Basics
Slakoth is a Normal-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 572 at level 20 (raids, eggs and research), 716 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 1,133 at level 50. It is weak to Fighting attacks (1.6×). It resists Ghost attacks. In raids, Yawn + Body Slam is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). It evolves into Vigoroth with 25 Candy. As your buddy, it earns 1 Candy every 5 km you walk together.

Slakoth lolls around for over 20 hours every day. Because it moves so little, it does not need much food. This Pokémon's sole daily meal consists of just three leaves.

- How to read IVs and appraisalsIVs run from 0 to 15 for each of Attack, Defense and HP, and appraisal stars are set by the sum of the three (0–45).
- What to power up first (power-up priorities for beginners)Stardust is limited, so first power up strong counters you'll use for a long time across many raids.
- Choosing IVs for PvP (low Attack wins in Great and Ultra League)In leagues with a CP cap, the lower the Attack IV, the higher you can level up within the same CP, which makes Defense and HP bigger.
