'''Slaking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケッキング''' ''Kekking'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Vigoroth}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.

==Biology==
Slaking is a large, bulky, ape-like bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Most of its shaggy fur is brown, along with the semi-circle patterning under its eyes. Its face, chest, hands, and feet are lighter in color. Its brows are thick and jutting, and it has a large, pink [[wp:Pig|pig]]-like snout. Around its neck is a white collar of fur that extends over the top of its head before ending in a small tuft. It has large, five-fingered hands and two-toed feet.

During most of the day, Slaking lolls around and sleeps. It is considered the laziest Pokémon, but even when it is lounging it's saving energy. It can exert a lot of power by releasing built-up energy all at once and is said to be feared for its immense strength. Slaking lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical forests}}, where it feeds on grass and ripened fruit that falls from trees. It only moves around when there is no more food within reach for it to eat. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], it is rare to see Slaking dozing off while consuming the grass around it.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "It is the world's laziest Pokémon, spending all day lying down and lolling about. On very rare occasions you might even see a Slaking that dozed off while snacking on the grass around it."</ref>

In [[Generation III]], {{m|Slack Off}} was its [[signature move]]. Prior to [[Generation V]] and in [[Generation IX]], Slaking and its unevolved form, {{p|Slakoth}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Truant}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Slaking evolves from {{p|Vigoroth}} and is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

====Major appearances====
=====[[Norman's Slaking]]=====
Slaking debuted in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'', under the ownership of [[Norman]]. In [[AG070|the following episode]], [[Ash's Grovyle]] defeated it during a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, winning {{Ash}} the {{badge|Balance}}.

=====Other=====
Multiple Slaking appeared in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', where they played a major role.

In ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', [[Sawyer]] used a Slaking in the [[Lumiose Conference]], during which it defeated a Trainer's {{p|Medicham}}. In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', it was used during Sawyer's [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}}, where it defeated {{AP|Hawlucha}} before losing to {{AP|Talonflame}}.

A Slaking appeared in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]'', having been affected by the [[Laquium]]. [[Roy]] and [[Ult]] battled it with their [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} and {{p|Sableye}} before [[Captain Pikachu]] defeated it with {{m|Volt Tackle}}. It reappeared during a flashback in [[HZ091|the following episode]], and [[HZ101]].

====Minor appearances====
A Slaking appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

In ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Slaking was entered in the [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]] on [[Harvest Island]]. It was [[Ash's Pignite]]'s second opponent, and it lost due to not even trying to make an effort in the battle.

In ''[[JN095|The Good, The Bad, and The Lucky!]]'', [[James]] pulled a Slaking from the [[Rocket Prize Master]] that did absolutely nothing to help him.

===Ash & Pikachu===
{{main|Norman's Slaking}}
[[Norman]]'s Slaking appeared in ''[[SP25|I'll Win With My Own Battle Style!!]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Norman's Slaking}}
{{adv|Norman}}'s signature Pokémon is a {{TP|Norman|Slaking}}, who first appeared in ''[[PS186|Brushing Past Breloom]]''. Although it would seem that his {{a|Truant|Ability}} would be of a major hindrance, he shows that by having a {{p|Spinda}} tag alongside him and use {{m|Skill Swap}} in times of need, his impressive strength and speed would be wielded to their maximum. Additionally, the move {{m|Bulk Up}} allows him to bolster his stats even more.

{{adv|Emerald}} used a Slaking during his {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} challenge in ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]''. Thanks to {{m|Slack Off}}, it was able to outlast a {{p|Hitmonlee}} despite its type and speed disadvantages. After the battle, it was swapped with a {{p|Linoone}}.

The Battle Factory rented a Slaking, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS315|Skirting Around Surskit I]]''.

[[Spenser]] used a Slaking against the young boy in ''[[PS325|Standing in the Way with Starmie]]'', but their {{pkmn|battle}} was not seen.

A Slaking appeared in a flashback as one of the Pokémon trained by the [[International Police]] in ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]''.

===Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire===
A Slaking appeared in ''[[PMRS17|Serious Bicycle Match!]]'', under the ownership of [[Rydel's rival]].

==Other appearances==
==={{DetPikMov}}===
Two Slaking appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.

==Trivia==
* Slaking has several similarities to {{p|Regigigas}}. They are both {{t|Normal}} types, have [[:Category:Abilities with negative effects|hindering]] {{Abilities}} ({{a|Truant}} and {{a|Slow Start}}), have the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon, and have the same base stat totals.
* Slaking has the highest base stat total of any non-{{pkmn2|Mythical}}, {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, or [[Mega Evolution]].
* A {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Godzillante & Gorillaimo|pre-alpha sketch}} from the development of [[Capsule Monsters]] depicts a Pokémon that bears a slight resemblance to Slaking.

