Hariyama on Emerald.

[Drowning Faith]

Well I have decided to catch a Hariyama but before I do I wanted to know what stuff to do for it. Here is what I was thinking...

Hariyama
Guts, Adamant
@ Chesto Berry/???
Belly Drum/Endure
Rest/Reversal
Snore/Bulk Up
Dynamic Punch

I know I suck at these, lol.

[Drowning Faith]

Oh thanks! That helps ^-^... Hmmm, I was thinking,

Belly Drum
Rest
Counter
Dynamic Punch.... does that sound any good. Oh and if people say about all the special training can you please explain it to me so I can understand because it confuses me =P

Hariyama@leftovers
Ability: Guts
Knock Off
Focus Punch / Cross Chop
Substitute
Hidden Power Ghost / Rock Slide
EVs: 220 HP, 220 Spcl.Def, 70 Atk

You can't go too wrong with that set.

Well, Hariyama's attack stat is better than it's defense stat, so there's no really need for Counter. Belly Drum can work, but remember that, if the opponent can do 50%+ damage to your Hariyama, then it will faint. You should rather give it Leftovers and try out the following moveset instead:
Knock Off, Focus Punch, Substitute, Rock Slide/Earthquake.
Knock Off gets rid of those annoying Shedinjas and also knocks off the opponent pokemon's hold item. Focus Punch works if the opponent can't faint Hariyama's substitute in time. Rock Slide can cover his Flying weakness, but Earthquake has more attack power and accuracy.
Btw, what kind of special training are you talking about? Are you reffering to the EV training?

 

[Drowning Faith]

*nods* yeah EV Training, I got this lil thingy from person up there and I kinda get it.... KINDA... lol but yeah.. where do I train in emerald? oh and can you get substitute in emerald?

 

[Alter Ego]

Substitute is available from a move tutor on top of the Lily Cove department store, as for the EV training, it depends on what stats you want to develop, most spots are pretty random (Lots of different EVs mingling about) so if you really want to hone one of them to an extreme you'd probably end up escaping or switching a lot. I don't have the patience for that myself.

 

[Drowning Faith]

Ok, cheers. Perfect... I am still searching for one with Adamant nature! Hehe, is there any other nature?

 

[Alter Ego]

Jolly (-sp. attack, +speed) could be another alternative.

 

[Drowning Faith]

OOh.. awesome! I think thats the nature of the one I caught before posting... yay

Jolly (-sp. attack, +speed) could be another alternative.

Why would you tell him to catch a Jolly Hariyama when:
1. He's using focus punch with it
2. Hariyama doesn't have any speed to speak of
?
WHY ARE YOU SWINDLING THE COMMON PUBLIC!

So, in conclusion, Adamant is the nature you want your Hariyama to have. Also, try catching a Adamant Ditto and using it to breed w/ Everstone...

The Knock/RS-EQ/FP/Sub set is probably your best bet for Hariyama, if you don't want to give it Whirlwind and make it a pseudo-hazer.

I clearly stated what the nature does so I hardly see how that is swindling. Besides, if you give Hariyama Reversal (one of the suggestions) speed is crucial for its survival. Also, with a Jolly nature Hariyama would be faster than all of the regis which, might I add, are all used by the Pyramid King in the Battle Frontier. And incidentally, I never *told* him to catch a Jolly one. I simply said that Jolly is one (Not necessarily the best) of the natures that would be beneficial since it penalizes Sp. Attack.
