Metronome (Japanese: ゆびをふる Wag Finger) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM35 in Generation I.

Effect

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Unselectable moves after Generation V

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

In Generation I, 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, with full PP Ups applied. 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.

Pokémon that know Metronome are banned from participating in Pokéstar Studio films.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Metronome, the randomly selected move will become its corresponding Z-Move.

Metronome will not select itself or any of the following moves:

In other games

Super Smash Bros. series

In Super Smash Bros., if Clefairy is released from a Poké Ball, it will use Metronome to copy a move done by another Poké Ball Pokémon. It returns in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but its options are reduced to Explosion, Blizzard, and Fire Spin.

Togepi is another Pokémon in Melee that will use Metronome when released from a Poké Ball. It can call up Sleep Powder, Leech Seed, Magnitude, Powder Snow, or Night Shade. It reappears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, with SmokeScreen replacing Night Shade and Earthquake replacing Magnitude. Togepi also uses Metronome in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, where its possible effects are now Night Shade, Magnitude, Blizzard, Sing, and Leech Seed.
