Acupressure (Japanese: つぼをつく Point Strike) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation IV.
Effect
Generation IV
Acupressure chooses one of the target's stats at random and raises it by two stages. It can raise either the target's Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed, accuracy or evasion stat but will not attempt to raise a stat that is already maximized, meaning that the move will fail if all stats are maximized. Acupressure will also fail if the target is under the effects of Substitute.
In a Double Battle, Acupressure can target an adjacent ally or the user itself.
Generation V
Acupressure will no longer fail if the target is the user while behind a substitute; it will still fail if targeting an ally behind a Substitute.
Generation VI
Acupressure will fail if used on an ally that is protected by Crafty Shield, but not if used on the user.
