Verdict

Collector's Pick
Hariyama is a Fighting-type Pokemon with base stats of 209/114/302 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 3,198. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Hariyama may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Hariyama deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Hariyama in Pokemon GO?
Hariyama has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Hariyama for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Hariyama's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Hariyama is weak to Fairy, Flying, Psychic-type moves. On the other hand, Hariyama resists Bug, Dark, Rock-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Hariyama effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Hariyama's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Hariyama's maximum CP is 3,198 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,829 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Hariyama's CP is calculated from its base stats: 209 Attack, 114 Defense, and 302 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Hariyama caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,616 CP, or 2,020 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Hariyama?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Hariyama has the following CP at key levels: 1,212 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,616 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 2,020 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 3,198 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Hariyama, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Hariyama ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
Is Shadow Hariyama better than regular?
Shadow Hariyama deals 20% more damage than its regular counterpart but also takes 20% more damage. For raids, Shadow Hariyama is generally better due to the higher DPS output. For PvP, it depends on the matchup — the extra damage taken can be a significant drawback in extended battles where survivability matters. Shadow Hariyama comes with Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM before powering up.
How to get Hariyama in Pokemon GO?
Hariyama is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Makuhita with 50 Candy). Hariyama can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Hariyama be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Hariyama's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Hariyama availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
