Talk:Slaking (Pokemon)

Slaking lime would be of far more importance to an encyclopedia than some drivel about pokemon!

Then make the article, and stop whining. ~regruBgniK

Wouldn't Slaking's name also be a variant of "slacking"?

I agree, Slakings name origin is obviously a play on the gerund form of the verb Slack. The article should be updated, but I will leave it to a Pokemon expert.

another meaning
Actually, other than refering to pokemon and gaming stuffs, slaking also means wet-dry weathering in geomorphology. It refers to the process of alternate swelling and shrinking of rocks (containing minerals like clay, shale and mudstones) when it comes into contact with water, and eventually breaking them down.

Slaking's Ability
Shouldn't there be something in the article about how Slaking is the first pokémon to have a negative special ability?--72.88.113.212 23:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
