Truant (Ability): Difference between revisions

'''Truant''' (Japanese: '''なまけ''' ''Lazy'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Only three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have this Ability. Prior to [[Generation V]], it was the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Slakoth}} and {{p|Slaking}}.

Truant causes the user to only [[move]] every other turn. Moves which require a turn to charge, such as {{m|SolarBeam}}, will not work because the turn in which the move is executed is the same turn in which the Pokémon will be truant. If a Pokémon with Truant uses a move such as {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which recharges after use, then Truant will take effect during the turn that would normally be used recharging; however, the Pokémon still cannot switch out. The moves {{m|Worry Seed}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, and {{m|Simple Beam}} will not work on Pokémon with this Ability. <!--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.
