It is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.<br /> <br /> ==Biology==<br /> ===Physiology===<br /> Slaking are large, bulky, ape-like Pokémon. Most of their fur is brown in coloration, along with the ring patterning encircling their eyes, but their face, chest, hands and feet are lighter in color. Their brows are thick and jutting. Slaking have a white collar of fur around their necks, extending towards the top of their head in a small tuft, somewhat resembling a bonnet. Slaking also have a large, pink, pig like nose.<br /> <br /> ====Gender differences====<br /> None.<br /> <br /> ====Special abilities====<br /> While this Pokémon doesn't appear to do much most of the time, it has immense physical strength, stamina and surprisingly enough, speed. Much like other Normal-types, it can be taught quite a number of elemental attacks. <br /> Although its ability often hinders it in battle and prevents it from making the most out of its impressive stats, Slaking can be surprisingly useful in double battles when paired up with other Pokémon that possess the move {{m|Skill Swap}}.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> Slaking are the laziest of all Pokémon. They spend most of their time lying in grassy fields to eat, barely doing anything; however, when threatened, they will suddenly get up and strike with great power. If the grass they've eaten around them is gone, they move to a new spot with more grass.<br /> <br /> ===Habitat===<br /> [[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]<br /> Slaking live in dense forests, but are very difficult to find.<br /> <br /> ===Diet===<br /> {{main|Pokémon food}}<br /> Slaking usually eat grass that is in reach of them. Slaking also eat fruit, but they just wait until the fruits fall down from the trees instead of just climbing up and picking them.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[File:Norman Slaking.png|right|thumb|210px|Norman and his Slaking]]<br /> ===Major appearances===<br /> {{TP|Norman|Slaking}} made its debut appearance in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'', belonging to {{an|May}}'s father, [[Norman]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Petalburg City]]. In [[AG070|the following episode]], {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}} defeated it in battle, winning Ash the {{badge|Balance}}. Slaking appeared again in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' watching the [[Wallace Cup]] on television with Norman.<br /> <br /> A giant Slaking appeared in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', but it was a robot controlled by [[Team Rocket]].<br /> <br /> ===Minor appearances===<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|AG069|Slaking|May's Pokédex|Slaking, the Lazy Pokémon.

It is tied with {{p|Regigigas}} and is surpassed by {{p|Rampardos}} and {{p|Deoxys}}'s [[Form differences#Deoxys|Attack Forme]].<br /> *At 670, Slaking has the highest base stat total of any non-legendary Pokémon, tying with the legendary Pokémon {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}.<br /> *Although Slaking is said to slack off like {{p|Slakoth}}, it gains a higher speed stat upon evolving from {{p|Vigoroth}} (Although Vigoroth does not have Truant).<br /> *In double battles, one can nullify Slaking's Truant ability by using either {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Gastro Acid}}. Several trainers in {{game|Emerald}} use this power, including [[Norman]] during the player's rematches with him. Cipher Head Evice is the very first Trainer in any game to use this tactic. Without Truant, Slaking can make full use of its impressive stats.<br /> *Slaking is commonly mistaken as a [[Pseudo-legendary|Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon]] because of its incredibly high base stats, however it isn't one because it lacks having two different types and its base stat total is not 600.<br /> *In Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire, Norman has two Slaking, one at Lv.28 and another at Lv.31. This is technically impossible, as Vigoroth evolves into Slaking at Lv.36. The problem still remains in Pokémon Emerald, but Norman only has one Slaking, at Lv.31.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Origin===<br /> It appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|sloth}}s and some form of {{wp|ape}}. The inspiration from sloths makes it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Megatherium}}, also known as the Giant Ground Sloth, however, it more closely resembles a {{wp|gorilla}}.<br /> ====Name origin====<br /> Slaking's name is a combination of ''slake'', meaning to slacken, and ''king''. It may also be a play on the word ''slacking''.<br /> <br /> ''Kekking'' is a combination of 怠ける ''namakeru'', to be idle, or 怠け者 ''namakemono'', sloth, and ''king''. Or, 欠勤(Kekkin/Absence) and King might be combined.<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> *[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Letarking<br /> *[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Monaflemit - From ''monarch'' and ''flemme'' (slacking off).<br /> *[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 게을킹 ''Ge-eulking''&lt;!-- ''''--&gt;<br /> *[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 請假王 ''Qǐng Jià Wáng'' - 請假 (to request for a leave of absence) may come from the Japanese 欠勤 ''kekkin'' (absence), which can be found in its Japanese name Kekking. The last character means king.<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> * [[Norman's Slaking]]<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> <br /> {{PokémonPrevNext | prev=Vigoroth | next=Nincada |type=normal|| prevnum=288| nextnum=290}}<br /> {{Project Pokédex notice}}<br /> <br /> [[de:Letarking]]<br /> [[es:Slaking]]<br /> [[fr:Monaflèmit]]<br /> [[ja:ケッキング]]<br /> [[pl:Slaking]]<br /> [[pt:Slaking (pokémon)]]</div>

