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.
When it tightens its belt, it becomes stronger. Wild Throh use vines to weave their own belts.
When it encounters a foe bigger than itself, it wants to throw it. It changes belts as it gets stronger.
Throh Weakness
Type-wise, Throh takes extra damage from Flying, Psychic, and Fairy. Throh's overall bulk (120/85/85) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

Moves
Hard to wall, honestly. Throh threatens 10 types beyond its own STAB, with Normal and Ground standing out. Pair that with Focus Punch and Superpower and switchins need to think twice.

Best Locations to Catch Throh in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
Throh Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Mold Breaker changes the entire equation for Throh. The 465 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a tank. Rest with Leftovers is the standard set.
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 leaning toward the physical side (base 100 Attack). Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a tank.
For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the core moveset is Rest, Rock Slide, Sleep Talk, and Circlethrow. Rest 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.
