What is a good competitive moveset for Throh? These builds have been optimized for Pokemon competing in Sword/Shield Single Battles. The movesets and EVs have been specifically calibrated to deal the most amount of damage to the largest group of potentially common opponents and typing threats for the Sword/Shield generation metagame.
Throh is a phenomenal Fighting-typed Pokemon. It's a pretty usual sight to see Throh out in the 8th generation battlefield. Throh is weak to Fairy, Flying, and Psychic-typed attacks.
Throh is a decent Physical Sweeper. It tries to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Flame Orb will burn Throh at the end of the turn which will activate Throh's Guts ability. Use Protect to help guarantee the Orb activates on your first turn. With Guts, if Throh is statused its attack is 1.5x; ignores burn halving physical damage. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. Combine that with Guts to seriously give Throh a sweet boost.
♦ Superpower is a physical STAB-boosted 120-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Throh's attack and defense by 1 stage). ♦ Storm Throw is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Fighting-type move (always results in a critical hit). ♦ Facade is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if Throh is burn/poison/paralyzed). ♦ Body Slam is a physical 85-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon). ♦ Stomping Tantrum is a physical 75-base power Ground-type move (power doubles if your Throh's last move failed). ♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Throh this turn).
