Truant

Moves only every two turns.

Skips every second turn.

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. Outrage and Uproar are cut off as well; a move forced by Encore keeps going as usual. If this Pokémon is confused, its confusion is not checked when loafing around; the Pokémon cannot hurt itself, and its confusion does not end or come closer to ending. If this Pokémon attempts to move but fails, e.g. because of paralysis, it still counts as having moved and will loaf around the next turn. The turns keep alternating even when it cannot attempt to move, e.g. because it is asleep or frozen. This ability can be changed with Role Play or traded away with Skill Swap.
