==Trivia==
*Sliggoo will only evolve during rain on the overworld. Rain caused by [[Rain Dance]] will not trigger evolution.
===Origin===
Sliggoo appears to be based on a slug or a snail. It may also be based on the {{wp|Lou Carcolh}}, a mythical serpent/mollusk creature from French folklore.

====Name origin====
Sliggoo may be a combination of ''slick'', ''slimy'', ''slug'', and ''goo''.

Numeiru is from 滑る ''numeru'' (to be slippery) and ''snail''.

Old Amber

2013-10-24T23:51:41Z

Itchicken: /* In the games */

[[File:Bag Old Amber Sprite.png|frame]]
The '''Old Amber''' (Japanese: '''ひみつのコハク''' ''Secret Amber'') is a [[Fossil]] which can be regenerated into {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

The Old Amber is different than the other Fossils, being a type of fossilized substance rather than a Fossil named by its appearance; however, the Aerodactyl skeleton in Pewter City Museum implies that it does have its own fossilized remains.

==In the games==
In the Generation I and III games, Old Amber is a [[key item]] obtained in a back room of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], from one of the scientists, who believes that it could be resurrected. {{m|Cut}} is required to access the room, as it is blocked by a cuttable tree. It is given to the {{player}} by one of the scientists working there. If brought to the [[Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]], Old Amber can be regenerated into an {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, it is no longer a key item, being demoted to simply an item. It can be found by mining in [[the Underground]] after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. If brought to the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]], Old Amber can be regenerated into an {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Old Amber can be found randomly by {{m|Rock Smash|smashing rocks}} at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. If brought to the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], Old Amber can be regenerated into an {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

In {{2v2|Black|White}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a {{tc|Worker}} in the [[Ice Rock]] room of [[Twist Mountain]] hands out a random Fossil from previous generations, including Old Amber, once per day. If brought to the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene Museum]], Old Amber can be regenerated into an {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

Rocks purchased in {{DL|Join Avenue|Antique Shop}}s of Black 2 and White 2's [[Join Avenue]] may contain Old Amber.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Old Amber can be found randomly in [[Glittering Cave]] by {{m|Rock Smash|smashing rocks}}. If brought to the Fossil Laboratory, Old Amber can be regenerated into an {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

==In the TCG==
Old Amber was introduced into the {{Trading Card Game}} in {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}}. Prior to its introduction, {{p|Aerodactyl}} must be evolved from the {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} card.

*{{wp|Amber}} is fossilized tree resin commonly found with insects trapped inside of it. The Old Amber is based on the theory of extracting DNA from the blood still preserved inside the insect to bring back past lifeforms.

'''Aerodactyl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プテラ''' ''Ptera'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Flying}} [[Fossil]] Pokémon.

It is resurrected from an [[Old Amber]], and while is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can [[Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Aerodactyl''' using the [[Aerodactylite]].

==Biology==
Aerodactyl is a large, bipedal Pokémon. Its head has two vicious eyes, pointed ears and a mouth full of serrated fangs. It has light violet-gray skin over much of its body, two pale violet membranes stretched between its arms and sides. Aerodactyl has plate-like spines going down its back, leading to its strong, triangular spade-tipped tail. Its talon-like feet are capable of scooping up, and tightly clutching any prey or victim unlucky enough to have Aerodactyl swoop down upon them.

Due to the sharp appearance of Aerodactyl's fangs, it was originally throught to be a {{wp|carnivore}}. However, [[SS01|the anime]] shows it joyfully consuming fruit. Still, its sharp fangs are very imposing, and are said to be used to easily rip out the throats of its enemies. With its impressive wings, Aerodactyl is well at home within the skies. It fearlessly sores high, letting out its high pitched cries freely. When at rest it enjoys the safety and seclusion of the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|mountains}} where it likes to nest. Aerodactyl is extant through the use of fossil revitalization, but is considered extinct in the wild.

