Throat Chop is a Dark-type, physical move introduced back in Gen VII of Pokemon. This proved to be a useful attack in battle thanks to its secondary ability, which prevents the opponent from using sound-based moves for two turns. While not sought-out for movesets in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, Throat Chop can be ideal if you're expected to battle a Pokemon that relies on sound-based moves such as Liquid Voice. In Scarlet & Violet, Throat Chop can be very useful in Tera Raids, such as the 7-star Skeledirge.
