Throh, the Judo Pokémon, is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It is known for its distinctive red mask-like face and white gi with a black belt, resembling a judoka. Throh is a male-only species and does not evolve into or from any other Pokémon, though it is often considered a counterpart to Sawk, which is a male-only Karate Pokémon. Throh are typically found in mountainous regions and forests, where they train rigorously. They are highly disciplined and practice their throwing techniques by grappling with each other and even with large trees. Their belts are said to be woven from vines they collect, and the tighter the belt, the stronger they become. In the Pokémon anime, Throh often appears as a formidable opponent, known for its powerful throws and unwavering focus in battle. Its Fighting type makes it strong against Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark, and Steel types, but weak against Flying, Psychic, and Fairy types. Throh embodies the spirit of martial arts, emphasizing strength, technique, and perseverance, making it a memorable and iconic Fighting-type Pokémon for many fans.
