Read more ↓Vigoroth, the Wild Monkey Pokémon, is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is the middle stage of the Slakoth evolutionary line, evolving from Slakoth and then into Slaking. Unlike its pre-evolution Slakoth, known for its extreme laziness, and its evolution Slaking, which is powerful but still prone to inactivity, Vigoroth is characterized by its boundless energy and inability to stay still for even a moment. This constant movement and high-strung nature are central to its Pokédex entries, which often describe it as being incredibly restless and needing to expend its energy through vigorous activity. Its natural habitat would likely be in forests or jungle-like environments where it has ample space to move and climb. In the games, Vigoroth serves as a speedy and moderately strong attacker before evolving into the much more powerful but slower Slaking. In the anime, Vigoroth often portrays a lively and energetic personality, reflecting its in-game characteristics. Its unique behavior makes it a memorable Pokémon, standing out from its evolutionary relatives.