They have glossy brown plumage with a small crest. It also bears black plumage on its forehead that resembles eyebrows.<br /> ====Gender differences====<br /> None.<br /> <br /> ===Special abilities===<br /> Its wings are a bit more versatile than most birds' as their feathers can be used as &quot;fingers,&quot; allowing it to carry a leek, or spring onion. The leeks they carry can be used as a weapon, allowing them to use moves like {{m|Night Slash}}, {{m|Poison Jab}}, {{m|Fury Cutter}}, and {{m|Leaf Blade}}.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> Farfetch'd are always seen carrying a leek stalk, or spring onion. They carry it in their wings, sometimes choosing to hold it in their beaks instead and holding it in their feet when flying. Farfetch'd cannot live without its stick for unknown reasons, and will defend their stick with their life. The stick is also known to be used as nesting material and as a weapon. In case of an emergency situation where the Farfetch'd is starving, it will eat its own stick and hurry off to find a new one.<br /> <br /> They are known to be picky in the kinds of sticks they accept. Farfetch'd have been known to fight each other over one 'good' stalk.<br /> <br /> ===Habitat===<br /> [[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]<br /> Farfetch'd are found in grasslands, but it always has to be near water. Farfetch'd are also very good swimmers and are often found swimming in ponds. Farfetch'd are quite rare and are normally caught in [[Johto]], although has been sighted in [[Kanto]] and [[Sinnoh]].<br /> <br /> ===Diet===<br /> {{main|Pokémon food}}<br /> Farfetch'd are an omnivorous species and will usually eat weeds and water plants.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[File:SoNearYetSoFarfetch'd.gif|right|thumb|Farfetch'd in the anime]]<br /> ===Major appearances===<br /> Farfetch'd made its first appearance in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]'' under the ownership of {{ka|Keith}}.<br /> <br /> It was also showcased in ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]'' where [[Team Rocket]] planned to eat it, an aspect of [[Pokémon world]] rarely touched on in the anime.<br /> <br /> ===Minor appearances===<br /> In ''[[EP098|A Way Off, Day Off]]'', Farfetch'd lived on a deserted island which is the home of many different fruit trees.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', multiple Farfetch'd appeared when {{an|Crystal}} whistles.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit]]'', a Farfetch'd was used by {{an|Brock}}'s battle partner [[Holly]] against {{Ash}} and [[Paul]].<br /> <br /> [[Wilkinson]] used a Farfetch'd in the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]] in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]''.<br /> <br /> A Farfetch'd appeared in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Animedexheader|Kanto}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|EP049|Farfetch'd|Ash's Pokédex|Farfetch'd, a Wild Duck Pokémon.

