Knock Off is the main STAB option after a Bulk Up boost. Flame Orb gives Hariyama self-burn for Guts activation to survive the setup turn, and flexible EVs make the boosted hits count. The remaining moves catches resists.

    or evolve from Makuhita (Step 1)

  • Don't let Hariyama's 474 base stat total fool you. Sheer Force is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it B-Tier as a wallbreaker.

  • Watch for Dodrio (Flying), Espeon (Psychic), and Gardevoir (Fairy) when using Hariyama. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB.

  • Run Sheer Force on Hariyama. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Hariyama also gets Thick Fat and Guts, but they don't compare.

  • Hariyama fills the wallbreaker role. It's a physical attacker with base 120 Attack. Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

  • Hariyama's hidden ability is Sheer Force. Strengthens moves with extra effects to 1.3× their power, but prevents their extra effects. Better than the standard options for competitive play.

Hariyama first appeared in Ruby & Sapphire and has been available in 14 games across 8 generations. Obtainable through wild encounters in most titles where it appears.
