Slakoth (Japanese: ナマケロ Namakero) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Vigoroth starting at level 18, which evolves into Slaking starting at level 36.

Biology

Slakoth is a brown, quadruped Pokémon with sloth-like qualities. It has coarse, shaggy fur with two dark brown stripes on its back. There is a scruff of fur on top of its head, and it has a large, pig-like pink nose, pink eyelids, and dark rings around its eyes. It has long, lanky arms, but shorter legs. Each paw has two sharp claws, and there are pink paw pads on the back feet. Its underbelly and read are also pink.

Slakoth lolls around and sleeps for more than twenty hours a day, which can makes those around it drowsy. Since it does not move very much, it does not need much food and only eats three leaves each day. Its heart only beats once a minute. It is capable of regaining lost energy through use of its former signature move, Slack Off. It makes its nest in forests, and keeps the same one during its entire life. However, it can travel far by swimming in rivers.

In The Garden of Eatin', there were many Slakoth who lived in the Banana Slakoth Garden. A Snorlax was eating all the bananas in the garden and no one was able to stop it until one of the Slakoth in the garden evolved into Vigoroth and defeated it.
