*"''If the Pokémon is forced to use a move other than the one it selected, will target a random foe (if it can target a single foe); if the move is Acupressure, it will randomly target either the user or the ally.''" | *"''If the Pokémon is forced to use a move other than the one it selected, will target a random foe (if it can target a single foe); if the move is Acupressure, it will randomly target either the user or the ally.''" | ||
One thing that's particularly confusing is "the move" in "''If the move is Acupressure''"; does "the move" refer to "a move the Encore'd Pokemon is forced to use other than the one it selected", and if so how would one be forced to use Acupressure (or more generally ''anything'' except Struggle)?

#Pokémon A uses Feint on turn 1. On turn 2, Pokémon B uses Encore on Pokémon A before it can use Roar, forcing it to use Feint that turn instead (but since movement order is determined at the start of the turn, Feint will still be used when Roar would have been). | |||
#Pokémon A uses Tackle on turn 1. On turn 2, Pokémon B uses Encore on Pokémon A before it can use Scratch, forcing it to use Tackle that turn instead. Tackle targets a random foe, since Tackle can target a single foe. | |||
#Pokémon A uses Acupressure on turn 1. On turn 2, Pokémon B uses Encore on Pokémon A before it can use Scratch, forcing it to use Acupressure that turn instead. Acupressure targets either the user or its ally randomly. | |||
:I've edited the article to clarify that line from "If the move is Acupressure" to "If the move the Pokémon is locked into is Acupressure". Basically, if you haven't already used your move when you are affected by Encore, you will be forced to use the move your are now locked into with Encore instead of the move you chose that turn. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 03:03, 9 July 2014 (UTC) | |||
