• Slakoth is incredibly laid-back and moves infrequently to conserve energy.

In Battle:

• Slakoth's unique ability, Truant, limits its battle effectiveness but can be strategically used to disrupt opponents.
• It possesses strong physical attacks like Body Slam and Hammer Arm.

• Vigoroth then evolves into Slaking at level 36.
