The Pokémon’s story

Slaking spends almost its entire day lying in the grass. It eats what grows around it, then moves reluctantly when the area is bare. Bare circles on plains can reveal where it has rested. This stillness should not deceive: if it must act, it can release considerable force in a single attack. The Pokédex thus contrasts extreme economy of effort with concentrated power.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Alpha Sapphire describes circles of eaten grass over a meter across around reclining Slaking. Pokémon Y notes that they can nevertheless strike with great power. Marks in the meadow therefore indicate prolonged rest rather than physical weakness.
