Slaking is a large, bulky, ape-like bipedal Pokémon. Most of its fur is brown, along with the semi-circle patterning encircling its eyes. Its face, chest, hands, and feet are lighter in color. Its brows are thick and jutting. It has a white collar of fur around its neck, extending toward the top of its head in a small tuft. It also has a large, pink, pig-like nose.

Most of the day its lolls around and sleeps. It is considered the laziest Pokémon, but even when it is lounging it's saving energy to be able to strike back. It can exert a lot of power by releasing built up energy all at once. It only moves around when there is no more food within reach for it to eat. It eats grass and ripened fruit that falls down from trees. It is capable of regaining lost energy through use of its former [[signature move]], {{m|Slack Off}}. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests.}}

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Tied with {{p|Regigigas}}, Slaking has the highest {{stat|Attack}} base stat out of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Slaking has several similarities to {{p|Regigigas}}. They are both {{t|Normal}} types, have hindering abilities ({{a|Truant}} and {{a|Slow Start}}), have the highest {{stat|Attack}} base stat out of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon, and have the same base stat totals.
* At 670, Slaking has the highest [[base stat]] total of any non-Legendary, non-Mega Evolved Pokémon, tying with the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}. This makes it the only non-Legendary, non-Mega Evolved Pokémon to have a base stat total of over 600.
* Outside of Legendary Pokémon and Mega Evolution, Slaking has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, even surpassing Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon by 70 points.
* In double and triple battles, one can nullify Slaking's Truant Ability by using either {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Gastro Acid}}. Several Trainers in {{game|Emerald}} use this power, including [[Norman]] during the player's rematches with him. [[Cipher]] Head [[Evice]]—the final boss and main antagonist of [[Pokémon Colosseum]]—is the very first Trainer in any game to use this tactic. Without Truant, Slaking can make full use of its impressive stats. This can also be done in single battles by using a [[contact]] move on a Pokémon with {{a|Mummy}} such as {{p|Cofagrigus}}. Moves like {{m|Entrainment}} also nullify Truant by causing it to be replaced by another Ability.
