- You pay 500 Life Points and destroy Telekinetic Shocker when a face-up Psychic-Type monster on the field would be destroyed, including a Psychic-Type monster your opponent controls. This effect does not use the Chain.
- If 2 or more face-up Psychic-Type monsters would be destroyed by the same effect, you can destroy Telekinetic Shocker instead and the Psychic-Type monsters are not destroyed. If Telekinetic Shocker will also be destroyed by the same effect, you cannot use its effect.
