Thread: How great is the Facade boost?

    Default How great is the Facade boost?

    By how much does Facade's power grow if you're statused? Is it doubled, a 50% boost, or just a small thing which doesn't make it worthwhile? It's because I'm thinking about the typical Bulk Up/Rest/Sleep Talk/Return Ursaring, but changing Return for Facade so it gets stronger with Rest.

    It's doubled. From 70 to 140. With STAB, that's 210 base power.

    A popular myth. In reality, Normal has always gotten STAB when used by Normal-type pokémon. The myth that it doesn't was probably started when a game guide said Normal-type moves don't get STAB, by which they meant things like Quick Attack on Pikachu or Scratch on Charmander...

    And with Ursaring's Guts trait, that makes a base power of 315 Imagine that with Ursaring's outrageous attack; it's got the greatest attack of any Normal Pokémon except Slaking, I think. Definitely worth a try!
