Slaking

Slaking (Pokédex #0289) is a Normal-type POKEMON first introduced in Generation 3. It is officially classified as the Lazy Pokémon. SLAKING spends all day lying down and lolling about. It eats grass growing within its reach. If it eats all the grass it can reach, this POKéMON reluctantly moves to another spot.

As a Normal-type POKEMON, Slaking has a specific set of type matchups that trainers must account for. It takes double damage from Fighting moves. Conversely, Slaking is completely immune to Ghost — these moves deal zero damage regardless of power.
