Vigoroth is a notable Physical Sweeper. It's meant to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Vigoroth is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield but Eviolite makes it possibly stronger than it's final form. If Eviolite is held by a Pokémon that is not fully evolved, it will raises the Defense and Special Defense of that Pokemon by 50%. White Herb will reset Vigoroth's negative stat changes once (specifically for when it uses Hammer Arm). Focus Sash helps protect Vigoroth from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Life Orb boosts the power of Vigoroth's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Vital Spirit, Vigoroth cannot fall asleep. gaining this ability while asleep cures it.
♦ Frustration is a physical STAB-boosted 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at minimum happiness).
♦ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon).
♦ Hammer Arm is a physical 100-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Vigoroth's speed by 1 stage).
♦ Sucker Punch is a physical priority-increased 80-base power Dark-type move (usually goes first. fails if target is not attacking).
