==Trivia==
* Sawk is the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Rock Smash}} by leveling up.
* Sawk and {{p|Throh}} draw parallels to the [[Generation I]] Pokémon {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}, in that they are male-only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon that appear to be counterparts of each other.
* Sawk and {{p|Throh}} draw parallels to the [[Generation I]] Pokémon {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}, in that they are male-only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon that appear to be related to each other.
* Sawk and Throh were designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref name=int>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
* Sawk learns only Normal- and Fighting-type moves by leveling up.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Sawk is based on {{wp|Mas Oyama}}, a well-known {{wp|Karate}} expert and the creator of {{wp|Kyokushinkai}} Karate. He is also based on an ''Oni''.
According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Sawk is based on a ''karateka'' (a {{wp|karate}} practitioner).<ref name=int/>


According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', in development, Sawk and Throh both had horns, making them look more like Oni. However, they were replaced with eyebrows so as not to clash with {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}, who both were originally designed to be red and blue, like Throh and Sawk.
During development, Sawk and Throh both had horns, which may hint towards their design being originally based on ''{{wp|oni}}''. However, they were replaced with eyebrows so as not to clash with {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}, who were originally designed to be red and blue, like Throh and Sawk.<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>


Sawk's single eyebrow is likely a remnant of a single horn from its early design, although it could be a reference to an anecdote involving {{wp|Mas Oyama}}, a well-known {{wp|karate}} expert. It's said that while training in isolation, Oyama was told by his mentor to shave off one eyebrow to resist the temptation to return to society.<ref>Oyama,  M. (1963). What is Karate? Japan Publications Trading Company.</ref>
It may also draw inspiration from ''{{wp|namahage}}'', demons wearing oni masks, replacing the ''{{wp|mino}}'' with a ''{{wp|karategi}}''.
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Sawk is a corruption of ''to sock'', meaning to punch.
