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}}.

===Generation VI===
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.
