Share

Throh (Japanese: ナゲキ Nageki) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. He is Sawk's counterpart.

Biology

Physiology

Throh is a humanoid Pokémon dressed in a gi, a traditional training and contest uniform among many martial arts. His head is red and has very large eyebrows. He is shorter than Sawk, and has 3 toes that make a triangle shape.

Throh is a Fighting-type Pokémon with a bulky body, red, rocky skin, and seemingly wearing a white and black martial arts outfit. His head is round, with a “Y”-shaped black feature over his eyes and nose. The collar of his outfit is rimmed in black, and the sleeves sport a crisscrossed pattern. Throh’s hands are red with three bulbous, gecko-like fingers. He has a black, martial-arts style belt, and his white “pants” have black patches on the knees. His feet have three digits. His power increases when his belt is tied. Wild ones can create their own belts. Throh have a tendency to throw around larger opponents. They live in herds of around five Pokémon. He creates his own belt by weaving vines.

Evolution

Throh does not evolve.

Trivia

  • Throh was revealed on September 17 when sprites of all the Generation V Pokémon were revealed.
  • Throh and Sawk can be viewed as the "Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan" of the Unova region.
  • 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 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.
  • In the anime and in Poképark 2, Throh always appears to be taller than Sawk, when it is not.
  • Being one of the few all-male Pokémon species, Throh is unable to breed without the assistance of a Ditto.
  • Throh was repurposed from an unused Generation 4 design which was never seen.
  • Storm Throw is its signature move in the Generation 8 games.

Origin

Throh is based on a Judoka (an expert in judo)and Sumo Wrestler.

It may also be based on the red oni from a Japanese story, but its horns wree changed into eyebrows to avoid a mix up with the Forces of Nature trio’s Thunderus and Tornadus who also had this origin.

Etymology

Throh's English name is a reverse effect of two words: "throw", and "horht" (which is Sanskrit for "combat").
