Truant (Japanese: なまけ Lazy) is an ability introduced in Generation III. Only three Pokémon have this ability, two of which are in the same evolutionary line.
Effect
In battle
Truant causes the user to only move every other turn. Moves which require a turn to charge, such as 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 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 Worry Seed, Entraintment, and Simple Beam will not work on Pokémon with this ability.
Outside of battle
Truant has no effect outside of battle.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
The Pokémon will instead gain the Paused status whenever a special move or a Wonder Orb is used.
