OVERVIEW

Throh is a fantastic phaser in the tier, as not only can it phase, it can deal some damage while Doing so.
Sometimes, the opponent simply can't get past Throh, and if Hazards are up on the enemy's side, they are in big trouble

[SET COMMENTS]

Moves
========

Circle Throw is the primary attacking move on this set, being able to switch out opponents mons, and deal a lot of hazard damage. Rest does it's purpose and puts Throh to sleep and heals him up. Sleep talk is useful as, even if Throh is asleep, it can Knock Off items/Set up Bulk Ups and Juggle the Team around some. Here is a bit of pick and choose, Knock Off or Bulk Up. Bulk up can not only increase it's physical bulk to little bit over Thoh's special bulk after only one use, it can also make Throh deal damage while phasing. Knock off can be used to deal with Psychics and Ghosts, but if you have a Pursuit trapper on your team, it can easily deal with Throh's problems.

Set Details
========

Careful Nature increases Spd, an important aspect as it needs to it to survive a multitude of hits. 252 HP to increase his massive 120 HP, rather large for the tier it's in. 252 SpD, the biggest problems facing Throh are special attackers, this helps him out. 4 Def helps a little, but not much, best not waste it. Guts works in tandem with Rest, as sleep applies to the Guts boost. Leftovers also helps Throh greatly as it gives passive recovery, even while asleep.

Usage Tips
========

Thoh should be sent in on Pokemon that don't have much for Throh, and start Juggling the opponent's team, or lure out ghosts and psychics and Pursuit trappers them with another mon.

Team Options
========

A Pursuit trapper is a fantastic team member for Throh to have, Silvally-Dark Is particularly useful for the Bulk Up set, as not only can it Pursuit trap, it can also lead the way for Throh's Bulk Ups with Parting Shot. A Heal Beller like Granbull is useful to heal of rests.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

An offensive flame orb guts set is possible but not recommended as bulky Throh is much more viable.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Ghosts**: The Bulk up set can do nothing for ghosts, that is why pursuit trappers are so useful.

**Psychics**: Psychic types like Mesprit can come in and quickly neutralize poor Throh by two shotting him.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to reassign this Mr.Badger. Not only has it not been worked on for a month but there's a significant amount wrong with the analysis including the formatting and doing a WIP in paragraph form instead of bullet points. You'll still be able to take a different one if you want another chance, but I highly recommend checking out other examples in the subforum for an idea of what to do, asking for advice, and getting it done in a timely manner.
