Every second turn, a Pokémon with Truant cannot use a move due to loafing around, such that the Pokémon can move on its first turn but not its second turn. [[Recall|Switching out]] or gaining the Ability Truant resets the turn count for Truant. Using an [[item]] does not count as a turn for the purposes of Truant. <!--In [[Generation V]], -->Truant is reset by {{status|sleep}} and a Pokémon with Truant will always be able to attack on the turn they wake up. | Every second turn, a Pokémon with Truant cannot use a move due to loafing around, such that the Pokémon can move on its first turn but not its second turn.
