Metal Burst (Japanese: メタルバースト Metal Burst) is a damage-dealing Steel-type move introduced in Generation IV.
Effect
Metal Burst returns 1.5 times the damage dealt by the foe's last attack. Only the last damage taken will be counted, if the user is hit by a multi-hit move, only the damage from the final hit will be counted. Unlike Counter or Mirror Coat, Metal Burst does not require specifically physical or special damage sources and Metal Burst does not have decreased priority; if the user acts before it is hit by an opponent's damaging move, Metal Burst will fail. The move also fails if the user's substitute is hit instead. In battles involving multiple Pokémon, Metal Burst will hit the last opponent that dealt damage to the user, even if that opponent is not adjacent to the user. However, if the last Pokémon to hit the user faints before the user moves, the remaining enemy Pokémon will be hit instead, like with a regular single-target damaging move (using the damage taken from the move of the now-fainted Pokémon that had hit the user). Metal Burst cannot affect allied Pokémon.
Metal Burst can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves Encore, Taunt, or Torment was used in the prior turn.

In Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness and Explorers of Sky, Metal Burst is a non-damaging move with 16 PP. The user will give itself Metal Burst status condition for 8-11 turns, causing adjacent attacks be reflected back at adjacent enemies for half the damage. Being a non-damaging move, it is affected by Taunt.
In Gates to Infinity onwards, the user will reflect 3/4 of the move's damage back at the attacker. The status now lasts 6 turns.
