In the anime

Norman's Vigoroth appeared several times in the anime, the first being in There's no Place Like Hoenn. It also appeared in Love, Petalburg Style and in 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 Pikachu ended in a draw due to it being paralyzed by Pikachu.

In The Garden of Eatin', a Snorlax was causing trouble for a man named Marcel by eating the bananas in his 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.
