Methods are the current official ones. A ROM hack may change them — trade evolutions especially; the guide table below says which do.

Pokédex entries

What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

RubyVIGOROTH 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.
SapphireVIGOROTH 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.
EmeraldIt 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.
FireRed / LeafGreenIt is always hungry because it won’t stop rampaging. Even while it is eating, it can’t keep still.
Diamond / Pearl / Platinum / Black / WhiteIts heart beats at a tenfold tempo, so it cannot sit still for even a moment.
HeartGold / SoulSilver / YIts stress level rises if it cannot keep moving constantly. Too much stress makes it feel sick.
Black 2 / White 2 / XIts heartbeat is fast and its blood so agitated that it can’t sit still for one second.
Omega RubyVigoroth 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.
Alpha SapphireVigoroth 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.

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
