Stats & Training

Raw HP carries Throh's bulk more than the defenses do. Sp. Atk barely registers. But that HP pool covers for it. A tough to catch Judo Pokemon that yields 2 HP EVs on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.

Legends: Z-A Evolution

Breeding is the whole story for Throh. A decent partner pool through one egg group, eggs are average hatch time, and you won't need to evolve anything. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.

Legends: Z-A Throh Best Moveset

Nothing fancy here. Throh builds around Flame Orb for self-burn for Guts activation, Adamant nature for the right stat lean, and max HP and Attack EVs. Guts does its job quietly.

Hard to wall, honestly. Throh threatens 12 types beyond its own STAB, with Dark and Rock standing out. Pair that with Close Combat and Focus Blast and switchins need to think twice.

Throh Guide

  • In Legends: Z-A, Mold Breaker changes the entire equation for Throh. The 465 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a tank. Knock Off with Flame Orb is the standard set.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Throh's biggest threats include Staraptor (Flying), Reuniclus (Psychic), and Clefable (Fairy), all carrying super-effective STAB moves.

  • Mold Breaker is what you want on Throh. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Guts, Inner Focus) work on paper but Mold Breaker is what makes Throh worth using.

  • Base 45 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Throh is a physical attacker with base 100 Attack. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a tank.

  • For Legends: Z-A, the core moveset is Knock Off, Circlethrow, Facade, and Stormthrow. Knock Off leads at 19% usage. This set covers the tank role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Throh joined the series in Black & White and has been available in 8 titles so far. With 6 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
