>>31235521
its suposse to be the ability it wish to have, a lazy ass ant

It's a pun and it also gets entrainment for meme potential.

>inb4 true ant

>>31235521
ants work hard. sometimes they just want a break, yknow?

>>31235521

Is Durant a meme Pokemon? All I think of when I see one is Kevin Durant.

The same reason for most other stupid decisions in Pokemon. Because Game Freak.

>Truant (Japanese: なまけ Lazy)

Ants are hard workers, so they'd dream of being lazy

>>31235521

Besides being a pun, it's probably a reference to that fable about a lazy cicada and the working ants.

Because it has the ability to switch Traunt with it's opponent

It's actually pretty good. Hustle + Hone Claws is great.

>>31235584
Cicada? Wasn't it a grasshopper?

>>31235521
They thought about ants dreaming, and believed that being lazy is what ants really want to do for being some of the busiest animals on earth.

>>31235521
It's because eusocial insects are lazy.

Truant Durant is literally the best shit in BT, you can use it to get guaranteed +6 setups against the dumb AI then sweep. It's the main way people get to 1,000+ streaks.

Please pay no attention to Delibird. We intentionally trained him wrong on purpose, as a joke.

being able to give your opponent Truant is very interesting but very gimmicky
