What pokémon do you think is the laziest one? In general for the species, that is, of course. I know Snorlax, Slowpoke, Slakoth and possibly more have been made with the intention of seeming slooooow and relaxed and lazy even. But which one deserves the title as "laziest pokémon species"? Maybe there are even more ones I haven't thought of. And this goes for all iterations and media, of course.

Yeah, Slaking might be my bet too. He's strong, sure, but he can only move every other turn in the games to make up for it O.o

Hmm I almost feel like for slaking it's not his fault that he's slow. It's only from his ability (he has decent speed too) which in this case is more of a disability. Almost sad when you think about it. (There should definitely be a Megaking with a better ability)

As for what I think the laziest pokemon is... honestly I'm not sure I can pick one. I hate to be "that guy" but I just kind of see their behavior as a part of what their species does to survive. Lax is like a bear who hibernates, eats a lot and sleeps a lot. I don't know if it can be called lazy because that's just what it needs to do to survive. And Slowking, slowbro, and slowpoke may be slow and appear dumb, but iirc slowpoke wasn't really lazy in the anime it was just patient. (and their was also that one that like had to go through some obstacle course to get a king's rock or something). Honestly the only pokemon that actually seems lazy is Ash's Charizard before it listened to him, but that was more standoffish.

Yeah, I probably over-analyzed this. XD

Most likely Slaking. The Pokémon looses all its energy after it strikes an attack, so it needs to recharge next turn by just loafing around; laziness at its best. Snorlax is quite lazy as well, but hey, at least it takes battling seriously; it doesn't fool around. d:
