It’s like Sonic the Hedgehog, who is based on a slow animal, but the character is fast. It is contradictory in a sense, because sloths don’t move much, but Vigoroth needs to move a lot even though it is based on a sloth. Unlike the near-motionless Slakoth, Vigoroth is known for being a very active Pokémon, as its name suggests. Sloths are quite content living in trees because it is a safe place to be and it has leaves that it will eat, but Slakoth seems content with being on the ground most of the time, with only one instance where it’s found in trees (HeartGold and SoulSilver). Despite being still, sloths are awake for most of the day, presumably to pay attention to its surroundings or to go to the ground to defecate. When one sees that sloths lack movement, it is easy to assume that they are asleep almost all day, such as Slakoth’s sleep schedule occupying almost the entire day, but this is not the case. Oddly, it doesn’t learn Surf despite this talent. Despite being in trees for all its life, sloths are surprisingly good swimmers, which is the case with Slakoth if it wants to cross rivers. Slakoth also eats very little, only eating three leaves a day. The way Slakoth slacks off makes one feel compelled in doing the same, possibly because it looks happy in the way it relaxes. Slakoth is so slow that its heart beats only once per minute, which means its blood travels quite slowly. It moves very little that it’s rare to see one in motion, being content to loaf around. In most ways, Slakoth’s behaviour is similar to a real sloth. It’s not just the sloth’s movements that are slow, but it digests its food very slowly, and newly-eaten leaves might take a month to go through its digestive system.
In case a certain leave is out of reach, it could just grab it with its long tongue instead of moving a bit just to reach it or to use its claw to take it. To make up for the lack of energy, sloths consume little energy in its movements, which is how they achieve their trademark sluggishness. This is because their diet of leaves does not provide much energy, since leaves produce less energy and don’t digest easily. They are animals that do not move much, appearing as if moving takes too much effort. Sloths are animals that are one-of-a-kind. This way, it doesn’t matter how powerful the end result is, because it prevents a dominant strategy from going on. When abilities were first introduced, one way to make use of it is to make one that gives a player a disadvantage.
The sloth is a fascinating animal because it is very sluggish, and such a habit opens up ideas on a Pokémon based on it. Looks but it is a menace in battles, well at least to me.” ~ Boshi234 While I tend to think that overall design wise the best of these Pokémon is Vigoroth, because in comparison, Slaking looks non-threatening and judging Vigoroth by Pokédex entry and the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, it seems more energetic than Slakoth and Slaking. “The typing these Pokémon possess is excellent (Normal) because Slakoth are based mainly on the sloth, while Vigoroth and Slaking are more simian.
