From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Ally Switch (Japanese: サイドチェンジ Side Change) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation V. It was TM51 in Generation V. In Generation VIII, it is TR83.

Effect

Generation V-VI

Ally Switch causes the user to switch places with the ally opposite to itself, and is an increased-priority move. It will fail if the user is in the middle of the field in a Triple Battle, if the user has no ally opposite it, or if used in a Single Battle, Multi Battle, Rotation Battle, or Horde Encounter.

If a Pokémon targeted an ally with a move, but as a result of Ally Switch the Pokémon is now targeting itself when it would execute the move, the move will fail (even if the move is Acupressure).

Generation VII onwards

Ally Switch had its priority increased to +2.

Snipe Shot and the abilities Stalwart and Propeller Tail ignore Ally Switch and hit the intended target.

If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Ally Switch, the user's Speed stat rises by two stages.
