02:02 What is Hariyama?
08:19 Etymology of Hariyama and Makuhita
09:12 Makuhita Explained
Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out! - Ігри
What Pokemon is next? (Other than Kleavor)
IDK, what do you think we should look into?
Drapion and why it isn’t a bug
How does Joe work?
Rhyperior. Specifically Rhyperior.
Medicham
Maractus
Hariyama's "clothing" never bothered me because it actually does look like part of its body. Unlike Sawk and Throh. Also Hitmonchan. Machoke and Machamp are toeing the line
I think sawk and throh canonically make the clothes they wear
Seems they only weave their belts according to the Dex
Most clothing mon only have clothing because Pokemon isn't adult oriented. You really want the Mas running around without their glorified underwear? Or the Gothitelle line without their frilly, clearly-not-part-of-them dresses?
@@apenguininthemist855 near as I can tell, Machoke and Machamp are not wearing briefs; that's just a skin pattern though the belts might be an exception. If Gothitelle is anything like Jynx, those ARE just skin flaps (or hair or other growths)
Is it just me or does it look like Hitmonchan is wearing a dress?
There might also be another connection to Buddhism in Hariyama's name: In Buddhist hell, there is said to be a mountain of needles, which, in Japanese, is called Hari no Yama
Casually not mentioning that "brine" for a fighter would just be extra salty sweat
I have memories of my dad catching a Makuhita in Colloseum and when it evolved into Hariyama he named it "Big Daddy". I always named Hariyama that from then on.
When I was younger, I used to think Hariyama's torso was his chin.
Same. And that it's "mouth" opened up like Sukamon's...
@@Gnoggin lol
@@Gnoggin like a titan lol
I can't unsee it.
I just can't see it myself
When the level cap was 40 in Pokemon Go, I saved getting the last few XP for level 40 for evolving my perfect Makuhita traded to me by my brother. I have since gotten another perfect Makuhita (also traded to me by my brother, unbelievably) and plan to save it for the last XP I'll need to hit level 50.
your brother is a natural born Fightng type trainer lmao
Why
I dont like Machamp so I plan to lvl up all my Hariyamas to 50
That Sumo noise, that was used several times, immediately brought me back to Ed, Edd n' Eddy nostalgia😂
I love your rasta jolly roger
I was looking to see if anyone commented this, I thought the same thing when I heard it. Lol.
@@joj5150 Thank you😀 I drew it back in high school when I still had dread locks. Tatsu-sama, Captain of The Dread Pirates😂
@@tatsusama3192 hehe I gotta come up with my own pirate group, can't believe I've never thought to do that before!
“Brine was previously only learned by water types before hariyama”
Mew and Lugia: imma pretend I didn’t see that
Mew doesn't count and Lugia is basically a water-type anyway
Lugia was originally supposed to be water/physic type but then they made him flying/physic type and made him able to learn many water type moves
@Deso Lark considering that brine was introduced in gen 4, no. Unless you’re talking about lugia and mew learning water moves in general. Then yes. Mew can learn all TM moves and Lugia is pretty much a pseudo water type. Not sure why they didnt make it water in the first place.
@@seamusaparicio3564 Yeah, Lugia is supposed to be Ho-Oh's opposite, so it should have been water-type. But it's also meant to be its equal, so I guess the devs didn't want it to have an advantage over Ho-Oh? But Lugia still has an advantage since it still learns so many water-type moves, so they didn't do a good job if that was the intention. The other thing I can think of is that they didn't want to make it weak to all of of the legendary birds (it's already weak to two by virtue of its flying-type alone) since Lugia is supposed to be their trio master and it wouldn't be realistic if all the birds were strong against it...
@@seamusaparicio3564 I remember that in an interview they said that they had to choose between water, flying and physic type. Physic type was really powerfull in gen2 so they HAD to give it to a legendary . then they thought that it would be wrong and weird for lugia to be hit by ground type moves so they gave him the flying typing
I always thought hariyama learned whirlwind by clapping his hands so hard they made a powerful wind, ans brine was his sweat-
I always think of Hariyama as a pretty decently-designed sumo wrestler Pokémon, but upon using it, its defense really stink. 144 HP is phenomenal but 60 in both physical and special defense kinda detriments the use of that HP. I’ve had success with its very versatile movepool, great attack, and all three of its abilities, but it definitely could be a bit better
I think the idea is that they have a ton of HP because they can take a ton of hits, but low defense cause they don't try to defend it as much
@@eldritch_whispers1654 fair point actually, that does make a lot a sense
I mean sumo wrestlers are tough but matches last for such a short amount of time. So while he can take a few hits like all wrestlers their backs hit the dirt at some point.
