 ===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.
+In a [[Double Battle]], Acupressure can target an adjacent ally or the user itself, unlike in a Single Battle where it will always target 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.
+Acupressure will no longer fail if the target is under the effects of Substitute, as long as the user targets itself. It will still fail if targeting an adjacent ally behind a Substitute.
