Read more ↓Vigoroth, the Wild Monkey Pokémon, is a Normal-type creature introduced in Generation III. It is the middle stage of the Slakoth evolution line, evolving from Slakoth and then into Slaking. Unlike its pre-evolution Slakoth, known for its extreme laziness, and its evolution Slaking, which is equally lethargic but incredibly powerful, Vigoroth is characterized by its inability to stay still. It constantly moves, running around erratically and needing to release its pent-up energy. This hyperactive nature is a core aspect of its behavior, making it a stark contrast to its evolutionary relatives. In the games, its ability, Vital Spirit, prevents it from falling asleep, further emphasizing its restless disposition. Vigoroth often dwells in forests and jungles, where it can freely express its boundless energy. Its diet likely consists of fruits and berries found in its natural habitat. In the anime, Vigoroth has appeared in various episodes, often showcasing its energetic and sometimes chaotic personality. Its unique behavior within the Slakoth family line makes it a memorable Pokémon, highlighting the diverse biological adaptations found in the Pokémon world.