I used to use one competitively and yeah it could use a regional variant or something.
It’s not THAT bad defensively, actually. Yeah, the low defenses _are_ annoying, but doing some rough math, it’s comparable to 100/80/80 defenses.
You know I would love to see a video going into moves Pokémon learn for thematic reasons. I think it would be pretty interesting
Me: "Ohhhhh...So that's why it knows-
Lockstin: "Brine!"
Me: "Smellingsalt!.....wait wut!?"
I thought the same thing
Smelling Salt specifically refers to the use of smelling salts to wake up dazed fighters in the ring. Smelling salts and purification salts aren't the same thing.
same thought bro
Hariyama is one of my favourite pokemon! Up there with Machoke, Chimecho, Tropius, and Ludicolo. I love the idea of some steel-hard hunk of muscle that can total a garbage truck. Plus, I like the colour scheme.
Hariyama is my overall fav mon so yea
good choice
I really like videos like this, gives me more apppreciation for Pokémon I’d otherwise not think twice about. Hope we get a lot more of these. 😎👍
Number 11 Big eye!
Nice Yugioh pfp mate
Thanks guys, for both the comments and the likes, like WOW that’s a lot of LIKES. 😎👍
@@zachherskovitz6162 that's what happens when you use one overlay unit from big eye
@@zking2929 that’s what happens where Kaito is on his way >:)
Makuhita was my first shiny that I actually *caught,* (looking at you, abra) besides the guaranteed gyarados in Gold. So I've always had a bit of a soft spot for it.
Not to mention, to this day, I find it so interesting that playing through both Ruby and Sapphire, I encountered a shiny in the same general area on both games (the other being where I encountered that abra that got away).
My first shiny was a Hariyama! ^^
My tofrug came, then I got this like half an hour later! He’s adorable!
I got mine today too!
Got mine a little while ago too! Love the little guy!
Mine is on the way. I cant wait!
theyre so sweet and cuddly :))
@@_somuchstardust_ and very soft
"It's another odd move for this Fighting type that looks like it could push a car through a hose but can't dunk a ball in a breadbasket. I don't even know what I just said."
Please don't change, please.
Hariyama is one of my favourite Hoenn Pokémon. Thanks for covering it.
Gotta love tangential history lessons when just wanting to learn more about your favourite or least understood Pokémon so you understand them more. Kudos. This gnoggin has been lernd
Hariyama is my fav pokémon!! So glad to see a video about him 🥰
Same lol
Same with you in
I was looking for this comment. Not that Hariyama is anywhere near my favorite, I just realized after watching the video that ive never seen anyone call it their favorite Mon in my whole life lol. I do like Hariyama well enough though.
Sameeee finally someone that loves Hariyama as much as I do
I dont understand people who dont like human-like pokémon such as these. My first playthrough of Colosseum i caught the Makuhita early and not only developed an appreciation for it & its big strong evolution but also i grew to like the fighting type as a whole because of it.
I really like hariyama, used it on several playthroughs
Me too, I always thought it was a decent fighting type.
I've actually developed some appreciation for Hariyama kinda recently, it's one of my strongest 'mons in pokemon go
Hariyama is my favorite fighting type, thanks to the Japanese series Hinamaru Sumo I have seen sumo in a whole new light and made me realize just how awesome hariyama is.
Video: "Hariyama is a pokemon"
Me: and proffeser oak is a human
Maybe
And that is okay!
And Mr. Mime is Ash father
In theory
Prove it.
Well that was really cool, happy to see someone talk about Hariyama, me and my mom have like Hariyama as a Pokemon for as long as i can remember
“The crime is a salt.”
Me: Ight, imma head out.
My personal little head canon when thinking about Pokemon wearing clothes is that the clothes are not biological or that they're found in the wild, but that humans dress up their Pokemon in clothing because many of the humanoid shaped fighting type Pokemon are so close to human anatomy that they look a bit on the naked and inappropriate side when in human captivity. Further, many of these clothes might be culturally associated with a certain Pokemon, so in the same way that a little Scottish terrier is put into a tartan coat when going for a walk, a Throh is always in a white judo outfit, or a Hariyama into a sumo wear .
that doesn't explain why wild pokemon wear them though.
Or it could maybe be the other way around, the Pokemon were first to wear a certain kind of "clothing" and then it was adopted by humans. Maybe wild Sawk and Throh wore garbs and held them up with belts and later martial artists began doing the same
@@IndigoEuphonium that still begs the question of where they got them from.
@@3eve0n Because it's a kids game, or do you think a Machoke should have a human shlong swinging about. lol
@@robertgronewold3326 ...or there could just be nothing there. Y'know, like all the pokemon that don't wear clothes.
