===Generation IV===
===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 {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, {{stat|Speed}}, {{stat|accuracy}} or {{stat|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 {{m|Substitute}}.

Acupressure will also fail if the target is under the effects of {{m|Substitute}}.


In a [[Double Battle]], Acupressure can target an adjacent ally or the user itself.
In this generation only, Acupressure can be stolen by {{m|Snatch}}. The move will apply to the user of Snatch regardless of the move's original target.


===Generation V===
===Generation V onwards===
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.
Acupressure will no longer fail if the target is the user and the user is behind a substitute; it will still fail if targeting an ally behind a Substitute. Acupressure can no longer be stolen by Snatch.


===Generation VI===
If a Pokémon selected Acupressure as its move, but when executing the move it is in a different position (due to shifting in a [[Triple Battle]] or {{m|Ally Switch}}), Acupressure will be used on the Pokémon currently in the targeted position (even if the user targeted itself initially); however, if the user now targets itself but did not initially, Acupressure fails.
Acupressure will fail if used on an ally that is protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}, but not if used on the user.
 
If the user's side of the field is protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}, Acupressure will fail if executed on an ally but succeed if executed on the user.
 
If powered up by a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Normalium Z}} into Z-Acupressure, the user's [[critical hit]] rate is increased.

Acupressure (Japanese: つぼをつく Point Strike) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: By how much is the critical hit ratio boosted by Z-Acupressure?

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 this generation only, Acupressure can be stolen by Snatch. The move will apply to the user of Snatch regardless of the move's original target.

Generation V onwards

Acupressure will no longer fail if the target is the user and the user is behind a substitute; it will still fail if targeting an ally behind a Substitute. Acupressure can no longer be stolen by Snatch.

If a Pokémon selected Acupressure as its move, but when executing the move it is in a different position (due to shifting in a Triple Battle or Ally Switch), Acupressure will be used on the Pokémon currently in the targeted position (even if the user targeted itself initially); however, if the user now targets itself but did not initially, Acupressure fails.

If the user's side of the field is protected by Crafty Shield, Acupressure will fail if executed on an ally but succeed if executed on the user.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Acupressure, the user's critical hit rate is increased.
