Slakoth in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire: locations, stats and moves

Generation III identity and base stats

Slakoth is Hoenn #036 and National #287. Its original Ruby/Sapphire typing is Normal. The picture and base stats describe its original Generation III form on Game Boy Advance. Later Fairy typing, stat increases and evolutions are excluded.

Base stats describe the species; level, IVs, EVs and nature determine an individual’s actual battle stats.

Where to obtain it in Ruby and Sapphire

Match the game version, area and method before traveling. Ordinary grass, fishing, gifts, fossil revival and trades are separate acquisition routes.

These records include only Ruby and Sapphire. Story flags, field moves, historical access and exceptional encounters retain their conditions; a listed location is not necessarily open on a new save.

Evolution family and original requirements

Friendship evolution uses the original threshold of 220. Trade evolutions require a compatible second game and system. These are original cartridge methods: Feebas uses Beauty, Wurmple uses personality and Nincada can create an extra party member.

Abilities, breeding and training reference

Ruby/Sapphire have no Hidden Abilities. Many abilities gained additional battle or overworld effects in later games; use the original effect in the linked ability reference.

Use the Route 117 Day Care. Eggs hatch at Lv.5; Undiscovered-group Pokémon do not breed. Incense changes the baby result for the Marill and Wobbuffet families. Ruby/Sapphire do not have Emerald’s Everstone nature inheritance or Volt Tackle breeding, and no native Ditto catch is available.

Original breeding, EV, IV and nature rules

Ruby and Sapphire level-up moves

Every row uses the original Ruby/Sapphire version group. Lv.1 entries include starting or reminder moves; a caught specimen need not know all listed moves. The Fallarbor Move Reminder charges a Heart Scale for an eligible level-up move.

Compatible TMs and HMs

Original TMs are consumed after use; HMs are reusable and require the relevant badges for field use. The Lilycove Move Deleter can remove HM moves. Generation III assigns damaging moves by type: Normal, Fighting, Flying, Poison, Ground, Rock, Bug, Ghost and Steel use Attack; Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Psychic, Ice, Dragon and Dark use Sp. Atk. Status moves remain status moves.

All 50 TM and 8 HM locations

Egg moves and original move services

Recorded Ruby/Sapphire Egg moves: Body Slam, Crush Claw, Curse, Pursuit, Slash, Sleep Talk, Snore.

The father passes eligible Egg moves and compatible TM/HM moves; both parents knowing an eligible level-up move can also pass it. The Fallarbor reminder does not teach arbitrary Egg moves. Emerald’s additional move tutors and Battle Frontier are absent from Ruby/Sapphire.

For this Pokémon’s types, damaging Normal moves are physical. A move’s individual modern damage class must not replace the original type rule.
