Makuhita (Japanese: マクノシタ Makunoshita) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Hariyama starting at level 24.

Biology

Makuhita is a bipedal humanoid Pokémon with a bulky build. Most of its body is yellow, but it has a black marking on its chest that extends around its neck. Its round hands resemble black boxing gloves, but its feet are yellow with two visible toes. On its cheeks are red, ring-shaped markings, and it has slit-like eyes. On top of its head is a knot, which causes it to resemble a punching bag.

Makuhita is very gutsy and never gives up, no matter how many times it is knocked down. Energy is built into its body each time it rises back up. Broken trees often surround its nest, because it trains by slapping and slamming into them. It is known to mistake Exeggutor for a tree, and often gets flung away as a result. This Pokémon eats lots of food and gets plenty of sleep. Its rigorous training and lifestyle give it a sturdy body able to withstand any attack. It is found living and training in mountainous areas. Although initially brought from another region to Alola, Makuhita found in Alola are more famous than its region's counterparts.

Makuhita and its evolved form, Hariyama, are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Smelling Salts by leveling up. Prior to Generation V, Arm Thrust was also one of its signature moves.

Trivia

• Makuhita is the only Pokémon to be turned into a Shadow Pokémon in both Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD outside of Japan, though several other Pokémon within the same evolutionary line are turned into Shadow Pokémon in both games, such as Ariados in Colosseum and Spinarak in XD.
• Makuhita has a lower catch rate than its evolution.
• Makuhita has the lowest base Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed stats of all Fighting-type Pokémon.
• All of Makuhita's base stats are exactly half the value of Hariyama's.

Origin

Makuhita appears to be based on a sumo wrestler, also called a rikishi or sumōtori. It also resembles a punching bag due to its plump body and topknot. The topknot may be a reference to a chonmage (a traditional hairstyle for sumo wrestlers). Makuhita's hands resemble boxing gloves, and its two-toed feet resemble geta or zōri (Japanese wooden sandals). The black marking around its neck resembles a baby bib, indicating its inexperience as an unevolved Pokémon and that sumo wrestlers need to follow a multi-calorie diet.

Name origin

Makuhita and Makunoshita may be corruptions of 幕下 makushita (the third-highest sumo division).
