Anime

Stephan's Sawk made its anime debut in BW043.

Trivia

Sawk and Throh can be viewed as the "Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan" of the Unova Region.
Sawk's English name was originally going to be 'Sawkem', but was changed late in the process of English localization as a result of possible copyright infringement. Sawk's counterpart (Throh) was to have the English name 'Rawkem' (which, when read in Pokédex 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 Pokémon and the game's characters.

Origin

Sawk is based on a Karate Master. Sawk along with Throh may be based on the Ashinaga-tenaga, a pair of yokai one of which has long arms and the other has long legs with Sawk representing the longed legged of the pair.

Etymology

Sawk's English name is a corruption of the word "sock", meaning to punch.
