Acupressure (Japanese: つぼをつく Point Strike) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

Acupressure chooses one of the user's Stats at random and raises it by two stages. It can raise either the user's Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, Special Defense, Accuracy or Evasion stat.

In a double battle, Acupressure may also be used on an ally to raise one if its stats chosen at random.
