✨ Truant | Gen 9
Effect:
Every second turn on which this Pokémon should attempt to use a move, it will instead do nothing ("loaf around").
Loafing around interrupts moves that take multiple turns the same way paralysis, flinching, etc do. Most such moves, for example Bide or Rollout, are simply cut off upon loafing around. Attacks with a recharge turn, such as Hyper Beam, do not have to recharge. Attacks with a preparation turn, such as Fly, do not end up being used.
Truant cannot be replaced by Simple Beam, Worry Seed, or Entrainment. It can be replaced by Skill Swap, Role Play, Doodle, or Mummy, and can be suppressed by Gastro Acid or Neutralizing Gas.
