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

===In battle===
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.
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 (unless the user is holding a [[Power Herb]]), 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 loaf around due to Truant during the turn that would normally be used recharging; however, the Pokémon still cannot switch out during that turn.
 
If a Pokémon gains Truant after it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] but before it moves, Truant will activate on its first attempt to move.
 
Truant cannot be replaced with {{m|Simple Beam}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, or {{m|Entrainment}}.
