Your guy now has Traunt and can't be switched
When you can attack, Dugtrio will just Protect. When you can't, he'll use Hone Claws.
Before you know it, you're staring at a Dugtrio with +6 attack and accuracy.

Except as soon as you switch out Wobbufett, the other guy can switch out whoever got Traunt.

and blaziken will have a free SD and a speed boost. It also wont need protect anymore so it can carry thunder punch or shadow claw.

Why settle for a +2 to attack and a +1 to speed when you can have 2 +6's on an already fast Pokemon that isn't banned into Ubers

It's just annoying when people take this shit too far. Like they actually manage to successfully get truant and trap you with chandelure, then they say "ALL RIGHT, TIME FOR 6 CALM MINDS AND THEN SPAM FLAME CHARGE AS MANY TIMES AS I CAN!"

Just fucking end it

Wait, I'm not into competitive battling, but as far as I know truant only makes you miss a turn.
What the advantage to Durant?

Durant has Entrainment, so it can change the opponent's ability to Truant.

the opponent can of course switch, but Dugtrio, Gothitelle, Wobuffet and Chandelure (if shadow tag is released for it) can come in, stop the opponent from switching, protect and set up all over their shit.

There is no advantage.
Truant is an exclusively disadvantegeous ability, and its only point is sticking it somehow on your opponent (Durant) or nerfing an otherwise overpowered mon (Slaking).

Just why would you use Entrainment Durant when the motherfucker has amazing offensive stats, Hustle for an even higher attack stat, and Hone Claws to get rid of the accuracy penalty?
People are retarded.

Not if you're up against Pokemon like Magnezone, Dugtrio, or Chandelure.
You can trap your opponent and stat up to the max while they have to sit there and watch

Faster Pokemon with Fire type moves would shut him down.
Don't question the mighty Traunt-Trap.

It's only really good in the lower tiers. It's a beast in RU, but it has problems in UU and is completely outclassed by Scizor in OU.
