 ==Effect==
 ===In battle===
-Truant causes the user to only [[move]] every other turn. Actions such as using items or switching out do not signify a turn. Moves which require a turn to charge, such as {{m|Solar Beam}}, 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.
+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.
+{{cat|Moves with a charging turn}}, such as {{m|Fly}}, will not work, because the turn in which the move would be executed is the same turn in which the Pokémon will be truant. If the Pokémon uses a {{cat|Moves that require recharging|move that requires recharging}}, such as {{m|Hyper Beam}}, then the Pokémon will load around due to Truant during the turn that would normally be used recharging; however, the Pokémon still cannot switch out during that turn.
+Truant cannot be replaced with {{m|Simple Beam}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, or {{m|Entrainment}}.
