Throh is known for its distinctive red body and white judogi, complete with a black belt, signifying its mastery of martial arts. According to the Pokédex, Throh live in mountain forests, where they gather in groups of five and train diligently. They are said to tie vines around their waists to make their judogi stronger, and their belts grow darker over time as they absorb sweat from countless battles, a testament to their dedication. In the anime, Throh typically appear as strong, disciplined fighters, often seen in dojos or training alongside trainers. Their fighting style emphasizes throws and grappling, reflecting real-world judo techniques. As a pure Fighting-type, Throh is strong against Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark, and Steel types, but weak against Flying, Psychic, and Fairy types. While not a central figure in the main game narratives, Throh is a memorable design that embodies the spirit of martial arts within the Pokémon world, making it a fan favorite among those who appreciate its unique aesthetic and lore. Its design is a clear homage to judokas, adding a touch of cultural significance to its character.
