Brawly's Hariyama: Difference between revisions

[[File:Brawly Makuhita.png|left|thumb|220px|As a Makuhita]]

Hariyama was first seen in ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]'', as a {{p|Makuhita}}, where it was surfing with Brawly, something they are both interested in. While they were surfing, Makuhita lost its footing and fell over but recovered quickly when they got back to shore. When {{TRT}} arrived to catch {{AP|Pikachu}}, Makuhita swam very quickly on its surfboard and caught up to Team Rocket, tackling them and rescuing Pikachu in the process.

During the Gym battle against Ash, Brawly sent it out after his {{p|Machop}} got defeated under the hands of [[Ash's Treecko]]. In the first part of their battle, Makuhita rolled over sideways every time it got hit by an attack, similar to what Machop did when battling [[Ash's Taillow]]. Makuhita's strength in power and skill caused it to hold off Treecko's excessive {{m|Pound}} attacks, gaining the upper hand. Makuhita evolved into Hariyama when Treecko got up after it was hit by {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Treecko was no match for Hariyama as its Pound attack was rendered useless. With the massive power boost Hariyama gained via evolution, Hariyama finished Treecko off easily with a powerful {{m|Knock Off}}, thus defeating {{Ash}}. After the battle, it was then surfing again with Brawly. Hariyama was able to improve its footing skills when it evolved.

During Ash's rematch against Brawly in ''[[AG031|Just One of the Geysers]]'', Brawly sent out Hariyama to handle {{AP|Corphish}} after the latter defeated Machop. Hariyama immediately attacked with Arm Thrust. Ash had his Corphish use {{m|Harden}} to take in the blows Hariyama was delivering in order for Hariyama to get tired. However, Hariyama was able to keep going despite all that. Next, Corphish dived underwater to surprise Hariyama with {{m|Crabhammer}} which worked. In the end, Hariyama took out Corphish with Seismic Toss, leaving Ash with Treecko. Unlike last time, Treecko used Pound on Hariyama's legs instead of Hariyama itself since the footing is usually Hariyama's weakness. After Hariyama got hit with more Pound attacks on its legs, it was not able to hit Treecko with {{m|Vital Throw}}. With both Pokémon getting tired, Treecko was able to finish off Hariyama during the final part of the battle with Treecko and Hariyama using Pound and Knock Off respectively, winning Ash the {{Badge|Knuckle}}.
