Vigoroth is a Normal-type Pokémon, No. 288 in the National Pokédex, introduced in Generation 3 (Hoenn region).

It evolves from Slakoth. Its heart beats ten times faster, so it cannot sit for a full minute, tears through the jungle, stays hungry, and later becomes Slaking.
In the anime

Name origin
The design mixes sloths and baboons, with a red rump and sudden violent flares. Vigoroth may join vigor with sloth.
