Global PokédeX Plus Forums _ Pokémon Polls _ Sawk or Throh?

Posted by: Gizmokarp Mar 19 2012, 01:11 AM

basically, which do you prefer (for whatever reason); Sawk, or Throh?
or do you like them both equally and can't decide?

personally, i prefer Throh because he's more bulky and chubby and stuff. <:

Sawk.
He's looks more appealing to me.

Neither design wins over the other for me. In terms of competitive use, however, I'm gonna have to give this one to Throh. His unique bulk for a fighting type, coupled with his great attack stat, really appeals to me.

I prefer Sawk because I don't really like Throh's design. :I

This... is a really tough call.

I'm not a big fighting- type fan, but these two are pretty interesting.
They both have the best Levitate counter in their HA Mold Breaker.
Inner Focus is also a good ability, as are Sturdy and Guts.
Sadly, Sturdy seems only doable on Quad weakness 'mons and Guts makes Ursaring a double threat.

Stat-wise, I'd have to go with Throh. A little investment into your defenses, regardless of how painfully awesome your attack is, is always a lifesaver. Move-wise, I'd go with Sawk. I prefer Close Combat to Superpower always. Superpower has its place on Nidoqueen, Beartic and Druddigon and for that I am proud because they frickin' need it. Ice-types, as rare as they show up, pose a somewhat serious threat. Unless you're Froslass or Rotom. They will murder you.

Circle Throw and Storm Throw are nice in a regular run, but Storm Throw is best in the CB half. Bulk Up is also good if you can pull it off. Brick Break can give you hell, however if you're a defensive kind of person. Wide and Quick Guard are okay in triple battles, but nobody ever does those.

So yeah, I'm kind of torn between the two. They have respectable flaws and for that I like them.
That's pretty much my answer simplified.
