DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

[@orngjce223]

Hariyama is actually _really good_ in Pokemon Go. In PoGo, due to how the gym system works, you are fighting Blisseys constantly. As a result, fighting-type Pokemon with good STAB moves are highly prized. Counter and Dynamic Punch are the highest-damage fast and charged fighting attacks (respectively); and Machamp is the best Pokemon who can use them. However, the Machop evolution line is irritatingly hard to come by in the wild, and often Makuhita is more available. So if you don't have enough Machamps, Hariyama can also be taught Counter and Dynamic Punch and used the same way; it just has slightly lower defense/survivability.

[@autobotstarscream765]

And Hariyama also has high HP, so it should also be a good defender, right?

What moveset did you use on Hariyama?

[@sbcistheboss]

@@justgus48youtubedude70 He has the thick fat ability, his moves are fake out for chip damage, vital throw (everyone in the Battle Frontier has double team), body slam for paralysis and knock off (mostly for Shedinja). Sometimes I have leftovers for him, usually it’s silk scarf for extra damage on fake out. His EV spread is 252 attack, 104 HP, 74 defense, 80 Sp Def with a sassy nature. He’s my back up for soaking up fire and ice attacks for my Metagross and Salamence.

I think Hariyama would've done well in a similar niche to what it had in 2014 and 2017 in VGC 2020. While it would have to compete with Hitmontop and Scrafty again, I think in theory it could use its great movepool like before with the addition of Dynamax making it even harder to one shot and opening up boosting oppurtunities with weakness policy or various max moves.

I can't wait for the remake with Iron Hands!

[@nathan_thorn6906]

Ooh, Hariyama. Time to see a niche fighting type (again)

[@ace-trainer-aj]

I wouldn't mind having Hariyama's ginormic arms, that's for sure

[@LunaTulpa]

Those hands tho? Three fingers and mega deathgrip? Mehhh

[@cintronproductions9430]

If I had those hands, I could be able to fly.
