Okay, here’s my attempt at writing a blog post in the style you described, focusing on my “journey” to find the best moveset for Hariyama in Pokemon Go:
Alright, so I’ve been on this quest, right? Trying to make my Hariyama, “BigFella,” a total beast in raids and gyms. I mean, I love this guy’s look – pure muscle, ready to rumble. But I kept getting smoked! His performance was… underwhelming. So, I started digging.

First, I just threw whatever moves I had on him. I think he had Counter and some random charged move, I actually don’t remember exactly. Total chaos. He’d faint before he could even fire one strong attack attack off!
Then, I started hitting up some websites. The first page that popup up. Reading, reading, reading… It was a lot of data, but most said Counter and Dynamic Punch was the way to go. And Superpower, it’s powerful, but I will risk my own defense, so maybe keep it for the last choice.
I also tried the following moves:
- Counter and Dynamic Punch: This combo. It felt so much better. BigFella was actually doing some damage!
- Counter and Superpower: This is a risk move. It’s true.
- Counter and Close Combat: Not bad.
My Final Verdict(for now)
After all the testing, messing around, and a whole lot of battles, here’s what I’m sticking with:
Counter and Dynamic Punch. Yup, the classic. It just works. It’s consistent, dishes out good damage, and doesn’t leave BigFella as some total glass cannon.
I’m always open to tweaking things, Maybe will change my mind later. But for now, this is the combo that’s making my Hariyama a true fighting machine!
