This move also lowers the target’s Defense and Special Defense stats, making it really hard for the enemy Pokémon to survive consecutive blows. On the other hand, this is another highly damaging Physical attack. An A-Tier Fighting-type move that has 120 Power and 100 Accuracy. So, alternatively, you can use Close Combat. This is a challenging task considering this Pokémon’s low IV Speed. Unfortunately, this move only works if you are not hit before using it. This S-Tier move has 150 Power, 100 Accuracy, and 20 PP. Iron Hands Hariyama has access to Focus Punch. However, this Pokémon won’t be able to do much if it gets knocked out before attacking, so be mindful of that when using it against opponents that might have Psychic-, Fairy-, or Ground-type moves. That said, Speed is already Iron Hands Hariyama’s weakest stat, and you don’t really lose much by having 10% less of it. You will get 10% more Attack for 10% less Speed. It becomes even higher if it has the Brave nature. It is one of the highest IV stats you can get in Scarlet and Violet. At its turn, Iron Hands Hariyama can probably one-shot many Pokémon due to its insanely high 140 attack stat. Its high HP can help it stay alive when caught by a move it’s weak to. On the other hand, it takes half damage from Rock-, Bug-, Dark-, Steel-, and Electric-type moves. It takes twice as much damage from Psychic, Fairy, and Ground moves. This combination of types is pretty good defense-wise since it makes Iron Hands Hariyama weak to only three move types. It has 570 total base stats, which makes it an S-Tier Pokémon, and it can come with Guard Dog and Quark Drive as an Ability. One of my favorite fighting types, Iron Hands Hariyama is a Fighting- and Electric-type Paradox Pokémon.
