Detailed Effect

Acupressure raises one the user's stats chosen randomly: Attackstat img, Defensestat img, Speedstat img, Special Attackstat img, Special Defensestat img, accuracystat img, evasionstat img by two stages.
Acupressure will never choose a stat that is already raised to its limit.
Statsstat img can be raised to a maximum of +6 stages each.
Acupressure can be applied to an adjacent ally and it can not be stolen by Snatch.
Acupressure fails if the target ally is protected by Crafty Shield.
Acupressure targets a field position and will fail if it initially targeted an ally but now targets itself due to position shifting in Triple Battles or Ally Switch.
  • In Gen 4 Acupressure can be stolen by {Snatch;MOVE;snatch} and it fails if the target ally (but not the user) is behind a Substitute.
