Makuhita Description

Makuhita is a Fighting-type Pokemon introduced in Hoenn. It is known for intense training, strong physical attacks and evolution into Hariyama.

Competitive Overview

Is Makuhita Good in Competitive?

Makuhita is usually a Little Cup or early-game Fighting-type option rather than a standard competitive staple. With Guts, priority support and strong Fighting-type attacks, it can still create pressure in restricted formats.

Makuhita’s strengths are its physical movepool, bulk for an unevolved Pokemon and abilities like Guts and Thick Fat. Its biggest issues are low Speed and competition from stronger evolved Fighting-types.
