Trivia

 * Throh is based on a Judoka and Sumo Wrestler.
 * Throh was revealed on September 17th when sprites of all the Generation V pokmon were revealed.
 * Throh and Sawk can be viewed as the "Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan" of the Unova Region.
 * Throh's name is a reverse effect of two names: throw, and horht, which is Sanskrit for "combat"
 * This pokemon has a remarkable resemblance to the Sesame Street character "Ernie". Its cry sounds like a Sheep and a Machine gun.
 * Throh's english name was originally going to be 'Rawkem', but was changed late in the process of english localization as a result of possible copyright infringement. Throh's counterpart (Sawk) was to have the english name 'Sawkem' (which, when read in pokedex order, would read 'Rawkem Sawkem'). This is a play on the famous 80's toy franchise Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. Even more of a coincidence, are the matching red and blue colors shared between the pokemon and the game's characters.
 * Being one of the few all-male Pokemon species, Throh is unable to breed without the assistance of a Ditto.