It can, however, learn it through a move tutor in {{v2|Platinum}}.<br /> * Farfetch'd is one of the few Pokémon to continuously carry something they pick up or find. Others include {{p|Cubone}}, {{p|Marowak}}, and {{p|Spoink}}.<br /> * Farfetch'd is the only non-glitch Pokémon with an apostrophe in its name.<br /> ** Farfetch'd is also one of eight non-glich Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.<br /> * Farfetch'd is so far the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 352.<br /> * According to the anime, Farfetch'd are rare because of over-hunting them to be eaten. Counting {{p|Miltank}}'s [[MooMoo Milk|milk]], {{p|Tropius}}'s fruit, and {{p|Slowpoke}}'s {{DL|Valuable item|Slowpoketail|tail}}, Farfetch'd is one of the few Pokémon confirmed to be used in any way for food.<br /> <br /> ===Origin===<br /> {{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Farfetch'd}}<br /> Farfetch'd's origin might come from legends of a duck that carries a leek coming to lost and starving travelers in forests, offering itself to be eaten. Also, it may come from a certain Japanese saying: {{tt|鴨が葱を背負って来る|Kamo ga negi wo shotte kuru}}, literally translating to 'a duck comes bearing {{wp|Welsh onion|green onions}}'. As a saying, it means 'something surprising but convenient'. The phrase can be shortened simply to {{tt|鴨葱|kamo negi}}. <br /> <br /> ====Name origin====<br /> Farfetch'd's name comes from the word ''far-fetched'', which means unlikely. It could also refer to the game of {{wp|fetch}}, which animals play using sticks. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鴨 ''kamo'', {{wp|Mallard|wild duck}}, and 葱 ''negi'', {{wp|spring onion}}. Additionally, 鴨葱 ''kamonegi'' is an abbreviation of 鴨が葱をしょって来る, literally meaning 'a duck comes bearing {{wp|Welsh onion|green onions}}' which as a saying means 'something surprising but convenient'.<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> *[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Porenta - A combination of ''Porree'' (leek) and ''Ente'' (duck).<br /> *[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Canarticho - From ''canard'' (duck) and ''artichau'' (artichoke), a reference to the vegetable in its hand.<br /> *[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 파오리 ''Paori'' - From &quot;파&quot; (pa, onion/scallion) and &quot;오리&quot; (ori, duck).<br /> *[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 大蔥鴨 ''Dà Cōng Yā'' - Literally &quot;Big scallion duck&quot;.<br /> *[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 火蔥鴨 - 火蔥, {{wp|Shallot}}, and 蔥 is the Chinese version of 葱.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> {{PokémonPrevNext | type=normal | type2=flying | prevnum=082 | nextnum=084 | prev=Magneton | next=Doduo }}<br /> {{Project Pokédex notice}}<br /> <br /> [[de:Porenta]]<br /> [[es:Farfetch'd]]<br /> [[fr:Canarticho]]<br /> [[ja:カモネギ]]<br /> [[pl:Farfetch'd]]<br /> [[pt:Farfetch’d (pokémon)]]</div>

Its dark blue to gray body is covered in white fur, with a ruff around its neck and chest, and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. It has a cat-like face, a scythe-like tail and a sickle-shaped growth on the side of its head. Its body is sleek and feline-like, making it well suited for its life in the mountains. Its broad, circular feet are equipped with three claws each, and spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its anterior legs. <br /> <br /> ====Gender differences====<br /> None<br /> <br /> ====Special abilities====<br /> Absol is able to predict when a natural disaster will occur, and tries to warn people when one is approaching. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> It sharply senses even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict natural disasters. Although Absol rarely venture down into areas inhabited by humans, when they do it is to warn people of the impending catastrophe.<br /> <br /> ===Habitat===<br /> [[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]<br /> Absol tend to live in mountainous regions far away from people.<br /> <br /> ===Diet===<br /> {{main|Pokémon food}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[File:Absolmovie6.png|right|250px|thumb|Absol in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'']]<br /> Absol first appeared in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. The Disaster Pokémon showed up to take {{p|Jirachi}} back to [[Forina]]. However, Absol wasn't the true villain of the movie. It was Butler, because he wanted to forcibly extract Jirachi's power to create a {{p|Groudon}}.<br /> <br /> The Disaster Pokémon also appeared in ''[[AG107|Absol-ute Disaster]]''. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. {{Ash}} and friends (along with a boy named [[Nicky]]) went out to search whether or not the accusations were true. They found out that the Absol were actually warning the town about a flood. <br /> <br /> [[Drew]] captured and trained an Absol for the [[Kanto]] [[Grand Festival]], as seen in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''<br /> <br /> An Absol appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]'', captured by the evil [[Pokémon Hunter|Hunter]] [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]] after [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Melodi]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}} and [[Team Rocket]]'s {{MTR}} got stolen. The Absol was returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokémon and some of J's minions were arrested.<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|AG107|Absol|May's Pokédex|Absol, the Disaster Pokémon.

