Every second turn on which this Pokémon should attempt to use a move, it will instead do nothing ("loaf around").
Loafing around interrupts moves that take multiple turns the same way :mechanic:`paralysis`, :mechanic:`flinching`, etc do. Most such moves, for example :move:`Bide` or :move:`Rollout`, are simply cut off upon loafing around. Attacks with a recharge turn, such as :move:`Hyper Beam`, do not have to recharge; attacks with a preparation turn, such as :move:`Fly` or :move:`Skull Bash`, do not end up being used. Moves that are forced over multiple turns and keep going through failure, such as :move:`Outrage`, :move:`Uproar`, or any move forced by :move:`Encore`, keep going as usual.
If this Pokémon is :mechanic:`confused`, its confusion is not checked when loafing around; the Pokémon cannot hurt itself, and its confusion does not end or come closer to ending.
If this Pokémon attempts to move but fails, e.g. because of :mechanic:`paralysis` or :move:`Gravity`, it still counts as having moved and will loaf around the next turn.
