Slaking is one of my top 3 favorite pokemon, always loved all 3 of it's evolution stages and I just loooove the Idea of it. But I think it's negative passive got changed which really hurt it. I think it used to be that it attacks only every second turn, so you could use Hyperbeam and then just use the downtime for the passive, but now it's that is has to relax one turn so after using hyper beam you have to wait two turns... I wish there where more moves and passives of other pokemon that could bypass his passive.

Imagine mega slacking: the energy from mega evolution goes fully into it's reserves, making it feel like a vigoroth again. It is said that slacking feels sad after mega evolution wears off and losing the mega energy. it gets no bst change but gains the new ability restless: this ability prevents the pokemon from falling asleep and moves that would require a turn to recharge after use do not need to recharge. I would also give the new ability to vigoroth as mega slacking and vigoroth have so much energy that even a hyper beam wont slow them down one bit. And a mega that has a wholesome dex entry would be a nice change of pace from the brutal dex entries other megas get.

Slaking's probably my favorite Normal type Pokémon simply for how its line works. It starts off as a low-energy sloth creature that struggles to het motivated sometimes, evolves into a more agressive baboon-like middle evolution that tries to make up for its previous shortcomings, and then becomes a more defiant gorilla-like Pokémon who's lazy on purpose and could beat you to death with your own arms if you even think about trying to order it around when it doesn't want to.

Even with the opponent using Protect, you can predict the protect for a free switch, or have a partner mon Encore them into it. Bringing out a Weezing is another thing, and if all else fails, having it loaf around one turn is usually not entirely terrible as it's quite bulky and may act as a sort of pseudo follow me for your opponent while you set up or attack with your partner.

First of all…. if you’re going to take away, it’s ability you automatically have to nerf it because it would be too strong. 160 base attack is WILD…. And it has a decent move pool.. it would instantly get banned to Ubers tier without even thinking about it… 2) usually when they give pokemon Megas forms they give the significant stat boost. giving a Pokémon like this that already has a monster attack stat and great bulk even more of a stat boost and then getting rid of its ability, and then giving it an overpowered ability already like huge power? They’ll literally ban that Mon into oblivion! It wouldn’t be allowed to play in any format… unless it’s facing itself. It would be in a tier by itself. Unbalanced… able to OHKO just about ANY Mon it faces. And God forbid stat boost it gets from mega evolving goes mostly to its speed bringing it over base 130 or faster ….
