How To Evolve Makuhita Into Hariyama In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Makuhita is a fighting-type Pokemon in the game, excellent for early game offense due to their aggression and powerful attacking stats. Makuhitas are relatively easy to find, and players can easily find them in locations such as Asado Desert, East Province area one, two, and three. The Pokemon are usually wandering the world and can be caught once defeated in battle.
In order to upgrade Makuhita into Hariyama, all players have to do is take their Makuhita to level 24. This can be done with relative ease by engaging in battles with Makuhita or using items such as XP candies to upgrade their level.
Aside from this, players can also find Hariyama’s wandering the world of Paldea, much like Makuhitas. They roam the same regions and are usually found hanging beside their small predecessors Makuhitas.
In terms of differences, Hariyamas are tougher, bigger in stature, and have higher stats. While both Pokemon are themed after wrestlers, Hariyamas are superior in every way. This is also why players should expect a challenge when battling a Hariyama to catch them.