It first appears to {{adv|Ruby}}, who shudders in fear immediately. Absol is also present in the feud between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. Like in the anime, Absol is accused of bringing disaster.<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> {{main|Absol (TCG)}}<br /> <br /> ==In the TFG==<br /> One Absol figure has been released.<br /> * {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Absol|8}}<br /> <br /> ==Game data==<br /> ===NPC appearances===<br /> * [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: An Absol trails the rescue team around the [[Frosty Forest]] and confronts them after the defeat of {{p|Articuno}}. Absol is initially suspicious of the Pokémon but eventually decides to join the rescue team and helps in the journey up [[Mt. Freeze]].<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Dex<br /> |type=dark<br /> |gen=3<br /> |rubydex=Every time Absol appears before people, it is followed by a disaster such as an earthquake or a tidal wave.

In addition to Slash itself, it can learn {{m|Night Slash}}, {{m|Psycho Cut}} and {{m|Shadow Claw}}. The only variation Absol cannot learn is {{m|Cross Poison}}.<br /> * Absol is the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] featured on the box art for [[Pokémon Box Ruby and Sapphire]], though it often appears in legends.<br /> <br /> ===Origin===<br /> Absol is most likely based off of the {{wp|kutabe}}, a white beast that can take the form of a lion (or a bovine) that predicted that a plague would sweep through the Toyama Prefecture of Japan. It is considered to be intelligent, and gifted with the ability to understand human speech. This would also match the fact of Absol's independence, habitat, and body seeing to be reminiscent of a {{wp|mountain lion|cougar}} and its independent nature. <br /> A much less likely theory is a reference to the {{wp|barghest}}, a monstrous black dog in English folklore. Seeing one was believed to portend imminent death or misfortune, but unlike the Barghest, Absol warns people about disasters. It may be also be based on the {{wp|black cat}} superstition. Absol's head is modeled after a {{wp|Yin and yang|Taijitu (&quot;yin-yang&quot;)}}. <br /> ====Name origin====<br /> Absol's name may be derived from 物騒 ''bussō'', dangerous, but much debate exists over the true origin of its name. One common theory is that it is a combination of ''ab-'', a prefix meaning away/from, and ''sol'', meaning sun, referring to its {{type2|Dark}} nature. It could also be a shortened form of &quot;absolution&quot; or &quot;absolve&quot;, referring to the fact that while Absol foretells disasters, it does not cause them, thereby absolving it of guilt.<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> *[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Absol<br /> *[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Absol<br /> *[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 앱솔 ''Absol''&lt;!-- ''''--&gt;<br /> *[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 阿勃梭魯 ''Ā Bó Suō Lǔ'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name.<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://xemnas.net/absol/ Protector], the fanlisting for Absol<br /> <br /> {{PokémonPrevNext | prev=Chimecho | next=Wynaut | prevnum=358 | nextnum=360 | type=dark }}<br /> {{Project Pokédex notice}}<br /> <br /> [[de:Absol]]<br /> [[es:Absol]]<br /> [[fr:Absol]]<br /> [[ja:アブソル]]<br /> [[pl:Absol]]<br /> [[pt:Absol (pokémon)]]</div>

I mean, It isn't exactly as &quot;Openly&quot; advertized as their requesting donations of pokemon (though, really, in Eterna City, they most likely threatened/robbed them considering how one member, when you speak with him says &quot;Hey YOU!

