In-Depth Analysis

With a base stat total of 474, Hariyama plays as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Its standout stat is HP at 144, while Special Attack (40) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.

Defensively, the Fighting combination gives Hariyama 3 resistances and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.

With a catch rate of 200, Hariyama is comparatively easy to catch in the wild. It levels on the Fast Then Very Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants HP +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
