Read more ↓Vigoroth, the Wild Monkey Pokémon, is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III as part of the Hoenn region. It evolves from Slakoth starting at level 18 and then evolves into Slaking starting at level 36. Unlike its pre-evolution Slakoth, known for its extreme laziness, and its evolution Slaking, which is also notoriously lethargic, Vigoroth is characterized by its inability to stay still. It is constantly agitated and brimming with energy, needing to move constantly to relieve its stress. This unique behavior makes it a stark contrast to its evolutionary relatives, embodying a perpetual state of restlessness. In the games, Vigoroth's ability, Vital Spirit, prevents it from falling asleep, further emphasizing its energetic nature. In the anime, Vigoroth often appears in episodes showcasing its boundless energy and sometimes its mischievous side. Its unique evolutionary line, with such contrasting behaviors, offers an interesting narrative on the extremes of activity and inactivity within the Pokémon world, making it a memorable creature for many fans.
