Vigoroth (Japanese: ヤルキモノ, HepburnYarukimono) (VIG-er-roth[1]) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Vigoroth is a white Pokémon, bearing some resemblance to a sloth but with a large tuft of red fur on its forehead. It also has very small ears and teeth, yet large eyes with brown rings around them. It has two, horizontal brown stripes on its back which match the rings. Its arms are very long and the hands and feet have two long, black claws and red circles are at the bottom of the hands and feet. On some parts of its body, the fur is shaggy.

Behavior[]

They can't sit still for a single second; ceasing movement will stress them out greatly and make them ill. Vigoroth feel a constant urge to go on rampages thanks to their boundless energy. Consequently, they also feel a never-ending desire for food; even when eating, however, they keep moving. In fact, Vigoroth don't sleep, instead spending all of their time running about aimlessly. As they run, they will spin and flail their arms about wildly to burn off more energy, destroying much of what is in their way.

Vigoroth are territorial beings that live in groups. They defend their Slaking colonies in troops, putting their endless energy to use. They chase off intruders from their colonies in large numbers; oftentimes, up to a dozen Vigoroth will pursue single threats until sufficiently far away. Vigoroth are also in charge of foraging. They gather large amounts of food to bring back home, eating constantly as they travel. Whatever they don't finish eating is piled up at the center of their nests, where their brethren can then feast.

Natural abilities[]

The hearts of Vigoroth beat at a tenfold tempo, with their body producing energy at a similar rate.

Evolution[]

Vigoroth is the evolved form of Slakoth as of level 18, and it evolves into Slaking at level 36.

Trivia[]

  • Vigoroth is an oxymoron, as it is a hyperactive sloth (with sloths in general being slow and inactive).
  • 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 as Vigoroth, but then decided that it wasn't worth it and went for slacking off instead".

Origin[]

Vigoroth is based on a sloth and may also take inspiration from apes.

Etymology[]

Vigoroth may come from vigorous and sloth.
