Trivia

• Throh and Sawk draw parallels to the Generation I Pokémon Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, in that they are Template:Type2 Pokémon that appear to be related to each other.
• Throh, along with Sawk, Rufflet, Braviary, Tauros, and the Hitmons, is one of the few gendered non-legendary Pokémon naturally occurring in the wild that cannot reproduce without a Ditto.
• Throh learns only Physical and Status moves by level.
  • The only Special moves it can learn at all are Round, Focus Blast, Grass Knot, and Hidden Power, and only by TM.
• According to interviews with Sugimori in Nintendo Dream: in development, Sawk and Throh both had horns and looked more like Oni, but these were removed so as not to clash with Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus.

Origin

Throh is based upon a Judo and Oni.

Name origin

Throh is a corruption of throw. Nageki is the combination of 投げる nageru, to throw, and 撃 geki, strike.
