Truant

Description

Each time this Pokémon is sent out, it will not be able to attack on every other turn, starting with the second. Moves that take a turn to recharge, such as Hyper Beam, will use its recharge turn while the user is 'loafing around'. Entrainment, Simple Beam, and Worry Seed do not work when used on this Pokemon. It has no out of battle effect.

Competitive Use

Only two fully evolved Pokemon have this ability, Slaking and Durant. Durant is unreleased as of right now, so Slaking is the only real user, and as an ability, this ability has to be one of the worst in the game, if not the worst. It takes a probable Uber candidate Pokemon all the way to the bottom of the pile in terms of being usable, so it has no competitive use at all. Some say that Truant Durant could be used with Entrainment to irritate the opponent, but then all the opponent has to do is switch out on the free turn that Truant gives them.
