Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby

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.

Pokémon Sapphire / Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire

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.

Pokémon Emerald

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.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

It is always hungry because it won't stop rampaging. Even while it is eating, it can't keep still.
