| # | Location | Repeatable? |
| 1 | Memorial Pillar (Five Island) – Leave a Lemonade as an offering | No |
You will get TM42 Facade from an NPC at Memorial Pillar, which is just south of Five Island in the Sevii Islands. This NPC will give you the TM if you leave a Lemonade as an offering at the tombstone of his Pokémon.
You can buy a Lemonade at the rooftop of the Celadon Department Store.
But to reach Five Island you’ll need to use the Rainbow Pass at the Vermilion City port. The pass is given to you after you’ve beaten the Elite Four for the first time, and after you show Professor Oak your Pokédex with at least 60 Pokémon recorded in it.
And to reach the Memorial Pillar you’ll need a Pokémon in your party who knows HM03 Surf. The pillar site and Five Island are separated by a body of water.
TM42 Facade Location (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Head south from the Five Island Pokémon Center onto the beach below.
Step 2: Head east across the beach, then climb the stairs ahead going up next to a small building.
Step 3: Begin walking northeast, passing through the tall grass.
Step 4: Head south past the Team Rocket grunt ahead.
Step 5: Continue south through the island, taking the set of stairs ahead.
Step 6: From the bottom of the stairs, turn towards the water and use HM03 Surf. Then start surfing towards the east on the water.
Step 7: Head east across the water, passing the rocks.
Step 8: After passing the rocks, start surfing south. You’ll pass a body of land to your right.
Step 9: Continue surfing south past the NPC on the beach.
Step 10: Just ahead to the south is another beach – land here.
Step 11: Follow the beach’s path going down, then take the two sets of stairs on your left. These will bring you up onto the land near Memorial Pillar.
Step 12: Ahead up the stairs is a large rock pillar. Interact with the pillar when you have a Lemonade in your bag.
You can purchase a Lemonade from the vending machines on the rooftop of the Celadon City Dept. Store.
Step 13: When you interact with the rock you’ll be prompted to leave a Lemonade as tribute at the pillar, which is a deceased Pokémon’s gravestone.
Step 14: After giving a Lemonade as tribute, the NPC next to you will reveal themselves as the deceased Pokémon’s trainer.
They will then give you TM42 Facade.
TM42 Facade Details + Uses
| Facade Move Details | |
|---|---|
| Type | Normal |
| Category | Physical |
| Power | 70 |
| Accuracy | 100 |
| PP | 20 |
Facade is a Physical Normal-type attack that doesn’t look like much on the surface.
Its 70 base Power is modest and still fairly useful by itself. But it can become quite powerful thanks to its secondary effect.
If the user of Facade is paralyzed, burned, or poisoned, Facade’s base power doubles from 70 to 140.
With perfect Accuracy and 20 PP, the attack can be dominating over the course of battle.
So even though this TM is only available in the post-game, it’s definitely a TM worth getting.
Who To Teach Facade To
The move Facade is commonly taught to Pokémon with the Guts ability. If a Pokémon with the Guts ability is suffering from a status infliction, its Attack stat is increased by 50%. This combination can considerably increase the damage potential of Facade.
There are a handful of Pokémon in FireRed & LeafGreen that can learn Facade and that also having the Guts ability.
The list includes Heracross, Raticate, and Machamp.
Heracross and Machamp are ideal options to teach Facade to, as they both feature a great Attack stat and they can carry a handful of other great moves in their movepool.
