I would definitely raise Makuhita. While it has one of the best typings in the game (Dark/Ghost-type has THREE Immunities and ZERO Weaknesses), Sableye has about the same Base stats as the first level of a three-evolution Poke. Even with proper IV/EV training, Sableye has next to nill staying power. A great UU Poke, but nothing more.

Makuhita, on the other hand, evolves into the happy sumo with not only good physical stats, but good HP stats too.

Sableye actually has one weakness. They're weak against Bug types. I'd still raise Makuhita. Sableye has an advantage over the next gym. The only problem is that Dark type attacks are not very effective against Fighting types.

I'd train Makuhita since it's more beneficial in the long run. Hariyama is a very good Fighting type to have (although Machamp and Medicham are better in my opinion). But its better than Sableye.

And no, DarkThunder, Sableye is the only Pokemon in the game to have no weaknesses at all. It's not weak against Bug attacks because Ghost is resistant to Bug and cancels it out. But still Sableye's stats are very crappy and you can get much better ghost types later on, like Dusclops or Banette.

I'd say sableye, because it's so much more awesome o.o;

As Karen says in the E4, Strong and weak are just perceptions ;D Use the cool one XD

That's why we always wipe the floor with Karen's Pokes. LOL

For beating the gym, use Sableye. Brawly won't be able to touch you as, IIRC, his pokes only know Fighting moves.

Overall, Hariyama's significantly better, but is an incredible pain to train. There are better pokes you can get later on, anyway.

Sableye to get past the Gym, but Hariyama in the long run seems to be a better choice.

But if you are upto the challenge, Sableye is the way to go.
