Hariyama is known as the Arm Thrust Pokemon. It is incredibly bulky in battle with 140 base HP and 120 base Attack, which sets it up for some great opportunities. It can take some hits and then dish them back out with immense power.

Its muscles and body become as hard as stone when it tenses up. Hariyama stomps the ground, like a sumo wrestler, to gather power. From there, it can throw slaps that send trucks, telephone poles, and of course, other Pokemon flying.
