Hariyama Diamond & Pearl Guide
In Diamond & Pearl, 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. Close Combat with Toxic Orb is the standard set.
In Diamond & Pearl, Run Thick Fat 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 Guts, but they don't compare.
In Diamond & Pearl, 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 Diamond & Pearl, run Close Combat, Payback, Icepunch, and Fakeout on Hariyama. Close Combat is the most common pick at 0% 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.
