Hariyama Guide

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

  • In X & Y, 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 X & Y, 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 X & Y, 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.

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.
