A related question:  Because the description says "transferred", does this mean the user will be healed of their status ailments at the same time? --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 21:31, 8 February 2011 (UTC)''

== Which [[status ailment]]s? ==
The effect of this move could benefit from some expansion....
* Does it transfer all status conditions (à la {{m|Baton Pass}}) or only ''non-volatile'' status?
* Does it heal the user of those conditions?
* Are there circumstances (aside from Protect/Fly/Dig/etc.) where the move will fail?
My own gameplay experience (using a {{p|Noctowl}} with Psycho Shift) suggests:
* The user appears to be healed of whichever status ailments are given to their opponent.
* It doesn't seem able to transfer Confusion (or, possibly, ''any'' non-volatile status) to the opponent.
** This could mean Psycho Shift cannot affect opponents already affected by a non-volatile status (Poison, etc).
Can we verify any of these? --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 06:49, 27 February 2011 (UTC)''
