Hariyama Guide
In Scarlet & Violet, 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. Knock Off with Flame Orb is the standard set.
In Scarlet & Violet, 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 Scarlet & Violet, 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 Scarlet & Violet, 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.
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.