I encountered a wild Sandshrew, but it was silver as if it was stuck in defense curl. It also showed the shiny twinkle animation when it entered battle. My friend, who also owns Ruby, claims to have also seen a wild silver sandshrew in the same place, as if it was a scripted encounter... Is there an explanation for this? Also note that at the time I did not know about shiny Pokemon or anything of the like so I ran away. [[User:Absolution|Absolution]] 15:42, 24 July 2010 (UTC)</div>

He is voiced by 石塚運昇 ''[[Unshō Ishizuka]]'' in Japanese and by [[Eric Stuart]] ([[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]]) and [[Bill Rogers]] ({{PUSA}}) in English.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> His first appearance in the anime was on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' selling {{p|Magikarp}} to anyone foolish enough to buy one. He would tell them that they would reproduce and make the buyer rich. [[James]] was foolish enough to buy one which later [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Gyarados}}. Some time after he appeared with the same &quot;selling strategy&quot; in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'' and ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]''. Later, in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', he would trade his [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Victreebel|Weepinbell]] for [[James's Victreebel]]. He has also appeared in [[Hoenn]], selling a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Hoppip}} disguised as {{p|Chimecho}} when James was searching for a Chimecho, and also selling Magikarp disguised as a {{p|Feebas}} for a {{an|Spoink}}'s [[Valuable item#Pearl and Big Pearl|pearl]] which [[Team Rocket]] stole. Both of them were successfully sold to Team Rocket.<br /> <br /> He tried his golden Magikarp scam on {{Tracey}} in ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' claiming that the Magikarp could lay golden [[eggs]]. However, unlike Team Rocket, Tracey was too smart to fall for this trick. The Magikarp Salesman ran off when he discovered that he had knocked on the door of [[Professor Oak's laboratory]].<br /> <br /> He made a cameo when {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}} in ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]''.<br /> <br /> His latest appearance was in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]''. He sold an Evolution machine/Mecha-bot to Team Rocket. While he did inform Team Rocket that the machine must warm up for at least a week before use, Team Rocket forgot to follow his instructions, which resulted in failure in evolving Pokémon and sustaining its Mecha-bot form. Therefore, it is unknown if this was another one of his scams, or if the machine would truly have worked. However, considering he ran off after telling them, it may have been another lie to keep them from following him.<br /> <br /> He is the main reason why Jessie has a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', he tries to sell a Magikarp to James, but James recognizes him as the one who tricked him into buying a Magikarp on the St. Anne, and chases after him, causing him to bump into Jessie, which sends her flying over to the trading machine. When she bumped into it, the Poké Ball containing her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} fell onto the trading machine, trading it with {{jo|Benny}}'s Wobbuffet, which he was trying to trade throughout the episode.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ====On hand====<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Magikarp salesman<br /> |pkmn=Magikarp<br /> |main=yes<br /> |type1=Water<br /> |img=Jessie magikarp.jpg<br /> |epnum=EP015<br /> |epname=Battle Aboard the St. Anne<br /> |vaen=Maddie Blaustein<br /> |desc=The Magikarp salesman, as his title implies, has a large amount of these {{p|Magikarp}} to sell to [[James|foolish customers]] for ridiculously high prices. He usually manages to sell them by telling the customer that he or she could sell the Magikarp hatched from this Magikarp's {{pkmn|egg}}s, and Magikarp hatched from ''those'' Magikarp's eggs and so forth, resulting in the potential customer getting rich. In reality, however, Magikarp is a completely useless Pokémon which cannot provide riches to anyone except for the Magikarp salesman himself, due to the ridiculous prices at which he sells his Magikarp.<br /> <br /> Sometimes the Magikarp salesman has also tried to sell his Magikarp by disguising them as {{p|Feebas}} and telling to the customer that it would evolve into {{p|Milotic}}, the most beautiful Pokémon in the world. Oddly, he has never tried any sort of similar tactic with selling Magikarp as is, by informing the customer that it would evolve into the powerful {{p|Gyarados}}. In ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution!]]'' he also tried to offer some special gifts for the customer if he or she buys a Magikarp.<br /> <br /> The Magikarp salesman's Magikarp mainly use {{m|Splash}}.

