The equivalent combo to Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee. But in my opinion, Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee are cooler than Throh and Sawk. I wouldn't be surprised if it got a baby and 3rd one to make a trio when Gen 6 is released.

Not a bad card. I would reword Sturdy and Intense Combat though.

Sturdy
If Sawk doesn't have any damage counters on it and would be knocked by an opponents attack, Sawk is not knocked out and remains with 10HP.

Should be:

Sturdy
If Sawk doesn't have any damage counters on it and would be knocked by an opponents attack, Sawk is not knocked out and its remaining HP becomes 10 instead.

Intense Combat 60+
If Sawk has only 10 HP, this attack does 60 damage plus 30 more damage.


I like how Intense Combat has synergy to Sturdy, but it'd be hard to attack full power with it because it takes so long to charge and it's at risk of being polished off because of it's 10 HP.
