Brawly 150px Shijima Dewford Town Knuckle Badge TM 08Bulk Up Ruby, Sapphire,, Emerald Fighting-type Machop, Hariyama. and Makuhita Machop, Hariyama Brawly is the Gym Leader of Dewford Town in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. He is a young man who specializes in Fighting-type Pokémon. In the Anime Brawly once trained with Chuck, a Gym Leader from Johto. Brawly teaches many of the locals how to surf as well as how to train Pokémon. Many of his pupils at the Gym are surfers like himself. Ash was annoyed that Brawly would put off a Gym battle in favor of going surfing. Brawly trains his Pokémon by taking them surfing, and through this they learn how to dodge and concentrate on keeping their balance. A combination of this special form of dodging and Ash's own arrogance allowed Brawly to best the younger trainer despite a type disadvantage. After this, Ash trained for several weeks in anticipation of a rematch. Ash even went so far as to copy Brawly's wave-training to teach his Pokémon how to dodge and resist attacks. Ash later battled one of Brawly's students in a storm. Brawly showed up and told them to call off the match until the storm passed. Brawly led everyone, even Team Rocket, to a cave on the shore to wait for the storm to pass. After seeing Ash's battle against his star pupil, Brawly agreed to a rematch in a private arena- a wave-swept islet off the coast of Dewford. Using his Pokémon's new techniques and his newly-caught Corphish, Ash was finally able to claim the Knucklebadge. Pokémon This listing is of Brawly's Pokémon in the Pokémon Anime. Makuhita → Hariyama Machop In the Games thumb|Brawly, as seen in R/S/E Brawly's title is "A big wave in fighting". His strategy is direct physical attacks and thinks "Fighting Pokémon rule". Brawly's Gym is kept in pitch-black darkness to increase the bravery of the trainers. Brawly also trains in the rough waves around Dewford and the pitch-black Granite Cave. He believes the world awaits him as the next big wave. He often talks in surfing jargon, and constantly talks about "big waves" - both literal and metaphorical. Brawly once trained with Bruno of the Kanto Elite Four. Pokémon This listing is for Brawly's Pokémon in the video games in which he has appeared.

His strategy is to use "subtle forces" over speed and power to use his opponents' strength against them. He also likes to save his Pokémon's evolutions for battles. During his match with Sapphire, his Makuhita evolved into Hariyama. Sapphire figured out that his use of Counter could be overcome by moves which attacked with multiple hits, such as Double Kick. Due to a misunderstanding, she was also expecting Brawly's Pokémon to evolve. Brawly sided with Team Aqua in the Hoenn conflict because he wanted more places to surf. He changed his mind after Kyogre and Groudon started their rampage. His opponent during the Kyogre/ Groudon ficaso was Hank. It is unsure whether he wins or not.