I knew Hariyama learned whirlwind
And i just imagine it waving its big hands and blowing you away
Well you deinitely never found a shiny one in Hoenn victory road *shudders*
Hariyama was my first ever shiny and I was kind of bummed that it wasn't a cooler pokemon. This video made me appreciate it more now :)
I’ve been going through and watching old Pokémon videos I missed, good to see a new one out.
Hey Lockstin, I would like to see you make a video on all of the deserts found in each region. for example, the poffins in sinnoh, malasadas in alola, I think it'd be pretty cool to find out why they have those as their main desert and what each desert is supposed to represent from the real world. just a thought that came up in my head
i always loved hariyama! and it was never like the other clothing pokemon! his frills and such could be natural but machamp briefs and others aren't the same! he was super cool!
Both Makuhita and Hariyama always hold a special place in my heart.
I legit LOVE all that I learn from your videos! By far one of my favorite UA-camrs of all time! Thanks for sharing your research and info!
These videos always give me a newfound appreciation for pokemon I either didn’t like all that much or just simply didn’t think were that interresting.
I've always had this sort of admiration and affection for Fighting-Types, Hariyama in particular. I love the description of how Makuhita gets stronger by eating a lot, sleeping a lot, and training a lot. No frills, no special power, just getting knocked down and knocked down and knocked down but always getting back up stronger than before. Plus I like the way Hariyama is so tanky compared to the usual fast, hard-hitting Pokémon that get Fighting Typing. I like that it doesn't have particularly high Defense or Special Defense, but a ton of HP. It makes me think that Hariyama is just so tough and full of vitality that it muscles through without any natural armor or mysterious powers.
Please turn this “and that is OK” into a series
I have grown to love Hariyama as an adult after using it in a few Nuzlockes to the point of it becoming one of my favorite Pokémon, and learning all these fun and interesting facts about it just makes me love it even more.
I enjoy these deep dives into specific pokemon. Fascinating.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about Smelling Salts, Hariyama's signature move. It literally fits the whole theme with using the salts that were toss into the arena and it being a slapping move. Although, it was removed in Gen 8 which is probably why Hariyama got Brine to replicate the move (for similar reasons to Zubat learning Absorb in Gen 7 since Leech Life was buffed to 80 BP).
I know this comment is 2 years old but arm thrust is basically a signature move, the only other obtainable pokemon that get it are pawmot and heracross
I was today years old when I realized the orange spot wasn't Hariyamas nose.
Glad I wasn't the only one who saw it that way
Always assumed Hariyama got it's name from Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. Figued that was why Makuhita looked like Buu...
Incredible channel this is one of my favorite Mons can't wait for another breakdown!
Vid idea, break down the scientist in Pokemon ranger that loves the "stench" of poison mons??
I love when this dude makes metal references, like now he made a reference to down with the sickness by disturbed and in an earlier video he made a reference to chop suey by system of a down.
As a person who's 3rd favorite type is Fighting, Hariyama is one of my favorite fighting types
Literally my favorite fighting type pokemon. Glad to see a video on it!
He's genuinely by far my favourite pokemon I was so shocked when I saw this in my subbox lmao
This reminds of those episodes they used to do on The Dex I miss them so much
This is one of my favorite Pokémon. Thanks for doing a video about it.
I am loving the subtle cameos from Max!!
Having just finished another playthrough of Warioland 4, I just wanted to say I appreciate the Wario sound bites used in this video :D
One drop in the bucket for a video on the lore and implications of every single pokemon
I've always really liked both of these Pokemon. I have a weird obsession with Majin Buu, so when Gen 3 came out, I instantly liked Makuhita. While I was a little disappointed that he didn't retain some of his more Buu-ish features when he evolved, by that point, I felt invested in him enough that I still had a great deal of fondness for Hariyama.
I can always count on you for a mild to in depth history lesson along with pokemon facts....thank you
Tofrug arrived and you do an episode on one of my favorite pokemon? A very good day indeed.
I got my Tofrug plushie today and I love it thank you so much for making it and it also two days after my birthday which was on September 26 and therefore want to say thank you so much for the plushie I hope you grow bigger and your career brings you far in life
Love the video on Hariyama! One of my favorite fighting types ever
I've always loved Hariyama ever since the episode of the anime where Ash's Snorlax fought a Battle Frontier Leader's Hariyama. Very happy to see it get the Gnoggin treatment. :)
Hariyama is actually one of my favorite fighting type mons, if not my favorite. Something about it and sumo wrestlers in general always intrigued me, and after USUM, where I used it extensively for the first time I've come to really enjoy it.