When Mega Evolved as Mega Aerodactyl, this Pokémon becomes paler in color and gains multiple spikes all over its body: five on each wing replacing its hands, three on its tail, one large spike on its back and one on the back of each talon-like feet. It has five further spikes on its head, two replacing its pointed ears, two on the sides of its face and one on its chin, along with two black eyebrow-like sections above its eyes. It also has three dark marks on its chest, two small marks and a longer mark between the other two.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kenzo Aerodactyl.png|250px|thumb|right|Aerodactyl in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Aerodactyl first appeared in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. It scared off the other [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon that were chasing {{Ash}} and {{TRT}}. It then kidnapped the young [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]], who was rescued by his {{AP|Charizard}}. {{Todd}} took a photo of this Aerodactyl, which was seen in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]''. The same Aerodactyl appeared in a flashback in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

Fossils of {{p|Kabutops}} and Aerodactyl were resurrected by {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]] in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''; in the English dub, they were once used by an evil Pokémon Trainer to torment the civilians of [[Alto Mare]], but were drowned when a {{p|Latios}} brought water to the city. They were sent to chase after Ash and {{mov|Latias|Latias|5}}. They have blank, yellow-tinted eyes with no pupils and are lined with a thick black outline.

''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'' featured an Aerodactyl that was revived by [[Gary Oak]]. The Aerodactyl seemed to enjoy eating a pear-like fruit that grew in the forests of an island. [[Team Rocket]] agents [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] wanted to steal this Aerodactyl in order to present it to [[Dr. Namba]], but were stopped by [[Gary's Umbreon]] and {{p|Dodrio}}, and the Aerodactyl itself, who sent the two Rockets flying with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

Another Aerodactyl appeared in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', where it terrorized [[Oreburgh City]] after being revived from its Fossil state, until it was caught by [[Dr. Kenzo]].

===Minor appearances===
Two Aerodactyl can be seen flying within the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. Also, one appeared in the opening of the movie.

A {{pkmn2|Mirage}} Aerodactyl appeared in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' to kidnap {{an|Professor Oak}} and [[Dr. Yung]].

An Aerodactyl made a brief cameo in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

An Aerodactyl appeared in the opening scenes of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Aerodactyl was originally known as "Ptera", its Japanese name.
* During its first appearance in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', it was mentioned that Aerodactyl was carnivorous, based on its teeth (and the reactions of the other Fossil Pokémon when it arrived). However, in ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', it is shown and proven to be at least omnivorous, based on its joyful consumption of fruit.
* Aerodactyl is the only [[Fossil]] Pokémon that does not have an evolution or pre-evolution.
** It is also the only Fossil Pokémon that can be obtained in any way other than breeding it or reviving its Fossil: it is available through an [[in-game trade]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and is one of [[Hayley's trades]].
*** The trade in [[Generation II]] was removed in {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, likely due to the fact that the [[Old Amber]] could be obtained and revived in these games, unlike in Generation II.
* Aerodactyl is the fastest {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, with a base Speed of 130.
* Aerodactyl is one of the four non-Hoenn Dex Pokémon available in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]. The others are {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}.

===Origin===
It appears to be based upon {{wp|pterosaur}}s, prehistoric flying reptiles, particularly the {{wp|rhamphorhynchoidea}} branch, due to Aerodactyl's possession of teeth and a long tail. It also seems to possess some {{wp|dragon}}-like characteristics, such as that of a {{wp|wyvern}}, a two legged variety of dragon, which would explain its being on Lance's team.

====Name origin====
Aerodactyl is a combination of ''aero'' ({{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for ''air'') and ''{{wp|pterodactyl}}''.

Ptera derives from ''{{wp|pterosaur}}''.

Escape Rope

2013-03-03T08:28:27Z

Itchicken: /* Ways to obtain */

{{incomplete|needs=template, hgss description}}
The '''Escape Rope''' (Japanese: '''あなぬけのヒモ''' ''Hole-Escape Rope'') is an item available in all of the handheld Pokémon games to date. They originally cost {{PDollar}}550 each at [[Poké Mart]]s, but this was changed to {{PDollar}}250 in {{game|Platinum}} (although this was reverted to the original {{PDollar}}550 in {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}). It can also be found lying around on the ground within the game, or held by Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Pickup}}.

