Hariyama

Hariyama makes for a respectable tank thanks to its elephantine HP and access to Thick Fat, making it an ideal switch-in against Pokemon like Salazzle, Ninetales, and Mega Blastoise. Hariyama's Attack is also quite respectable, and it has the right coverage to hit everything in the tier for at least neutral damage, which makes switching into it difficult. However, Machamp is a major competitor for the same role, since it can act as a status absorber with Guts to boost its offensive potential. However, Hariyama has useful resistances thanks to Thick Fat and its slightly better special bulk. Hariyama is also worn down quickly by entry hazards, status, and repeatedly switching into resisted attacks thanks to its lack of reliable recovery. It is also slow and easily revenge killed by faster wallbreakers such as Bewear, Necrozma, and Noivern.
