Theoretically omnivorous, Slakoth rarely eat anything but plants and lice in the wild. They are happy with any food a Trainer gives them, but usually fall asleep with it half-eaten in their mouths. A single cracker is more than enough for their daily calorie needs.

Vigoroth’s endless energy makes it a public menace, especially because they always appear in herds without warning. Studies have tried to do studies on what makes a lazy Pokémon like Slakoth evolve, but any promising research has been cut short by sudden violent tragedy.

Slaking Curling is rapidly increasing in popularity throughout Hoenn, with simple rules and tense gameplay. Players slide food towards Slaking, hoping to stop as close as possible. If the food touches Slaking or is far enough to make Slaking move, the team loses.
