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 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 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 the only known Pokémon to know the move Smelling Salts. 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.

Trivia
Origin
Makuhita appears to be based on a sumo wrestler, also called a 力士 rikishi or 相撲取り sumōtori. It also resembles a punching bag due to its round body and topknot. The topknot may also be a reference to a 丁髷 chonmage (a tradtional hairstyle of sumo wrestlers). Makuhita's hands resemble boxing gloves, and its two-toed feet resemble 下駄 geta or 草履 zōri (Japanese wooden sandals). The black marking around its neck resembles a baby bib, possibly referencing its youth and inexperience as an unevolved Pokémon.
Name origin
Makuhita and Makunoshita may be a corruptions of 幕下 makushita (the third-highest sumo division).
