0 Sheep Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Heracross is better for 11 in every 10 situations. Faster, hits harder, dual STAB, has appropriately sized hands. You can find it in the South Aventurine woods once you have 7 badges, by clearing a whole bunch of webs and logs then riding a Tauros through.

This totes ain't biased, XD but yeah, Heracross is waaaaaaaaay better. But Hariyama has the bulk needed to take some hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ShatteredSkys Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 You can't go wrong with moxie heracross well until you start missing all your megahorns at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Lost Lore Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Heracross is better for 11 in every 10 situations. Faster, hits harder, dual STAB, has appropriately sized hands. You can find it in the South Aventurine woods once you have 7 badges, by clearing a whole bunch of webs and logs then riding a Tauros through. Shots fired. Honestly, if you're looking for something bulky, wait for Timburr. If you want full-on offensive, go with Heracross, yeah. I'm dubious about Hariyama's ability to hold up effectively later in the game. (Maybe against Noel, but otherwise? Nah.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Deleted User Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I'd take Hariyama > Heracross against a fire type. Thick Fat, or Bug weakness to fire, but that said, as a whole it's Heracross all day everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dei Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Out of those two? Heracross. The difference between those two is one you can get early on (Hariyama), while the other is obtained later on and is more difficult to obtain). But I'd prefer Machamp because of No Guard + Dynamic Punch. Timburr is really great...if you can figure out how to solve that puzzle. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 squirmey Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 i think heracross is better better attack speed and move pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tomas Elliot Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Well to be honest it is not true Heracross is better than Hariyama in terms of movepool: I mean yes, Heracross has more choices, but Hariyama has everything it needs, nothing more, nothing less. Early on it is invaluable against Cradily, later on its ability makes it great to take on the dreaded Ice and Fire gyms. Plus it has better bulk. So yeah, maybe Hariyama is not OU material, but does that really matter in-game? Don't look down on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TheBroShow Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Also Hariyama gets fake out which is awesome against sashes and sturdy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tomas Elliot Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Also Hariyama gets fake out which is awesome against sashes and sturdy That's exactly what I meant: the only 4 viable moves Hariyama gets are Bulk Up, Fake Out, Vital Throw (and later Close Combat) and a Rock-type filler for coverage (Stone Edge? Not sure it's in the game tho). However, to make itself useful in-game, that's all it needs! Edited December 6, 2014 by Tomas Elliot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 NickCrash Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I thought he also gets Heavy slam after Close Combat. Sadly we don't have Rock moves available as TMs, so Knock off gets a chance there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Put simply, if you want offensive, Go Heracross. If defensive, Hariyama. Btw, Hariyama learns Smack Down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly we don't have Rock moves available as TMs, so Knock off gets a chance there. Oh yeah, Knock Off. Reborn already implements all Gen 6 mechanics, so Knock Off is actually pretty good, and IIRC Hariyama learns it naturally... Except most non-gym leader enemies you'll be facing won't be carrying any items on their mons, but oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TheBackwardsLegsMan Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Except most non-gym leader enemies you'll be facing won't be carrying any items on their mons, but oh well... True, but you really don't need a solid move pool to handle random trainers. I personally prefer Heracross, because I like pokemon that do one thing extremely well as opposed to one thing pretty well and another okay. Yeah, Hariyama is bukier, but he isn't bulky enough to serve as a tank, and it costs him speed, which makes him a sub-par as a sweeper. He definitely has his uses, but by the late game he's still going to get outsped and one shotted by any sweeper with a psychic or flying move. He's a life saver against super tanky pokemon that your sweepers can't one shot, but I just find it is more useful more often to have a pokemon that can one shot non-tanks and still chunk those super tanks down to red HP. All that being said, it really depends on what the rest of your team looks like. Generally, I think Heracross is better, but if you have nothing bulky in your team, Hariyama might be better.
