'''Vigoroth''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤルキモノ''' ''Yarukimono'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Slakoth}} starting at [[level]] 18, and evolves into {{p|Slaking}} starting at level 36. <br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
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.<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
====Special abilities====<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]<br />
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.<br />
<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[Image:Vigoroth anime.png|220px|right|thumb|[[Norman|Norman's]] Vigoroth]]<br />
[[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.<br />
<br />
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 when one of the Slakoth in the garden evolved into Vigoroth and defeated Snorlax allowing Marcel to capture it.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Vigoroth, {{p|Cascoon}} and {{p|Seadra}} are the only Pokémon who lose their pre-evolution's ability, then regain it upon evolution to their final form.<br />
*Vigoroth is the only Pokémon to learn {{M|Focus Punch}} via leveling up.<br />
*Vigoroth is prevented from evolving more often than other Pokémon due to the {{a|Truant}} ability that its evolutionary-form Slaking inherits. However, some trainers ignore this, because of Slaking's massive base-stats.<br />
===Origin===<br />
Its based on sloths, possibly the giant {{wp|ground sloth}} in particular.<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Vigoroth's name is a combination of ''vigor'' and ''{{wp|sloth}}''.<br />
<br />
''Yarukimono'' is likely a combination of やる気 ''yaruki'', willingness, and 樹懶 ''namakemono'', sloth.<br />