Later the new Weepibell evolved into a new {{p|Victreebel}}, and after it bit Jessie's hair, Jessie had her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to send it away.

It is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.<br /> <br /> ==Biology==<br /> ===Physiology===<br /> Slaking are large, bulky, ape-like Pokémon. Most of their fur is brown in coloration, along with the ring patterning encircling their eyes, but their face, chest, hands and feet are lighter in color. Their brows are thick and jutting. Slaking have a white collar of fur around their necks, extending towards the top of their head in a small tuft, somewhat resembling a bonnet. Slaking also have a large, pink, pig like nose.<br /> <br /> ====Gender differences====<br /> None.<br /> <br /> ====Special abilities====<br /> While this Pokémon doesn't appear to do much most of the time, it has immense physical strength, stamina and surprisingly enough, speed. Much like other Normal-types, it can be taught quite a number of elemental attacks. <br /> Although it's ability hinder it in battle and cannot make the most out of it's impressive stats, Slaking can be surprisingly useful in double battles when paired up with other Pokémon that possess the move {{m|Skill Swap}}.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> Slaking are the laziest of all Pokémon. They spend most of their time lying in grassy fields to eat, barely doing anything; however, when threatened, they will suddenly get up and strike with great power. If the grass they've eaten around them is gone, they move to a new spot with more grass.<br /> <br /> ===Habitat===<br /> [[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]<br /> [[File:Norman's Slaking.png|right|thumb|210px|Norman and his Slaking]]<br /> <br /> ===Diet===<br /> {{main|Pokémon food}}<br /> Slaking usually eat grass that is in reach of them. Slaking also eat fruit, but they just wait until the fruits fall down from the trees instead of just climbing up and picking them.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> {{TP|Norman|Slaking}} made its debut appearance in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'', belonging to {{an|May}}'s father, [[Norman]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Petalburg City]]. In [[AG070|the following episode]], {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}} defeated it in battle, winning Ash the {{badge|Balance}}.<br /> <br /> A giant Slaking appeared in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', but it was a robot controlled by [[Team Rocket]].<br /> <br /> [[Norman]]'s Slaking appeared in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' watching the [[Wallace Cup]] on television with Norman.<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|AG069|Slaking|May's Pokédex|Slaking, the Lazy Pokémon.

