* 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 base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon, and have the same base stat totals.

* 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.
