#289 Slaking

Slaking (Japaneseケッキング Kekking) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves from Vigoroth starting at level 36. It is the final form of Slakoth.

Slaking is a large, bulky, ape-like bipedal Pokémon. Most of its shaggy fur is brown, along with the semi-circle patterning under its eyes. Its face, chest, hands, and feet are lighter in color. Its brows are thick and jutting, and it has a large, pink pig-like snout. Around its neck is a white collar of fur that extends over the top of its head before ending in a small tuft. It has large, five-fingered hands and two-toed feet.

During most of the day, Slaking lolls around and sleeps. It is considered the laziest Pokémon, but even when it is lounging it’s saving energy. It can exert a lot of power by releasing built-up energy all at once and is said to be feared for its immense strength. Slaking lives in tropical forests, where it feeds on grass and ripened fruit that falls from trees. It only moves around when there is no more food within reach for it to eat. As mentioned in the Sleep Style Dex, it is rare to see Slaking dozing off while consuming the grass around it.

In Generation IIISlack Off was its signature move. Prior to Generation V and in Generation IX, Slaking and its unevolved form, Slakoth, are the only known Pokémon that can have Truant as an Ability.”-Bulbapedia.
