Kahuna hapu age trial#

Voiced in Latin American Spanish by: Alicia Barragán He has a second one in the Fightinium Z, which lets his Hariyama use All-Out Pummeling and is rewarded to trainers that defeat him. This had been the case since Kukui's time, when Hariyama was a Makuhita. Weapon of Choice: As opposed to Crabrawler and later Crabominable, his signature Pokémon here is Hariyama, with Crabrawler having been relegated to his opening Pokémon.Took a Level in Badass: Much like in the games, Crabrawler evolves into Crabominable when the group visits Mt.Stout Strength: Can effortlessly lift and carry several logs when Ash and Pikachu can't even lift one.Rocket Punch: Just like the game, Hala's All-Out Pummeling Z-Move is depicted as a rapid barrage of punches fired from a distance.
