Replace his ability Truant with defeatist, so he is a Powerhouse, but still relatively balanced out by a bad ability.

It already is OU viable. You're just not trying hard enough because you don't actually play the game and just like staring at tier lists.

Slaking is only really good for doubles due to skill swap.

Slaking is funny because you can just click Giga Impact and it’s already achieved at least a trade

Sadly Protect ruins it and it can be used as setup fodder

truant now only activates on attacking moves. status moves cannot be used on a truant turn, but they do not cause one.
if slaking's move fails, such as being blocked by protect or a type immunity, it does not cause a truant turn. truant only activates after a successful attack.

Replace Truant with Slow Start.
Slaking has more than enough recovery options to wait out Slow Start.

Quoted By:

Attacks like Thrash or Outrage “skip” Truant turns
Non-attacking moves still work on Truant turns
Whenever a Truant turn triggers, Slaking automatically Yawns and makes all opposing pokemon drowsy
Slaking taking damage during a Truant turn raises its attack by 1 stage
Truant stops wasting turns when HP is less than or equal to 50%
Multi-Turn/Charge-Up moves like Dig, Dive, or Focus Punch skip Truant turns since the pokemon “wasted” that turn instead.
Instead of skipping a turn, Truant halves ATK, DEF, and SPD every other turn

sleep talk, snore, slack off, and Rest all working during Truant turns just seem fitting.

I'd also be fine with effects that prevent sleep like Uproar, Sweet Veil, and Electric Terrain also should pause the ability while it's in effect. Neutralizing Gas already exists, as does simple beam et al, so it's not unprecedented or broken.

Truant affects everyone on the field.
Both players pokemon are forced to do nothing on that turn. You can switch or use items or run, but no attacks.

50% increase in base power when it does attack.

added ability to giga impact and hyper beam etc: they work like G-max/Z moves, still partially effective even when shielded.
