I like Vigoroth, it's such a relief to lose that truant ability. I actually like it's design the most of the three stages, and it's speed and physical stats aren't bad for a middle stage evo.
I think it's curious that it's predecessor is barely able to move, while Vigoroth is so wild and bounding with energy. I guess it's making up for lost time?
During the get-together this year somebody did a design for the fakemon contest that was a branch evolution for Vigoroth. It was called Vigosterone. If you maxed out it's attack with 10 protein vitamins Vigoroth would evolve into this pokemon instead of Slaking. It was chosen as one of the top three entries.
It's stats are jaw-dropping. I know they had to do something to keep Slaking from being over-powered, but maybe giving it truant was too much. I still kinda like this pokemon though, despite it being a lazy body.
