Can Truant be traced or skill swapped?

Question

I need the ability truant for a strategy, is this possible?

Answer 1

Both Trace and Skill Swap interact with Truant, though Slaking cannot have either.

Trace (Bulbapedia)
Truant (Bulbapedia)

My plan was to use skill swap and take truant from slaking, then pass it to an opponent.

Good strategy. I might have to use that in Double battles.

That is my grand plan, A slaking free to attack, and your opponent can't escape on that 1st turn because of their new ability.

A Slaking without Truant will be a force to be reckoned with. Just watch out for those first turns while you are setting up.

I have moves on my supporting pokemon like follow me to draw fire away. Then slaking has protect, I use it every other turn so they can't attack me. Then I hit them during the truant turn.
