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.
It is known for its fantastic strength, but as it grows older, it focuses more on training Makuhita.
They love to compare their freakish strength— strength enough to send a truck flying with a single slap.
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 Sun & Moon, 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 Sun & Moon, 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 Sun & Moon, 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 Sun & Moon, run Fakeout, Knock Off, Wideguard, and Close Combat on Hariyama. Fakeout is the most common pick at 23% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
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.
