Hariyama that are big and fat aren’t necessarily strong. There are some small ones that move nimbly and use moves skillfully.
Ultra Moon
Although they enjoy comparing their strength, they’re also kind. They value etiquette, praising opponents they battle.
Ultra Sun
They love to compare their freakish strength— strength enough to send a truck flying with a single slap.
Moon
It is known for its fantastic strength, but as it grows older, it focuses more on training Makuhita.
Sun
It loves challenging others to tests of strength. It has the power to stop a train with a slap.
HeartGold · SoulSilver
It loves to match power with big-bodied Pokémon. It can knock a truck flying with its arm thrusts.
Diamond · Pearl · Platinum · Black · White · Black 2 · White 2 · Y
It stomps on the ground to build power. It can send a 10-ton truck flying with a straight-arm punch.
FireRed · LeafGreen · X
It has the habit of challenging others without hesitation to tests of strength. It’s been known to stand on train tracks and stop trains using forearm thrusts.
Emerald
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.
Sapphire · Alpha Sapphire
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.
Ruby · Omega Ruby
