Read more ↓Vigoroth, the Wild Monkey Pokémon, is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It evolves from Slakoth starting at Level 18 and evolves into Slaking starting at Level 36. Vigoroth is known for its hyperactive and restless nature, a stark contrast to its pre-evolution Slakoth and its evolution Slaking, both of whom are characterized by extreme laziness. Vigoroth constantly paces and cannot stay still for even a moment, needing to vent its excess energy. Its heart beats at a tenfold tempo, fueling its unending need for activity. This behavior is a core aspect of its identity in the games, where its ability, Vital Spirit, prevents it from falling asleep. In the anime, Vigoroth has been featured in various episodes, often showcasing its energetic personality and powerful attacks. Its unique evolutionary line, with its stark behavioral differences between stages, makes it a memorable Pokémon in the franchise, highlighting themes of energy and sloth.
