Pokémon Review: Throh

Throh is actually the bulkiest fighting-type in the game -- it's extremely good in NU and is even seen in higher tiers such as RU, UU and occasionly OU.
Base 100 attack is also very nice plus it has Bulk Up and Guts to make it even higher! Circle Throw is a nice attack, and Throh is one of the best Pokemon that can use the move... not just that, he even gets STAB bonus on it.
One of the biggest downfalls is it's low Speed, and since he only has 1 recovery move he tends to be KO'd fairly quick.
I think he deserves a little more use, as I'd like to see him in RU eventually but yeah.

As for EVs, I'd normally focus mainly on HP and Special Defense.
As for abilities, Throh has a solid ability in Guts, which increases attack by 50% when it has a status problem.

The most common NU moveset for Throh is a Chesto berry/Rest set, credit to Smogon as usual:
  
ChestoRest
Throh @ Chesto Berry
252 HP/4 Def/252 SpD
Nature: Careful
Ability: Guts
Moveset: Bulk Up, Circle Throw, Payback, Rest

And the most common RU set is:

Bulk Up
Throh @ Leftovers
252 HP/4 Def/252 SpD
Nature: Careful
Ability: Guts
Moveset: Bulk Up, Circle Throw, Payback/Stone Edge, Rest


In the TCG: 
Card I am reviewing: Throh - 58/98 - Emerging Powers

Honestly, this card isn't that good, and I can't say I recommend it.

It's only move is "Scarf Hold" which requires a Fighting Energy and a Colorless Energy, it does 30 damage and also lets you flip a coin, and stops the defending Pokemon from attacking next turn, which is why I like it better than Sawk.

It's an average basic Pokemon overall, it just sucks that it doesn't have an evolution. :/

Overall, I would definitely not recommend using this card in a deck.
