Acupressure (Japanese: つぼをつく Point Strike) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation IV.
Effect
Generation IV
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 but will not attempt to raise a stat that is already maximized. Acupressure will fail if the user or target is under the effects of Substitute.
In a double battle, Acupressure may also be used on an ally to raise one of its stats chosen at random.
Generation V
When a Pokémon is under the effects of Substitute, it can successfully use Acupressure on itself, but Acupressure used on it by an ally will fail.
Pokémon Rumble Blast
If an ally is in front of the user for the moment when Acupressure is being used, one of its stats is randomly boosted.
