Strategy Overview
Hariyama finds a place for itself in RU with good 144 / 60 / 60 bulk and Thick Fat, which allows it to reliably check threats such as Sneasel and Houndoom that can otherwise be troublesome for offensive teams. It also has a good offensive typing as well as decent coverage with moves such as Knock Off and Heavy Slam. However, Hariyama has a poor base 50 Speed meaning that it will usually have to take a hit before it can attack. On top of that, it has competition from other Fighting-types in the tier such as Emboar. It also has no way to regain health without Drain Punch, so it needs Wish support to repeatedly switch into the Pokemon it wants to, making it very prone to being worn down. Lastly, its main STAB attack, Close Combat, lowers its important defensive stats.
