How great is the Facade boost?

[Foguet]

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.

I thought normal didn't get STAB'ed...

I thought normal didn't get STAB'ed...

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...

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

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!
