Biology

Vigoroth's heart beats ten times faster than a Slakoth's. It is energetic to the point of needing to run for an entire day to be able to sleep, and becomes stressed when it has to stand still for any period of time.

Its heartbeat is fast and its blood so agitated that it can’t sit still for one second.
Black 2 · White 2 · X
Its stress level rises if it cannot keep moving constantly. Too much stress makes it feel sick.
HeartGold · SoulSilver · Y
Its heart beats at a tenfold tempo, so it cannot sit still for even a moment.
Diamond · Pearl · Platinum · Black · White
It is always hungry because it won’t stop rampaging. Even while it is eating, it can’t keep still.
FireRed · LeafGreen
It can’t keep still because its blood boils with energy. It runs through the fields and mountains all day to calm itself. If it doesn’t, it can’t sleep at night.
Emerald
VIGOROTH is simply incapable of remaining still. Even when it tries to sleep, the blood in its veins grows agitated, compelling this Pokémon to run wild throughout the jungle before it can settle down.
Sapphire · Alpha Sapphire
VIGOROTH is always itching and agitated to go on a wild rampage. It simply can’t tolerate sitting still for even a minute. This Pokémon’s stress level rises if it can’t be moving constantly.