Escape Ropes are used, in places such as caves, to warp back to the last Pokémon Center player healed at (or home if player never healed in Pokémon Center) in Generation I, and the entrance from which the player entered since Generation II. This effect alleviates the necessity to have a Pokémon with {{m|Dig}} in the party, when a player wants to exit a cave or similar location quickly.

To date, {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} are the only games that have no use for the Escape Rope; because of this, trading is required to obtain the Escape Rope in these games. Due to the different map system used in those games, the Escape Rope's only use in those games is to either sell it for money or trade it back to a handheld game.

The Escape Rope cannot be used to escape from the [[Spear Pillar]], the [[Distortion World]], or the [[Hall of Origin]], as they are all considered to be outside of Mt. Coronet by the games' programming. It also cannot be used in [[Turnback Cave]].

The Escape Rope is required for an Unown puzzle in {{v2|Crystal}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Using it opens up a room containing four healing items.

'''Vigoroth''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤルキモノ''' ''Yarukimono'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Slakoth}} starting at [[level]] 18 and evolves into {{p|Slaking}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Vigoroth is a white, sloth-like Pokémon, with a teardrop-shaped tuft of red fur on its forehead. It has stubby, barely noticeable ears, two small, triangular visible teeth in each jaw, and large eyes encircled by brown rings. The two stripes on its back and maw are also brown in coloration. It arms are fairly long in proportion to its body, and its hands and feet are equipped with two sharp black claws. The underside of its hands and feet have circular red coloration, its rear also having a baboon-like patch of red. The fur on its chest, tail, and sides of its maw are shaggy.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Vigoroth can make use of their arms by spinning them in order to attack opponents or anything that gets in its way.

===Behavior===
Vigoroth cannot keep still because of its extremely fast heartbeat. This causes much aggression and speed, unlike the Pokémon that evolves into it, {{p|Slakoth}}, and its final evolution, {{p|Slaking}}.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Vigoroth live in forests. It appears to also be drawn towards colder climates as the Mystery Dungeon series places it in areas covered in ice.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Marcel Vigoroth.png|220px|right|thumb|Vigoroth in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
[[Norman]]'s Vigoroth appeared several times in the anime, the first being in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''. It also appeared in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'' and in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'' where it was used in a Gym battle against {{Ash}}. It defeated [[Ash's Torkoal]] due to its speed but the match against {{AP|Pikachu}} ended in a draw due to it being {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by Pikachu.

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', a {{p|Snorlax}} was causing trouble for a man named [[Marcel]] by eating the bananas in his {{p|Slakoth}} Banana Garden. No one was able to stop it until one of the Slakoth in the garden evolved into Vigoroth and defeated Snorlax allowing Marcel to capture it.

===Minor appearances===
Several Vigoroth appeared in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', pursuing {{OBP|Zorua|M13}} until they were driven away by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon, {{AP|Infernape}} and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|AG003|Vigoroth|Ash's Pokédex|Vigoroth, the Wild Monkey Pokémon. Vigoroth is only comfortable going berserk. Will destroy anything in its path by spinning both arms, and goes more berserk when done.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Norman Vigoroth Adventures.png|thumb|Vigoroth in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Like in the games, a Vigoroth debuts in ''[[PS185|VS. Nuzleaf]]'' under the possession of the [[Petalburg Gym]] Leader [[Norman]]. who uses it as one of his most valued fighters. Its battling method mainly makes usage of its adroit speed, with which it often shoots the enemy's attacks back at them.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Clyde]] uses a Vigoroth to back up his {{p|Slaking}}.
* The Vigoroth were used as Pokémon movers in {{v2|Emerald}}.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

==Trivia==
* Vigoroth, {{p|Cascoon}}, {{p|Seadra}}, and {{p|Swadloon}} are the only Pokémon who lose one of their pre-evolution's [[Ability]], then regain it upon evolution to their final form.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], Vigoroth was the only Pokémon that could learn {{m|Focus Punch}} by leveling up.
*Because the only ability Vigoroth can have is Vital Spirit, it is impossible to tuck in a Vigoroth into the Pokémon Dream World.
===Origin===
Vigoroth appear to be based on sloths, possibly the {{wp|ground sloth}} in particular.

