5th Gen [Sawk] VS Throh

I used a Throh named Brutus in my White runthrough, and he was very useful indeed, so my vote goes to the little red fella.

To be entirely honest, I don't really like either of them that much. They remind me too much of Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street, and they both just look really grumpy.

Neither of them appeal to me but (somehow they remind me of Ernie and Bert...) I must say I prefer Sawk. I've always preferred offense to defense and Sawk just looks cooler (plus Bert is awesome).

I used sawk in my black party, but only because I encountered him early.

I prefer Sawk over Throh, though both have their pros and cons. I've used Sawk in my Black run, and he plays out pretty well. Even with low defenses he's pretty fast and the Sturdy ability will help him dish out a hit or two before being KO'ed.

I really like the design of both of them, partly because they remind me of the days when I used to do karate. But I have to say Sawk is the more preferred one in my opinion. I prefer a faster and more powerful play style, and with sturdy you really can't go wrong.

From my point of view, Sawk is probably my best bet. I like his color scheme, choice of battling, how cute his sprite in, and his battle cry is adorable compared to Troh. Unlike Troh, Sawk has some moves I've seen others use that Troh hasn't. I prefer speed over defense in the end.

not really interested in fight type but

well, they are strong but i don't like fight type pokemon a lot, but if i decide between them, i'll take Sawk, it's blue, one of my fav colors lol

I would say throh because throh has better defense than sawk and sawk can be defeated easily with low defense.

I hate them both, but I like Sawk a lot more because of it's attack. Besides, Throh is really ugly and I hate its name.

I don't necessarily like either all that much, but if I had to pick one I'd pick Throh, simply because it looks like Mario.

Sawk has the Sturdy ability. Throh does not. While I don't have a fighting preference between them, if I was using a move that required me going last, Sawk would be the better candidate to deliver the OHKO.

Quick note regarding B2/W2 if this may be excused: they become version exclusive in the new games. This is based on my research so far, and this could be different.

I used Sawk in my Black play through because of its better Attack and Speed compared to Throh.
