Medicham is really good especially in this deck. You just need to practice the matchups. 

you're playing against lightning ? Urshifu vmax 150 damage attack on a Regieleki v max leaves it on 10 hp, medicham v k0 it next turn for 3 prizes letting you set up game win the following turn.

playing against lightning flaafy box? Inteleon vmax ability, one radiant alakazam move and yoga loop lets you k0 mareep 60hp for quick prize, and also can be set up much easier with echoing horn late game from your octillery. Single prize and get another turn to let you k0 a miriadon or raikou v for two more prize cards.

paychic matchup? You don't even need the pings, there are so many damage counters already on the board most of the time, inteleon vmax could ping something, alakazam move and yoga loop knockout anything with 60 hp left.

they placed a manaphy blocking your urshifu v max strategy? Have a second rapid strike inteleon, discard 2 energy from hand, alakazam one of them to the manaphy and then yoga loop it for a total of 80 damage. Heck you can even do this to yoga loop the 80 hp kirlia in psychic matchup. 

Lugia matchup and they have no manaphy and no radiant Tsareena, you boss tyranitar rapid flow the archeops, and tyranitar, for weakness.

following turn you inteleon ping the archeops, drop alakazam move counters and then yoga loop it, following  turn take another prize or two (4 prizes). This also works for the stonejourner 130hp, rapid flow it and then yoga loop.

Mew matchup, harder, 2 drapion does help but so does using stone tablet and making all their Pokémon 100 health then following turn taking 6 prizes off vmax rapid flow. (Drapion v in mew matchup can use the stone attack cost for 0 energy).

Dialga vstar with magnezone deck,radiant greninja is 130 hp, you can rapid flow that and a magnezone or something else then k0 it next turn with yoga loop. Alakazam one damage counter over from greninja to magnezone before greninja gets yoga looped, then inteleon ping the magnezone to take it from 130-150 damage counters for the k0 before you've even yoga looped the greninja. 

giratina vstar and lost box! radiant greninja again easy yoga loop target off a rapid flow. You've also got manaphy which can and/or needs to be yoga looped before you can rapid flow the other benched Pokémon. 

see there is so many ways you can yoga loop in standard format
