Flavor Text
Ruby SLAKING spends all day lying down and lolling about. It eats grass growing within its reach. If it eats all the grass it can reach, this POKéMON reluctantly moves to another spot.
Sapphire Wherever SLAKING live, rings of over a yard in diameter appear in grassy fields. They are made by the POKéMON as it eats all the grass within reach while lying prone on the ground.
Emerald Hordes of SLAKING gather around trees when fruits come into season. They wait around patiently for ripened fruits to fall out of the trees.
FireRed It is the world's most slothful POKéMON. However, it can exert horrifying power by releasing pent-up energy all at once.
LeafGreen It is the world's most slothful POKéMON. However, it can exert horrifying power by releasing pent-up energy all at once.
