Psycho Shift transfers any major status condition the user has (Poison, Burn, Paralysis, Sleep, Freeze) to the target, if the target does not already have a status condition.

Poison or Steel type Pokémon, those with the ability Immunity or those behind a Substitute cannot be poisoned. Fire type Pokémon, those with the ability Water Veil or those behind a Substitute cannot be burned. Electric type Pokémon, those with the ability Limber or those behind a Substitute cannot be paralyzed. Pokémon with the abilities Insomnia or Vital Spirit, or those behind a Substitute cannot be put to sleep. Ice type Pokémon, those with the ability Magma Armor or those behind a Substitute cannot be frozen.

When a Pokémon is holding Psychium Z and uses its Z-Power, Psycho Shift turns into Z-Psycho Shift and raises Special Attack two stages, in addition to its usual effect as above.
