Slakoth is a brown, quadruped Pokémon with sloth-like qualities. It has coarse, shaggy fur with two dark brown stripes on its back. There is a scruff of fur on top of its head, and it has a large, pig-like pink nose, pink eyelids, and dark rings around its eyes. It has long, lanky arms, but shorter legs. Each paw has two sharp claws, and there are pink paw pads on the back feet. Its underbelly and read are also pink.
Slakoth lolls around and sleeps for more than twenty hours a day, which can make those around it drowsy. Since it does not move very much, it does not need much food and only eats three leaves each day. Its heart only beats once a minute. It is capable of regaining lost energy through use of its former signature move, Slack Off. It makes its nest in tropical forests, and keeps the same one during its entire life. However, it can travel far by swimming in rivers.
Multiple Slakoth appeared in The Garden of Eatin'. They lived in the Banana Slakoth Garden, which is run by Marcel. A Snorlax was eating all of the bananas in the garden and no one was able to stop it until one of the Slakoth in the garden evolved into Vigoroth and defeated it.
A Slakoth, nicknamed Slokath (Japanese: ケンタロKentarō), under the ownership of Alecsey (Japanese: ヒロキHiroki), appeared in a Pokémon Contest in Tripped Up by Torkoal.
Slakoth lolls around for over twenty hours every day. Because it moves so little, it does not need much food. This Pokémon's sole daily meal consists of just three leaves.
It sleeps virtually all day and night long. It doesn't change its nest its entire life, but it sometimes travels great distances by swimming in rivers.
