[Sawk] VS Throh
Black and White Weekly Poll #6: Throh vs Sawk http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/7/74/538Throh.png/184px-538Throh.png Throh - A great defensive supporter, with a decent movepool. - Decent Attack, with greater defense than Sawk - Guts Ability - A great physical attacker that can sweep pretty well - High attack, low defense - Sturdy Ability So which will it be for you, Sawk or Throh??? |
To be honest I hate both of these Pokemon, 2 of my all time least favourites x.x Although Sawk is the lesser of two evils due to having the Sturdy ability, it makes it a pretty lethal sweeper tbh. Although Throh does get its own signature move which is pretty cool... But yeah, I guess Sawk wins. :3
|
I don't care for either one, but if I had to choose one, I'd pick Sawk. He has better attack and speed. I prefer a faster, aggressive playstyle. ^^
|
Throh, because it is the only one I've used of the two. Otherwise I don' like them, but then again I usually don't like Fighting Pokémon.
|
Having owned neither, and my first playthrough using nothing but dark types; (Two Liepards, Zoruark, Bisharp and Krokorok. If you're wondering why Scrafty wasn't included, it's because I just don't like their appearance) I'm throwing my vote to the one I feared the most.
Throh has that annoying tendancy of not dying and throwing out Revenge and Vital Throw, which was very lethal to my team >.< Sawk is an excellent Pokemon from what I've been beaten by, but I just prefer the defence of Throh. |
I never use them before and I even forget that they exist so yeah :P
I will just pick Sawk though because of its color, Blue XD |
DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE. ;_;
These are my personal favourites from GENV, but I'm gonna have to go with Throh because of how useful he was in my first run-through of White. |
Sawk is the best, thanks to Sturdy. That Pokemon is so annoying with that ability XD but it's a very worthwhile Pokemon.
|
I like Sawk's design, its sweeper ability, its ability (although not when facing one, of course). I don't like it in all great detail, but in comparison to Throh, it wins this contest in with a landslide victory in my eyes.
|
I dislike them both, mainly because neither of them really look like Pokémon to me. But, I picked Throh because he's short like me. And us short folks gotta stick together, ya'know?
|
Never used either but my boyfriend is obsessed with his Sawk so gonna go with that one. Also blue is cooler than red.
|
I chose Sawk as I play Black and Sawk is more common in Black, plus he's cooler.
Even though I have both a Sawk and Throh I just like Sawk better. I cherish my Sawk when I feel like training him, he has a Relaxed nature and Sturdy ability. |
Sawk
Everytime i battle a sawk i end up getting killed because of Sturdy.
Throh is not much of a threat. |
I'm going to go with Hitmontop...
I really don't care for either, but I slightly like Throh over Sawk. Stephan Sawk lost to Iris Elomga, are we serious! I am interested to see how Throh is portrayed in the anime, but as now I will go with him just for appearance purpose. |
I used a Sawk in Black for most of the game and it turned out great because of its Heracross-level Attack and Speed. So I'm going with that one.
|
I don't really like any of them, but I would probably choose Throh. Idk why though, just because I've only used that one before. Sawk actually looks pretty decent though since it's fast, has some good attack, and has the sturdy ability. I'm actually not quite sure which I would choose, but quite honestly, I don't really like either one of them.
|
I prefer Sawk to Throh.
I guess physical > defensive for me. :P |
I think Sawk is the better of the two. In looks and battling. The thing is that Sawk's movepool is better for Throh and vice versa, if only they swapped these pokemon would be very good.
|
Sawk for me I guess. I am not a total fan of these two. But Sturdy became a focus-sash in the fifth gen, so yeah. Sawk for me.
|
I'd have to say Sawk by far, faster and has a better ability IMO.
|
Sawk because it's blue. Yeap, that's all. :D
|
I'm saying Sawk. It's blue, and fast. So my vote goes for Sawk!
|
Definitely the Karate Pokemon Sawk for me, since I can relate to him rather well. Sturdy is also a fantastic ability for him to have albeit a frustrating one when used against me.
