Give it Slow Start.

Quoted By:

It's crazy that it has this quite substantial move pool including several decent status and special moves coming off it's not abysmal 95 special attack. But due to Truant, it's forced to use a selection of 5-6 moves with high BP to get the most out of your turn. Which is easily countered if the opponent has protect.

Neither would be meta, but Slaking gets access to protect and/or substitute, or Rest/Sleep Talk, meaning is could reasonably stall out the slow start turns where Regigigas cannot.

What if they made a regional variant where the roles of the evolution were reversed? Slakoth and Slaking were ADHD tier hyper and Vigoroth was a fat lazy slob.

Quoted By:

Truant should swap Slaking's stats around so its defenses are higher on "off" turns.
Slow Start should only affect speed, not attack, and the five turn counter shouldn't be reset on switching out.

What if Slaking had a new ability where it was guaranteed to move last no matter what?

Truant should come with built-in Leftovers.

Along with Yawn and Slack Off, it has a lot of way for stalling for time. You can say it's too easy for it but it's special defense is fairly worse than Regigigas which evens it slightly.

Alternatively, you should be able to do a degree of reflect damage during your Truant turn.

Didn't they do that with Darumaka? An angry loud fire type turns into a fire-psychic statue when it falls below half health, but its British counterpart is calm normally and angry when it's a snowman.
