Vigoroth

Vigoroth in the anime

Vigoroth appeared in There's no Place Like Hoenn, under the ownership of Norman, who used it in a Gym battle against Ash in Love, Petalburg Style and Balance of Power, defeating Torkoal with its speed before tying with Pikachu after being paralyzed by Static. In The Garden of Eatin', a Slakoth in Marcel's Banana Slakoth Garden evolved into a Vigoroth and defeated a troublesome Snorlax, allowing Marcel to catch it.
