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

USUM Throh Best Moveset
120 HP and 100 Attack at 85/85 defenses with AbilityGuts boosting Attack through status. Fighting TermStab at real power with enormous HP. But 45 Speed acts dead last. The moveset absorbs hits and retaliates hard, limited by Speed. D-tier through bulk and Guts power too slow to matter.

Moves List
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.

Throh Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Mold Breaker changes the entire equation for Throh. The 465 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a tank. Circlethrow 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 a physical attacker with base 100 Attack. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a tank.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Circlethrow, Bulk Up, Rest, and Sleep Talk. Circlethrow leads at 0% 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.