This is my post for the 5th December, Kaori. |
Well I don't really like them but Sawk looks a little bit better than Throh so I voted for Sawk lol
|
I don't really like either of them, but I voted Sawk because it is blue, and Vaporeon is blue.
|
Throw because he was useful in White and Sock is smelly.
|
I think Sawk is better for me, since it can sweep with Speed and Attack Power. Though, to be honest, I found Throh to be more life-saving for me, because I already have good Physical Sweepers. Throh was my Best ANTI-Darkrai Weapon :D !!! Toxic Orb+Protect= Poisoned (Sleep Wont affect me) + 50% Additional Power with Guts+Superpower > :)
It also took out an Arceus with one shot O_O |
I like sawk, because he's blue & i'm more of an attacker person (with Pokemon) :P

Sawk, totally, it's low defense doesn't matter because of sturdy and then it can just sweep :)
|
while i can't stand either of them imma say throh on this one cause he looks cute in that art.
|
I think they're both great in their own ways, but I found myself preferring Sawk. I guess Close Combat is better than Superpower in my opinion as well.
EDIT: And I prefer Conkeldurr as a Guts user to Throh. |
Sawk - Because he's Blue ;)
|
I really don't like either...but if I had to choose, it would be Sawk. The coloration and all out attacker suits me more. Plus I like tall dudes more than chunky, short ones.
|
I don't know why but I appreciate these two Pokémons.
They're original and at the same time not original at all, I can't really explain why I think that... However I also think they don't look like Pokémon, and I it's not good. Well, between both of them, I would choose Sawk. I don't especially prefer it to Throh, but it looks tougher. And also, I prefer blue than red, no matter if it's not a decent reason :P |
Prefer Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee & Hitmontop....I don't like these fellas but that's just me, to throw in my opinion quickly
|
Since I don't like any of them, I would have to go with Throh because it has a higher defense.
:t354:TG |
I like Sawk because of its design, cry and its Sturdy Ability. I also like Sawk because it was the first Pokemon I caught in the rustling grass.
|
I think they're both great since I'm in my fighting type mood at the moment.
But so far I've only trained a Throh so I pick him. |
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. |
I haven't bothered using them, but I always prefer Pokemon with more Attack. :3 Therefore, I will vote for Sawk.
|
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.
|
It's pretty safe to say that Sawk has won, but hey in the next hour we could get lots of mass votes (of course everyone can continue posting in the thread), but yeah, unstickying (and also voted for Sawk just then!) and the new weekly poll will be up soon :)
|
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.
|
Don't care for either, seeing as the creativity behind their spawn was null and the initial pair look cooler anyways... So if I had to make a choice, my reasoning would be thus:
http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/2/29/Sawk.png = http://www.trincycle.com/images/library/large/assos_thermicsock_blue_11_m.jpg |
Throh, out of the two he's the only one I've currently used.. I do plan to pick up a Sawk at some point but for now my vote goes to Throh. I still prefer Sawk's design!
|
I love these Pokémon vs Pokémon threads.
This one for me wasn't easy to decide as I really like both Throh and Sawk. I love Throh's design and the fact he isn't as tall as Sawk, which puts me off him.. but I do love that he is blue and a physical nightmare. The choice between a loss of attack for some defense isn't a bad idea either. Again making it hard to decide is their abilities... Guts makes up and more for the less attack than Sawk at the cost of a hax, on the other hand Sturdy hinders other trying to take advantage of Sawk's low defense. For me it is going to be Sawk solely on the fact it is more common in my version and none of the above reasons. |
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 kinda prefered Sawk over Throh, don't they each have some special
stat,Throh is attack and Sawk is speed? Anyways, I always liked Sawk, it was quick and kicked butt. |
Filth. Absolute filth, both of them. I don't hate them quite as much as Timburr's line, but man do I dislike these guys. If I HAD to choose one, then I'd go with Throh because I like its color scheme better :L
|
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.
|
Dewds and Mario this day, what has this world come to D:,
I'm still going with Sawk and sealing it. |
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. Cyclone |
I used Sawk in my Black play through because of its better Attack and Speed compared to Throh.
|
Sawk, it's faster and it has better attack. It's level up moves are better
|
Woo somebody who agrees, Throh is fat.
|
Sawk is possibly the best member of my Black team and totally reliable - so Sawk. He looks way cooler anyways :D
|
I like Throh the most. Even though Throh have less attack than Sawk, it has very high defence. It can even endure many super effective attacks.
|
Even though the poll is completed, I choose Sawk. He is skinnier, more nimble and better looking (I don't like fat-ish Pokemon much, some exceptions apply though)
|
sawk will win of course Its a awsome battle pokemon
so a great pokemon |

EDIT: Forgot to say, I like Sawk better. I initially had him on my in-game team in Pokemon Black and I like his appearance much more than Throhs. I have yet to battle one competitively, so my opinion could change. |
I havnt really used either, but I'll go with sawk, looking at his stats, teh sturdy and that hes blue.
