See, my Pokemon fanfic is more anime-based. The problem is, Truant was never shown in anime.

The other problem I am facing is that if I DID have, say a Slaking in the fanfic shown battling, I feel that it would look pretty awkward if it just stood there and took the attack.

So, any advice?

I would make the pokemon really slow, personally. I mean, that's pretty much what the ability is intended to do, right? You would be able to get multiple attacks off, and do it without making it seem fake or turn based.

Or it could be interpreted as a 'moody' pokemon - think Charizard when it first evolved. It could ignore commands, or need 'convincing' to battle a bit more. I admit, both of those solutions might be tedious to use frequently, but as an occasional battler I think it would be quite honest to how the anime works.
