Summary

Slakoth is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Type: Normal

Abilities:

  • Truant: This unique ability makes Slakoth only able to attack every other turn, reflecting its lazy nature.

Physical Characteristics:

  • Slakoth resembles a sloth with a simplistic design, characterized by a brown body and a tuft of cream fur on its head.
  • It has a short, stubby tail and limbs that end in three claws.
  • Its eyes often appear half-closed, giving it a perpetually sleepy expression.

Behavior and Habitat:

  • Slakoth is known for its extremely lazy lifestyle, spending its days sleeping in trees.
  • It inhabits forests and jungles where it can hang from branches and conserve energy.
  • Slakoth moves infrequently, only doing so to change its sleeping location or to eat.

In Battle:

  • While its ability, Truant, limits its usefulness in battle, Slakoth can surprise opponents with powerful Normal-type moves.
  • Notable moves include Slack Off, which restores its health, and Body Slam, which can paralyze opponents.
  • Despite its limitations, Slakoth can be used strategically in battle to absorb hits and retaliate with strong attacks.

Evolution:

  • Slakoth evolves into Vigoroth starting at level 18.
  • Vigoroth, in turn, evolves into Slaking at level 36, which retains the Truant ability but gains significantly enhanced stats.

Interesting Facts:

  • Slakoth's laid-back nature and energy conservation is a reflection of real-world sloths, which also have slow metabolisms.
  • Despite its laziness, Slakoth has a surprisingly fast heartbeat of over 100 beats per minute.
  • In the Pokémon world, Slakoth is often seen as a symbol of relaxation and tranquility.
