Boosts the [[power]] of a move used consecutively by the holder. The Metronome boosts the power of a move by 10% for every time it has been used consecutively, up to a maximum increase of 100%. If the Pokémon is switched out or uses a different move, the counter is reset.
Boosts the [[power]] of a move used consecutively by the holder. The Metronome boosts the power of a move by 10% for each previous, consecutive turn it has been used successfully, up to a maximum increase of 100% (which requires using the same move 11 or more times in a row). If the Pokémon is switched out or uses a different move, the bonus is reset to 0%.

If a Pokémon uses a {{cat|Moves that call other moves|move that calls another move}}, the move that it turns into is what's taken into account when determining whether the bonus should accumulate or reset.
If a Pokémon uses a {{cat|Moves with a charging turn|move with a charging turn}}, that move is considered to be successfully used during the charging turn, and will accumulate a boost that applies to the attacking turn.
