Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
Facade deals damage. Its power is increased if the user has a bad status condition that does not prevent it from using moves (prior to Gates to Infinity, only burn and poison status conditions will power up Facade). Its power is doubled in the Rescue Team and Explorers series, and increased by 50% in Super Mystery Dungeon. In Super Mystery Dungeon, Facade also ignores the Attack drop from the Burned status condition.
