What if Slaking's Truant ability were to be modified so instead of alternating between acting and loafing around every other turn, it had a 50% chance of moving each turn?

why not just make a hold item that negates the pokemon's ability?

Oh god, no. Turant is already a horrible ability and you just made it even worse. Besides, Slaking needs that first turn if you're running a skill swap set up in doubles

Slaking is fucking trash.
It should have Klutz. That way you can't scarf it or band it.
There, it's not close to broken. It's just an above average bulky sweeper, that can function in the current OU enviroment.

They'd likely cancel each other out, because the item doesn't have a function on its own, so without the Klutz ability... the item does nothing. And with the ability, the item still does nothing. It's like Limber Stunfisk, redundancy.

Which means there's no drawback to a Klutz mon holding the item, and it can Trick/Switcheroo to an opponent that relies on its ability.

I don't think you've ever used slaking before. It's the best revenge killer since sliced bread.

Did you confused Slaking for like
Scizor
Talonflame

or really any good Pokemon in general

Because 100 base speed isn't that great and 160 base attack isn't much now that we have megas.

Most Megas aren't setup bait turn 2, have abilities in addition to good typing in order to boost that attack, and fit far, far better on a team

Hell even if you ignore megas you still have things like Ditto and Kyurem-B.

That would be an even worse revenge killer since you can't choice it and your main STAB is normal
You're still 50% less powerful than most megas on STAB alone, entirely ignoring ability.

I've never used Slaking before because it's awful.
The stats are really good all right, but without a good ability it's not that great.
I wouldn't even question that Klutz Slaking wouldn't make it to OU if it wasn't because Mega Khan did and it was broken, but just look at Kyurem-b, who's perfectly balanced in OU, and tell me stats matter that much.
Slaking isn't better than Kyube even with a neutral ability. I'm not sure if Klutz would bump it to OU, but at least it'd be all right.

Currently, it's fucking trash for no reason.

A neutral ability like Oblivious make some sense in Slaking.

I mean, it just don't give any fuck to anyone. It will not be overpowered with it, and will have a niche as a bulky setup attacker just because don't care about Taunt / Attract

Mega Slaking
Ability: Shrug Off

This pokemon has a mandatory recharge phase for any one-turn attacks used. However after using two-turn moves with a recharge phased, it is dragged out of battle after the first turn of the attack in place of a random pokemon in your party.

Why can't Regigigas get a real ability already? It's the head of a legendary trio for god's sake. If it ends up too good and gets pushed to ubers, then so what? That's where it should be, anyway.

It really boggles my mind that they made Arceus and Regigigas in the same generation, yet they thought the later was more likely to be OP.

That would mean that if it were under the effects of Attract then it would be super shitty.

Yeah, I know. Nobody uses Attract but I'm just saying.
