    Almost everyone I talk to about pokemon. Tell me Facade sucks. That I should replace it with the likes of. Steel wing, Quick attack etc.

    I keep telling them that with Guts and STAB. Seeing Facades base power becomes 140 when you are inflicted with a status condition. Its almost like hyper beam without the recharge. Then when I tell em that. They chaange the subject.
     
    Facade is a VERY weak attack, unless your opponent paralyzes your Swellow or poisons it etc. Facade is not that strong.

    But if you are one of those guys that waste turns playing X Attack or somethings similiar to it, then go for it.

    Since when is 70 base power VERY weak. It may be weak. But not very weak. VERY weak is more along the lines of 50 and below.

    70 base power is the Maximum for Hidden power. You dont see people calling it "very weak". Swellow is the only Guts pokemon that can STAB from facade. Facade is not meant to be an all time offensive. Especially if you have three other moves to choose from.

    Enyce, maybe all those you talked to have no ideea what they're saying, like this guy here. Facade is a great attack, and the only reason to use Swellow, else everyone would go with Dodrio, or even Fearow. I won't explain why, because you already know the whole story.
     
    Facade has a base power of 45. i am looking at it right now on my cacturne.
     
    I am looking right now on my game and it says Pwr 45 Acc 100 pp 20 i am reading that off my game right now.
     
    *Reads off his gameboy.*

    Type: Normal
    Power: 70
    Accuracy: 100
    PP: 20

    Dunno what game you're playing, but you're wrong.
     
    What is with this guy. earth to soilder2021 earth to soilder2021, facade has 70 power.

    And besides its great on swellow.

    I don't want to sound mean or something, also, I've dealed with crazy people before, but YOU HAVE NO IDEEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!
    Facade has 70 BP, ask anyone, look anywhere. And if you still don't get it, you're either really dumb or just a flamer. Both options are bad.

    Soldier, please stop posting nonsense like that. Facade has a base power of 70, and when the user gets statused, it DOUBLES to 140, making it almost as strong as Hyper Beam without the turn loss.

    Even IF it had a power and accuracy like that it is still great on swellow with a status condition.
    (((45 Base x 2) x 1.5) x 1.5) = 202.5

    True, above i stated " [unless] your opponent paralyzes your Swellow or poisons it etc. Facade is not that strong.
    But if you are one of those guys that waste turns playing X Attack or somethings similiar to it, then go for it."

    With respect, i am quoting stats which are literally in my Ruby Version. My brothers Sapphire Version says the exact same thing as my Ruby, but his Emerald says 70.

    Well thats not a game boy image. Thats an emerald rom image. I took on an emulator.

    The only way I think you could really prove it is. To take a photo of your gameboy and scan it online. Or take it with a webcam or something. I did a screen capture.