It is tied with {{p|Regigigas}} and is surpassed by {{p|Rampardos}} and {{p|Deoxys}}'s [[Form differences#Deoxys|Attack Forme]].<br /> *At 670, Slaking has the highest base stat total of any non-legendary Pokémon, tying with the legendary Pokémon {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}.<br /> *Although Slaking is said to slack off like {{p|Slakoth}}, it gains a higher speed stat upon evolving from {{p|Vigoroth}} (Although Vigoroth does not have Truant).<br /> *In double battles, Slaking's Truant ability can easily be nullified using {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Gastro Acid}}. Several trainers in {{game|Emerald}} use this power, including [[Norman]] during the player's rematches with him. Without Truant, Slaking can make full use of its impressive stats.<br /> *Slaking is commonly mistaken as a [[Pseudo-legendary|Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon]] because of its incredibly high base stats, however it isn't one because it lacks having two different types and its base stat total is not 600.<br /> *In Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire, Norman has two Slaking, one at Lv.28 and another at Lv.31. This is technically impossible, as Vigoroth evolves into Slaking at Lv.36. The problem still remains in Pokémon Emerald, but Norman only has one Slaking, at Lv.31.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Origin===<br /> It appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|sloth}}s and some form of {{wp|ape}}. The inspiration from sloths makes it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Megatherium}}, also known as the Giant Ground Sloth, however, it more closely resembles a {{wp|gorilla}}.<br /> ====Name origin====<br /> Slaking's name is a combination of ''slake'', meaning to slacken, and ''king''. It may also be a play on the word ''slacking''.<br /> <br /> ''Kekking'' is a combination of 怠ける ''namakeru'', to be idle, or 怠け者 ''namakemono'', sloth, and ''king''. Or, 欠勤(Kekkin/Absence) and King might be combined. <br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> *[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Letarking<br /> *[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Monaflemit - From ''monarch'' and ''flemme'' (slacking off).<br /> *[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 게을킹 ''Ge-eulking''&lt;!-- ''''--&gt;<br /> *[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 請假王 ''Qǐng Jià Wáng'' - 請假 (to request for a leave of absence) may come from the Japanese 欠勤 ''kekkin'' (absence), which can be found in its Japanese name Kekking. The last character means king.<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> * [[Norman's Slaking]]<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> <br /> {{PokémonPrevNext | prev=Vigoroth | next=Nincada |type=normal|| prevnum=288| nextnum=290}}<br /> {{Project Pokédex notice}}<br /> <br /> [[de:Letarking]]<br /> [[es:Slaking]]<br /> [[fr:Monaflèmit]]<br /> [[ja:ケッキング]]<br /> [[pl:Slaking]]<br /> [[pt:Slaking (pokémon)]]</div>

Meguroko’s eyes are round and sepia-colored, with a circular pattern of black around them stretching between each eye, giving the impression of an archetypical robber’s mask or a pair of glasses, with the ridges surrounding the eyes being large and protruding. Two thick black stripes are present down Meguroko’s back, stretching to its pink-colored underside and encompassing its tan-colored limbs, which sport three claws each that are also black; additionally, its tapered tail is tipped with the color.

If Disney never made a reference to the Fat lady then Looney Tunes would defiantly be the next best bet. Opera started in Italy if I am correct, and we can all think of two Italians that came from Japan and made Nintendo lots of money. If Nintendo could bank on '''Italian Plumbers''' as a mascot for a multi-billion dollar company, I'm sure they have been influenced by western culture.

[[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 18:07, 27 November 2008 (UTC)<br /> :::Registeel may have been unintentional, but I doubt it was a coincidence that it even resembled one of the most evil paramilitary totalitarian organizations of history. I mean, Team Rocket in the Anime has control of at least four areas (As the Sevii Islands appeared in the anime as well, I'd say they have a base located in Sevii Islands as well, as it did have one in the games.), and was implied to have taken over Hoenn at the end of the Hoenn arc, making five thus far, the fact that, out of all the criminal organizations that have debuted as of yet, they are currently the only ones who have had access to military grade vehicles (''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' had JJM using a Tank, as well as a Submarine capable of firing weapons that could destroy a city in some episodes, as well as the fact that they owned Jeeps [a standard Military transport vehicle] in the Red Gyarados Arc are all testaments to this. Heck, just like the Nazis and Hitler, Giovanni was considered to be a respected high official in there, being quite unaware that he is actually a dictator.). I mean, it's not the first time the Japanese referenced the Nazis when making their shows. I mean, the Red Ribbon army in Dragon Ball was deliberately based off of the Nazi party (even going as far as to include a Germanic, Gay, Superstrong psychic using high general by the name of General Blue into the mix.). Believe me, it was deliberately based off of the Nazi salute. there's been too much evidence for it to be that for it to not be a nazi reference. I am removing it because you said it shouldn't be mentioned as it would cause too much controversy, so the image would have to go as well.
