Throh does not evolve and is a male-only species. It travels and trains in packs of five, and any member unable to keep up throws away its belt and leaves the group; the belt itself is woven from vines and darkens as it absorbs Throh's sweat.
Throh made his animated series debut under Montgomery in The Clubsplosion Begins, where he defeated Delbert's Mienshao, Iris's Excadrill, and Ash's Scraggy before losing to Stephan's Sawk in Commanding the Clubsplosion Crown!. In A Close Call... Practically!, James pulled a Throh from the Rocket Prize Master to battle Lucario and Cinderace.
Throh's first card appeared in the Black & White base set, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, followed by Emerging Powers, Dragons Exalted, and Plasma Blast. Cosmic Eclipse and Brilliant Stars carried the line forward, and the Scarlet and Violet era's Black Bolt set added an Uncommon by Shin Nagasawa and an illustration rare by GOSSAN.

The Throh cards span 2011 to 2025, and the most valuable Throh card is the Illustration rare from Black Bolt in 2025. All 8 of the 8 Throh cards carry a market value. Four of the leading Throh cards come from the Black & White era, yet the single highest Throh card value belongs to the newest set in the list, which puts Black Bolt ahead of every Black & White print.
The Black Bolt Illustration rare from 2025 leads Throh card value by 8.1 times over the next card. That second card is the Rare from Black & White in 2011. Third comes an Uncommon from Dragons Exalted in 2012, followed by a Common from Plasma Blast in 2013. An illustration rare is a card with artwork that extends across the frame, while the rest of this group are standard prints from the Black & White era.
The Black & White era supplies 4 of the 8 leading Throh cards, with Scarlet & Violet adding 2, Sun & Moon 1 and Sword & Shield 1. The newest era's leader is the Black Bolt Illustration rare from 2025, which sits 1st overall. Vintage means the WOTC era and modern is every later era, and all 8 Throh cards are modern, in the top ten and in the top twenty-five alike.
Among the Throh cards in the top ten, the printed rarities are 4 Uncommon, 2 Common, 1 Illustration rare and 1 Rare. Widening to the top twenty-five gives the same counts, since the species has only 8 cards. Uncommon is the largest group, with Common cards making up the next largest share, and the Illustration rare and the Rare stand as one card each.
By the value of its single leading card, Throh ranks 775th of 1020 species with priced cards. The Throh card market is built around one Illustration rare from Black Bolt, with the other Throh cards trailing it by a wide margin and spread across Black & White, Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet sets.
