It means “every alternate turn”. So Slaking will attack on one turn, but he will always “slack off” on the next turn. Then attack, then slack off and so on like that.
There is nothing you can do to work around this. The only real strategy in battle is to switch in, attack, and switch out again. You still lose the turn this way but you can usually avoid a bit of damage.
The Pokémon can’t attack on consecutive turns.http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Truant
Basically, Slaking cannot attack two turns in a row. It will be like this:
Turn 1:Slaking used Facade!
Turn 2:He’s loafing off!
turn 3: he used focus punch
Turn 4:He’s loafing off.
and so on…