I hope the video on fighting Pokemon is one step closer to a theory of some look at Falinks because I still have a lot of questions on that (or should I say those) thing(s)
You should talk about the Machop line next. Is it just supposed to be big strongman with weird bone hair thingies?
Austin, I have a theory you may be interested in. Based on the new Legends: Arceus trailer, we have to take on and subdue "noble" pokemon. Considering that the game is based in the Meiji period most likely, during political reform, I don't think Arceus is a god - but he is a lord, representing the Shogun. Especially with an expedionary company involved, like the United States arms companies, the goal of the game looks to be to take out the nobles and topple the Shogunate, just like the Meiji period. In pokemon fashion.
Thought it would be worth looking into.
Man I love tangentially learning through the lens of video games, specifically Pokémon.
This is so cool! I love learning this stuff
You should do one contemplating on different pokemon appearances & thru evolution they look the way the do because overtime they wanted to be closer & mimic people. Like kubfu,lopunny,or hariyama for a few examples & what they could of looked like before & how culture/humans changed them. And a theory are pokemon getting closer to speaking or becoming more human like?
I've always kinda thought there was a Maori warrior influence. The yellow skirt thing looks a lot like a dry grass skirt. They were originally found in Hoenn which is the 'tropical' region and is kinda seen as a parallel to Hawaii, before the Alola region.
coverage on one of my faves i love it!
so much inspiration, now I regret not using it more often in the Gen 3 games
Hariyama has been my favorite Pokémon since it’s debut. This video was extra cool for me.
I just started an emerald play through and are using them for the first time, and so far love them
thanks for making a video about my favorite pokemon :D
5:09 Ahh, Infinity Blade… One of the only Mobile game series I genuinely enjoyed.
Awe so the little one is really a fighting baby like hariyama.... sooo cute!!! 😊😊😊😊
As a kid playing RSE, I never could wrap my head around the way hariyama looks. Even after watching a ten minute video on it, I still can’t wrap my head around why they made it look like that
Fantastic video. I don't even like Hariyama that much, but I think I appreciate it a little more knowing how much went into its design.
Hariyama is the perfect hugging shape I love it
I always never knew what a Hariyama was as in I don’t understand what Hariyama is supposed to reference and now I’m about to learn more about a Pokémon I know nothing about thanks lockstin I hope to see more interesting content in the future.
Bought the headphones. Actually pretty much exactly what ive been looking for last couple weeks. Didnt want to cheap out but didn't want to spend hundreds. Now you helped me do both, thank you.
I want that hariyama plushie. Update: 5 months later, i finally got it, its tiny, but adorable.
I'm surprised the hands being similar to those hand pads boxing trainers wear wasn't brought up during the whole "Hariyama train Makuhita" section.
The title and intro to this video are life giving 😂
I really appreciate the return of Maxwell cameos
0:55 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!
I always interpreted the yellow flaps on Hariyama as the remains of Makuhita's sack, where Makuhita would evolve by gaining the strength needed to flex and rip the sack to shreds.
I like Hariyama. In Pokemon Emerald they where my strongest at lvl 100 for Fighting Type (not counting Blaziken). Also a Makuhita I found and evolved was my second Random Shiny ever.
Congrats on 1 million subscribers!
Gotta love gnoggin, we get a history lesson, etymological breakdown and Pokémon explanation. 🖖🏾✨
Wonder if the tied sack hairstyle is a reference to Hotei (Fat buddha, i.e Budai), named for the cloth sack he always had with him?
This is how you can make any Pokemon interesting to anyone.
Pretty amazing inspirations.
It's why I appreciate Bronzong so much more.
So like we gonna talk about the 1m??? Congrats bro!
Honestly I've always considered Hariyama inapiration to be more like some sort of Polynesian War Dancer than sumo wrestler.
It’s confirmed to be inspired off a sumo wrestler though
The line at 4:29 was so good it actually got me to like and subscribe
That's good writing right there
The Assault joke made me sigh very loudly. Well done lol
Also, the editing is top notch this video!
4:25 ---> discovered it the hard way when i found a shiny Hariyama on victory road :"3
Ooh that mic quality was hitting different today at 4 AM. Even without headphones, it sounds like he’s in my ear. I’m going to fall asleep watching this…
thank you for making such a good video on my favourite pokemon!
I love hariyama, one of my favorite fighting types
I regret replacing Heavy Hitter the hariyama with groudon for the elite four in my omega ruby playthrough. I'm sorry my man
I love the Hariyama line. I caught my first shiny in Ruby, he was a Makuhita at that point.
