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


==Effect==
==Effect==
Acupressure chooses one of the user's [[Stat]]s 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.  
===Generation IV===
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 this generation only, Acupressure can be stolen by {{m|Snatch}}. The move will apply to the user of Snatch regardless of the move's original target.
 
===Generation V onwards===
Acupressure will no longer fail if the target is the user and the user is behind a substitute; it will still fail if targeting an ally behind a Substitute. Acupressure can no longer be stolen by Snatch.


In a [[double battle]], Acupressure may also be used on an ally to raise one if its stats chosen at random.
If a Pokémon selected Acupressure as its move, but when executing the move it is in a different position (due to shifting in a [[Triple Battle]] or {{m|Ally Switch}}), Acupressure will be used on the Pokémon currently in the targeted position (even if the user targeted itself initially); however, if the user now targets itself but did not initially, Acupressure fails.
 
If the user's side of the field is protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}, Acupressure will fail if executed on an ally but succeed if executed on the user.
 
If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Acupressure, the user's [[critical hit]] rate is increased by two stages.

Acupressure randomly raises the Attack, Defense, Sp. Attack or Sp. Defense of the user and all teammates in the same room by two stages (picking randomly for each team member). The move will not raise a stat that is already at +10, and fails if all four stats are maxed out.
