Metronome (Japanese: ゆびをふる Wag Finger) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Metronome randomly selects a move and fully executes the attack. An attack called by Metronome in this way counts as the last move used.

If Metronome successfully calls Hyper Beam or a partial trapping move and has 0 PP before the move fully executes, its PP can roll over in the same manner as the move is called. A Pokémon will be able to use a move that is disabled if called via Metronome.

Because Metronome has normal move priority, a move with higher or lower priority may be executed other than when it normally would. For instance, Metronome may cause Quick Attack to be used after a normal priority move or Vital Throw to be used before a normal priority move.

Metronome will not select itself, any move the user knows, or any of the following moves:

Move Type Cat.

Trivia

  • Metronome can be learned by at least one Pokémon of each elemental type except the Template:Type2.
  • Ironically, Chatot cannot learn Metronome, despite having a metronome-shaped tail. Furthermore, wild Chatot may even be holding the item Metronome. This is because the Japanese name for the move is "Wag Finger" and Chatot has no fingers.