===Origin===
Slaking appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|sloth}}s, more specifically the prehistoric giant ground sloths ''{{wp|Megatherium}}'' or ''{{wp|Eremotherium}}'' due to its large size. It also closely resembles a {{wp|great ape}}, such as a {{wp|gorilla}}, with the "-king" in both its Japanese and English names possibly alluding to {{wp|King Kong}}. Its lazy behavior is based on the concept of Slakoth going from a sloth to being motivated, then deciding it wasn't worth it.<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref> It also has some similarities to human {{wp|old age|elder}}s, due to its baldness, pink snout, and white fur on its head and around its neck and being less much less active than Vigoroth.

====Name origin====
Slaking may be derived from ''slacking'', or a combination of ''slack'' and ''king''.

Kekking may be a combination of 欠勤 ''kekkin'' (absence from work) and ''king''.

'''Tyrantrum''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガチゴラス''' ''Gachigoras'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Dragon}} [[Fossil]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tyrunt}} when [[level]]ed up during the [[Time-based Evolution|day]] starting at level 39.

==Biology==
[[File:Tyrantrum skeleton.jpg|thumb|250px|left|A replica of Tyrantrum's skeleton, produced for the [[Pokémon Fossil Museum]] exhibit<ref name=CorporatePokemon>(May 11, 2021). "[https://corporate.pokemon.co.jp/en/topics/detail/106.html Unlimited Potential of the Pokémon Generation]." [[The Pokémon Company]] Official Press Site.</ref>]]
Tyrantrum is a bipedal, dinosaurian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a large {{wp|theropoda|theropod}}. It is predominantly brownish red with scaly patterns on its skin and scattered orange highlights on some scales and ridges. Tyrantrum's head is proportionately large with a blunt, ridged snout and powerful jaws. It has black around its eyes and a light gray lower jaw covered by a beard of white, primitive feathers. Several sharp teeth are visible in the lower jaw, while the upper jaw is lined with orange-tipped, tooth-like projections. Over its eyes is a row of five spikes resembling a crown. Around Tyrantrum's neck is a feathery white ruff that extends over its shoulders similar to a cape. Its underbelly is gray with white borders and there are two orange spikes near the tip of its long tail. Its small forelimbs have only two black-clawed digits each, but it has powerful hind legs with three black claws each. Plated, armor-like ridges cover its knees, back, and the top of its tail.

Before its extinction 100,000,000 years ago, Tyrantrum was known to be vicious but had the presence of a magnificent king. It's said that nothing could stop Tyrantrum. Its powerful jaws, capable of shredding thick metal plates as easily as paper, made it invincible. Its strength allows it to sleep in the wild entirely unguarded without feeling worried. It is theorized that its original form was completely covered with a feather-like coat.

Both of them evolve starting at level 39 from a Pokémon with a base stat total of 362, although Tyrantrum evolves at day instead of during the night. Both also share a base stat total of 521.
* Tyrantrum and its {{p|Tyrunt|pre-Evolution}}:
** are the [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|only Pokémon]] with the [[type]] combination of Rock and {{t|Dragon}}.
** are the only Rock-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
** were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>

===Origin===
[[File:Pokémon_Fossil_Museum_Highlight_3.png|thumb|350px|Comparison between Tyrantrum and ''Tyrannosaurus''<ref name=FossilMuseum>[[Pokémon Fossil Museum]] [https://www.kahaku.go.jp/pokemon/index_en.html Official Website]</ref>]]
Tyrantrum is based on the {{wp|genus}} ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'',<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/458627994395762689 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on April 22, 2014.</ref> though it also shares some characteristics (such as the orange facial crest) with members of the {{wp|Carnosauria}} clade.

Tyrantrum's crest and white feathers are inspired by the imagery of {{wp|king}}s, with the crest acting as a crown, the fringe on the lower jaw acting as a beard, and the fringe on the neck acting as a cape lined with fur.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/481122687918428161 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on June 24, 2014.</ref> The fringe is also derived from the hypothesis that ''Tyrannosaurus'' supposedly had feathers.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/392598314551504896 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on October 22, 2013.</ref> The royalty theme in Tyrantrum's line is likely a reference to the ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', as "Tyranno-" comes from the Ancient Greek word for ''tyrant'', and "rex" is Latin for ''king''. Similarly, a Japanese name for the ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' is 暴君竜 ''bōkunryū'' (lit. cruel ruler dragon).

Tyrantrum's {{t|Dragon}} type likely references the perceived similarities between dinosaurs and dragons in different cultures and popular media. Notably, the Japanese word for "dinosaur" is 恐竜 ''kyōryū'' (fearsome dragon).

====Name origin====
Tyrantrum may be a combination of ''Tyrannosaurus'', ''tyrant'', and ''tantrum''.

Gachigoras may be a combination of ガチガチ ''gachigachi'' (teeth chattering), ガチ ''gachi'' (serious or for real), ガチン ''gachin'' (banging noise), がっちり ''gacchiri'' (stocky), and ''Chigoras'' ({{p|Tyrunt}}).
