Read more ↓Slakoth, the Lazy Pokémon, is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is known for its extreme inactivity, spending more than twenty hours a day sleeping. Its diet primarily consists of three leaves a day, and it moves so little that moss often grows on its fur. Slakoth evolves into Vigoroth at level 18, and then into Slaking at level 36. This evolutionary line is unique in its drastic shift from extreme laziness to incredible power and back to a state of forced inactivity. In the main series games, Slakoth's ability, Truant, forces it to skip every other turn, reflecting its lazy nature. Despite this drawback, its evolutions are powerful. Slakoth made appearances in the Pokémon anime, often depicted in its natural habitat, which typically includes forests and jungles where it can rest undisturbed. Its design, resembling a sloth, contributes to its endearing, if somewhat comical, appeal among fans.
