirtouga and Archen as teammates to help beat Flying mons. Add those and I'll Approve.
