Vigoroth is a speedy and energetic monkey-like Pokémon that was introduced in the third generation games. It is the middle form of Slakoth's evolutionary line and evolves into Slaking.

Information[edit]

Vigoroth evolves from Slakoth at Level 18. Its heart beats at a tenfold tempo, so it is incapable of standing still for even a minute due to its blood boiling with energy, in contrast to Slakoth and Slowking's easygoing ways. Vigoroth's stress level rises if it is not in constant movement, and too much stress makes it sick. They run through fields and mountains in order to calm themselves by day, and if they fail they will be unable to sleep at night. Most of the time when it tries to sleep, the blood in Vigoroth's veins will grow agitated and compel it to run around the jungle before it can settle down.

Vigoroth are usually always hungry due to all the time that they wind up dedicating to their rampaging, and they cannot stay still even when trying to eat a meal. Perhaps due to their energy, they are sometimes employed as movers (as seen in Emerald). It evolves into Slaking at Level 36.
