Slaking (Japanese: ケッキング, Hepburn: Kekkingu) (SLAH-king) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology

Physiology

This Pokémon has a gorilla-like appearance. Slaking are large, bulky, ape-like bipedal Pokémon. Slaking's fur is mostly colored light brown except for the lighter colored hands, feet, face and chest, and its white collar that begins at the top of its head, downwards. In the anime and Pokémon GO, Slaking's fur is brown.

The color of its nose is light pink in both games and Pokémon GO, but in the anime it was pink.

Behavior

During most of the day, Slaking lolls around and sleeps. It is considered the laziest Pokémon, but even when it is lounging it's actually saving energy. In truth, it can exert a lot of power by releasing the built-up energy all at once, and can regain lost energy through the use of its former signature move, Slack Off. It only moves around when there is no more food within reach for it to eat.

Slaking lives in forest, and mostly feeds on grass and ripened fruit that falls from trees.

Evolution

Slaking is the evolved form of Vigoroth once level 36 is reached. It is the final form of Slakoth.

Appearances

Sawyer's Slaking.

Anime

In the anime, May's father, Norman, has owned a Slaking, and it is first seen in Love, Petalburg Style! where it was called by an angered Norman after Team Rocket and their Pokémon ruined his surprise gift for his wife, Caroline. He immediately orders Slaking to blast Team Rocket off with a powerful Focus Punch. In the following episode, Ash's Grovyle defeats it, earning Ash the Balance Badge.

In the XY series, Sawyer also owns a Slaking and it was used during the Lumiose Conference and his Pokémon relies on countering the opponent with its powerful offensive moves. As Norman's Slaking is much stronger than Sawyer's when they offensively attack the opponent.

Supporting

• Norman's Slaking
• Sawyer's Slaking

Trivia

• Slaking shares some similarities to Regigigas. Both are pure normal-type Pokémon with the same BST and also have abilities that hinder their performance in battle (Slaking having Truant and Regigigas having Slow Start).
• In Pokémon GO, Slaking is one of the few Pokémon that can have a CP of 3000 or more that is not a Mythical or Legendary.
• Slaking is the only Pokémon with a BST of 670 that isn't a Legendary Pokémon.
• When asked in an interview behind the inspiration of Slaking and its evolutionary family, Game Freak staff simply stated that Slakoth went from "a lazy sloth to become motivated, but then decided that it wasn't worth it and went for slacking off instead as Slaking".

Origin

Slaking appears similar to sloths and apes, possibly being based on a gorilla. It may also be based on the extinct Gigantopithecus or Megatherium, being an ancient ape and ground sloth respectively. The stance that it lays in is also a common "relaxing pose" in Japanese media, laying sideways while resting ones head on their hand with their legs crossed.

Etymology

Slaking may come from slack, king, and slacking.
