PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

• Low Kick and Focus Blast give Throh its strongest Fighting Type moveset
• Low Sweep and Brick Break aren't good moves.
• Body Slam has the second-highest neutral damage of Throh's Charged moves, but it can't deal Super Effective damage
• Zen Headbutt is inferior

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

• Zen Headbutt has higher base damage, and is generally the fast move of choice
• Body Slam provides solid power, 3 bars, and good neutral coverage
• Brick Break is fairly comparable to Body Slam on defense after STAB
• Low Sweep is basically identical to Low Brick Break, but just slightly easier to dodge. Most of the time, the difference won't make a huge difference 
• Focus Blast takes too long to charge and probably won't even be used.
• Low Kick is generally inferior

PvP Moveset Explanation

Low Kick + Body Slam & Low Sweep

Throh was not blessed with good fast moves. Among them, Low Kick is its best option with a below-average set of 2 DPT (Damage Per Turn) and 2.5 EPT (Energy Per Turn). This alone hurts its viability greatly. Not even Body Slam (60 Power/35 Energy) can help it, and the fact that the absolutely horrible Low Sweep (40 Power/40 Energy) is its other best move basically kills it. It could run Focus Blast (150 Power/75 Energy), but it will probably faint to fast moves before getting it off.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 0 / 5

Movesets can make-or-break a Pokemon, and this time it absolutely broke Throh. Don't bother raising it.

Ultra League: 0 / 5

It just gets worse in the Ultra League.

Master League: 0 / 5

Using Throh here is a great way to Throh the match.
