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

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


In a [[Double Battle]], Acupressure may also be used on an ally to raise one of its stats chosen at random.
Acupressure can target an adjacent ally or the user itself.
 
===Generation V onward===
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.
 
If a Pokémon selected Acupressure as its move, but when executing the move it is in a different position (due to changing places in a [[Triple Battle]] or {{m|Ally Switch}}), Acupressure will be used on the Pokémon currently in the targeted position (even if it 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.


===Generation V===
When a Pokémon is under the effects of {{m|Substitute}}, it can successfully use Acupressure on itself, but Acupressure used on it by an ally will fail.
