Stats & Training
Hariyama's spread is anchored by HP, with balanced defenses backing it up. Sp. Atk is the clear weak point. Worth 2 HP EVs per KO, and the standard growth curve keeps leveling painless.
Hariyama practices its straight-arm slaps in any number of locations. One hit of this Pokémon’s powerful, openhanded, straight-arm punches could snap a telephone pole in two.
Hariyama’s thick body may appear fat, but it is actually a hunk of solid muscle. If this Pokémon bears down and tightens all its muscles, its body becomes as hard as a rock.
Hariyama Weakness
Flying, Psychic, and Fairy moves hit Hariyama for super-effective damage. Thick Fat reduces Fire/Ice damage, further improving the defensive spread. With 144 HP and balanced defenses, Hariyama can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Hariyama Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 C-Tier as a wallbreaker. Fakeout with Flame Orb is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Fakeout, Close Combat, Heavyslam, and Firepunch on Hariyama. Fakeout is the most common pick at 24% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
