Metronome Move Detail
Metronome is a Normal-type move with no set power or accuracy. When used, Metronome randomly selects any move in the game (except a few specific ones like Assist, Copycat, Me First, Metronome itself, Mirror Move, and Sketch) and executes it. The unpredictability of Metronome makes it a fun and unpredictable move, often used for entertainment rather than competitive reliability. It essentially allows the user to perform any possible move, leading to a wide array of outcomes and adding an element of surprise to battles. Metronome is notable for its unique mechanic and the potential for both powerful and weak moves to be selected.
