You sociopath

Solid taste though

Idk man they are just slimy and gross and almost killed my dog once:

I don't harbor any hatred towards them personally but I am cautious of them.

>Crobat
>Armaldo
Playing through Pokemon as a kid I hated the zubat line, but over the years I took a liking to him, I overused him though so I stopped, but I still love him.
Armaldo is just bro material, generally a good team member in AS.

This guy was a wonder in the Maison. Even after I bred a Machamp and Conkeldurr, I still kept using Hariyama regardless.

Liked the big guy so much I even built a few teams centered around him.

How do you use him?

Hariyama (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- Bullet Punch/Heavy Slam
- Fake Out
- Knock Off/Stone Edge/Ice Punch

This was my basic set-up. Use him as a bulky offensive pivot to switch into special attacks, Ice and Fire in particular.

CC is STAB and is the only real Fighting move option. Fake Out is for chip damage while Bullet Punch is used to revenge kill weak mons or chip their health away a bit before you faint.

Knock Off is Knock Off, nuff said. Stone Edge and Ice Punch are used to take down Flying types, while Ice Punch does massive damage to stuff like Lando and Gliscor. Heavy Slam does massive damage to faires due to Hariyama's sheer weight and their weakness to Steel on the switch-in.

Thick Fat is Hariyama's only real niche over Machamp and Conkeldurr. A Guts set is an option, but you're better off just going with the mons mentioned before.

This is prettty interesting for tanking special attacks. Seems better than machamp.

I like conkeldurr a bit more for iron fist drain punch with bulk up.

Replaying White, this quickly became my favorite regional bird. Super Luck is sweet.

It might be, but Machamp's main claim to fame is No-Guard Dynamic Punch.
He also has higher speed and decent bulk, along with higher attack too.

My advice is to have a Cleric/Wish Passer paired with Hariyama. The guy attracts status like crazy and has no form of recovery, limiting pivot opportunities at times.

I like frogs from real life so frog mons are my bros.

Good thing I run Sylveon for support and switch ins with MAggron. I run Conkedurr with Iron Fist on the same team with Drain Punch/Mach Punch/Ice Punch/Bulk up and leftovers and it works decently well, I use leftovers on Conkel.

I can probably run this Hariyama over Conekel however.

No Guard Machamp was nice when I used it but it hasn't worked out as well as this conkeldurr. I don't particularly like to run guts on bulky attackers.

Wtf thats racist

For me it was Eelektross, while it can be tricky to use, ever since BW with Galvantula I've used both cause they can be both pretty amazing (AV DP, DC, WC, KO anyone?) I never thought I enjoy both of them given how freaky lamprey-leeches and spiders were to me both then but after they really just grew on me. And ironically enough I was able to convince a good friend of mine who had never played 5th gen to play through Omega Ruby with an Eelektross which he loves now as well.

I'm the opposite. Despite me knowing completely Conkeldurr is more reliable, I somehow always manage to push through better at crutch moments with Machamp in the Maison.

M-Swampert, Conkeldurr, Liepard, and Cinccino became my bros in Battle Spot.

I used a Ducklett/Swanna in one playthrough. I was trying to use Pokemon I hadn't used before, and after putting it off for so long, I picked it up. I named him Fucklett because I thought that was hilarious for some reason.

First off, I used him as a switch-in when my Pignite was about to faint. Somehow, this little Fucklett not only survived, but knocked out the enemy Pokemon with Scald the next turn.

After Fucklett evolved, he destroyed everything in his path. Clay, Skyla, Brycen and Drayden all lost at least one Pokemon to him. He tore through most of the NPC trainers. In the final battle against Ghetsis, he was the one to take down Hydreigon.

He was like a real swan: extremely violent and irritable, but protective of his family. Made me appreciate the species a lot more.

I still have him. I changed his name to Ollie because I thought that was cool for some reason.
