Competitive Analysis

Psycho Shift is a great way to cure and pass a status condition of a Pokemon to another.

Realistically only burn, paralysis, poison, including being badly poisoned, and sleep through Sleep Talk are the only status conditions that can be passed to a target by Psycho Shift. Being frozen will leave a Pokemon useless as it cannot use any moves until it is thawed.

Under very specific instances, this could be a great way to power up a Guts attacker!
