You need a: Slaking + a Psychic pokemon
Ok this finaly brings out the full potential of truant.
The purpose of the move Truant is simple: Without it Slaking would be classified as an Uber and destroy nearly all teams with ease. But if used right, you can use truant as a weapon, and unleash a pokemon who's power is unheard of.
First Teach slaking some physical moves:
Giga Impact
Earthquake
Hammer Arm
Body Slam
Slash
Crush Claw
Fire Punch
They're all good, pick any of them.
Next get your psychic pokemon and teach it skill swap. Understand my point yet?
When you enter a double battle, First turn use skill swap on Slaking, and use something strong with Slaking (BTW slakings speed is actualy good, contrary to popular belief). With it's attacks power, it's gonna kill something, take my word for it. Then attack once more with Slaking next turn. Finaly time to use truant! Have your psychic pokemon use one last skill swap on your opponents best Pokemon; Now they're the handicapped ones!
With a whopping base attack of 160, base hp of 150, and defence at about 100, Slaking isn't just a tank, he's a war machine!

I've heard of something similar to this, but I also heard that skill swap/worry seed can't be used on your teammate. Is this confirmed to actually work?

This strategy works, but it is almost always attempted in with Slaking/Regigigas in doubles so it can be seen coming and hence adjusted for. Gastro Acid and worry seed are usually the better options, as truant makes you swapper lose a turn then when swapped to a foe it just makes them switch out to restore their ability.
Also Giga impact kinda conflicts with the point of losing truant.

Sigh... you really had to share this? It is a really common technique. Even Norman uses it! I don't use it because I don't really like Slaking myself. But with this strategy, they should ban Slaking only if this strategy is used. Slaking has the highest base stat average for a non-legendary. Next comes Snorlax and Arcanine, I believe.
this can be countered in many ways as well...
1. Opponent has another negative ability
2. Taunt
3. Skill Swap back
4. Kill Psychic type before chance to make move, because Psychic types are usually frail
Just decided to post this in case anyone wants to counter
