HariyamaDelta Species #44 Pokémon Card

Hariyama is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III, evolving from Makuhita starting at level 24. Known for its sumo-wrestler physique and powerful open-palm strikes, Hariyama is often depicted as a gentle giant that trains rigorously to perfect its techniques. Its massive arms are capable of delivering blows strong enough to send a 10-ton truck flying, yet it uses its strength to protect smaller Pokémon. Hariyama typically inhabits mountainous regions and dojos, where it can be found honing its skills and challenging opponents to friendly bouts. In the anime, it has been featured in various roles, often showcasing its incredible power and disciplined nature. Its design is clearly inspired by traditional Japanese sumo wrestlers, embodying perseverance, strength, and a strong sense of honor. As a Fighting-type, Hariyama is strong against Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark, and Steel types, but vulnerable to Flying, Psychic, and Fairy types. Its role in the games often involves being a bulky physical attacker with high HP and Attack stats, making it a formidable presence in battles.