====Name origin====
Vigoroth is a combination of ''vigor'' and ''{{wp|sloth}}''. It may also be a play on ''vigorous''.

Yarukimono may be a combination of やる気 ''yaruki'' (willingness) and 樹懶 ''namakemono'' (sloth).

'''Vigoroth''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤルキモノ''' ''Yarukimono'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Slakoth}} starting at [[level]] 18 and evolves into {{p|Slaking}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Vigoroth is a white, sloth-like Pokémon, with a teardrop-shaped tuft of red fur on its forehead. It has stubby, barely noticeable ears, two small, triangular visible teeth in each jaw, and large eyes encircled by brown rings. The two stripes on its back and maw are also brown in coloration. It arms are fairly long in proportion to its body, and its hands and feet are equipped with two sharp black claws. The underside of its hands and feet have circular red coloration, its rear also having a baboon-like patch of red. The fur on its chest, tail, and sides of its maw are shaggy.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Vigoroth can make use of their arms by spinning them in order to attack opponents or anything that gets in its way.

===Behavior===
Vigoroth cannot keep still because of its extremely fast heartbeat. This causes much aggression and speed, unlike the Pokémon that evolves into it, {{p|Slakoth}}, and its final evolution, {{p|Slaking}}.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Vigoroth live in forests. It appears to also be drawn towards colder climates as the Mystery Dungeon series places it in areas covered in ice.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Marcel Vigoroth.png|220px|right|thumb|Vigoroth in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
[[Norman]]'s Vigoroth appeared several times in the anime, the first being in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''. It also appeared in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'' and in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'' where it was used in a Gym battle against {{Ash}}. It defeated [[Ash's Torkoal]] due to its speed but the match against {{AP|Pikachu}} ended in a draw due to it being {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by Pikachu.

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', a {{p|Snorlax}} was causing trouble for a man named [[Marcel]] by eating the bananas in his {{p|Slakoth}} Banana Garden. No one was able to stop it until one of the Slakoth in the garden evolved into Vigoroth and defeated Snorlax allowing Marcel to capture it.

===Minor appearances===
Several Vigoroth appeared in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', pursuing {{OBP|Zorua|M13}} until they were driven away by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon, {{AP|Infernape}} and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG003|Vigoroth|Ash's Pokédex|Vigoroth, the Wild Monkey Pokémon. Vigoroth is only comfortable going berserk. Will destroy anything in its path by spinning both arms, and goes more berserk when done.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Norman Vigoroth Adventures.png|thumb|Vigoroth in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Like in the games, a Vigoroth debuts in ''[[PS185|VS. Nuzleaf]]'' under the possession of the [[Petalburg Gym]] Leader [[Norman]]. who uses it as one of his most valued fighters. Its battling method mainly makes usage of its adroit speed, with which it often shoots the enemy's attacks back at them.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Vigoroth (TCG)}}

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Clyde]] uses a Vigoroth to back up his {{p|Slaking}}.
* The Vigoroth were used as Pokémon movers in {{v2|Emerald}}.

===Pokédex entries===

==Trivia==
* Vigoroth, {{p|Cascoon}}, {{p|Seadra}}, and {{p|Swadloon}} are the only Pokémon who lose one of their pre-evolution's [[Ability]], then regain it upon evolution to their final form.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], Vigoroth was the only Pokémon that could learn {{m|Focus Punch}} by leveling up.
*Because the only ability Vigoroth can have is Vital Spirit, it is impossible it tuck in a Vigoroth into the Pokémon Dream World.
===Origin===
Vigoroth appear to be based on sloths, possibly the {{wp|ground sloth}} in particular.

====Name origin====
Vigoroth is a combination of ''vigor'' and ''{{wp|sloth}}''. It may also be a play on ''vigorous''.

Yarukimono may be a combination of やる気 ''yaruki'' (willingness) and 樹懶 ''namakemono'' (sloth).
