Biology

Throh is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon with a bulky, red body and rocky skin. Its head is round and low on its shoulders with a T-shaped black feature that forms its nose and brow. Its hands and feet each have three digits, with its fingers being rounded. It wears a white judogi with a black, v-neck collar that extends down to its black belt. The gi has an integrated diamond pattern on its sleeves and a black, square patch on the bend of its knees. Throh is a male-only species.

Throh travel and train in packs consisting of five members. Any member of the group that cannot keep up will throw away their belt and leave the group. It weaves its black belt from vines and ties the belt to increase its power. The belt grows darker as it absorbs more of Throh's sweat. It is driven to throw larger opponents and will always try to do so.

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Throh is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move Mat Block.

Trivia

• Throh and Sawk draw parallels to the Generation I Pokémon Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, in that they are male-only Fighting-type Pokémon that appear to be counterparts of each other.
• In both the animated series and PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, Throh is slightly taller than Sawk despite being four inches (10 centimetres) shorter than it according to the Pokédex.
• Throh and Sawk were designed by Ken Sugimori. Throh in particular was created from an unused design for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

Origin

According to interviews with Ken Sugimori in Nintendo Dream, Throh draws inspiration from martial arts that involve throwing, and notably a judoka (a judo practitioner).

During development, Throh and Sawk both had horns, which may hint toward their design being originally based on oni. However, they were replaced with eyebrows so as not to clash with Tornadus and Thundurus, who were originally designed to be red and blue, like Throh and Sawk. Throh may be based on an ushi-oni, more specifically a variety with an ox head and oni body, nodding to a famous Japanese-American Akaushi bull named Judo.

It may also draw inspiration from namahage, demons wearing oni masks, replacing the mino with a judogi.

Name origin

Throh may be derived from throw.

Nageki may be a combination of 投げる nageru (to throw), 撃 geki (strike), and 鬼 ki (demon).
