Psycho Shift

Psychic

Summary

Psycho Shift is a Psychic-type move with no base power and 100% accuracy. Instead of dealing damage, Psycho Shift transfers the user's status condition (such as burn, paralysis, or poison) to the target. This move can be strategically used to transfer negative statuses to opponents, making it useful in competitive play. Psycho Shift does not work if the opponent is immune to the status condition being transferred or if the opponent already has a status condition. This move can be particularly effective when combined with abilities or items that allow the user to gain beneficial effects from certain status conditions, like Flame Orb or Toxic Orb.
