Effect
After the Pokémon uses a move succesfully, it has a chance of raising its Sp. Def by one stat rank. This skill can range from Acumen 1 to Acumen 9, with higher numbered skills resulting in a greater chance of raising the Pokémon's Sp. Def. Acumen 9 will always raise the Pokémon's Sp. Def.
The effect applies to the Pokémon's attack moves, including 
buddy moves, but not sync moves or max moves.
