Physical Sweeper Throh (Guts)

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.
♦ 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).
♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness).
♦ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon).
