Oh, this memory has stuck with me.

I sent out my Clefairy against another. I use metronome, and miss with Sheer Cold. The opposing Clefairy also used Sheer Cold. And hit.

Best: Blast Burn, Rock Wrecker. No recoil.

Worst: Blast Burn, Rock Wrecker. I was fighting a Geodude.


BTW, does Metronome make you use a move you don't know, or any move?


Cuz my Electabuzz got Thunderpunch when it knew Thunderpunch.

I had amazing luck with metronome that my Mew on Yellow have (yea, I was a noob back then), I kept getting powerful+super effective moves according to whatever I was against (ex.: Hydro Pump against a fire type, followed by Thunder/Thunderbolt against a Gyarados, etc). Saved me quite a few times...

Unfortunately I had my bad days too, like Splash... erf.

And I think there's one time Metronome called in... Metronome XD Not 100% sure though.
 
Best time: Using Metronome and getting Explosion which won me tha match in the SS 4th Gym leader.

Worst time: Metronome turning into Fling while my Poke was holding an EXP.Share -.-

A togepi used sheer cold on my Conkeldurr and Entie. Back to back!

My best Metronome moment was in Heartgold, where my Togepi pulled off Roar of Time against Morty's Gengar. Another good one was in Platinum, where my Togepi used Dark Pulse against Fantina's Duskull. An awesome one used against me was in Crystal, where Whitney's Clefairy used Selfdestruct against my Gastly.

Now for the worst ones. The worst was actually in a Mystery Dungeon game. In Explorers of Time, Mew's first move against me was Metronome, which became Frenzy Plant. I was a Piplup. Ow. Also, Whitney's Clefairy wound up using Thunder against my Scyther in Soulsilver.

Morty's gym in HG/SS, I got rid of Extrasensory for Metronome like an idiot, and Togepi was my last pokemon against his last pokemon. I'm thinking, what the hell else can I do?

Metronome gets an ohko Shadow Force.

In XD, there was some sort of rental mode. I was playing a double battle against my brother. Both of our pokemon had Metronome (I think they were a Geodude and a Squirtle but idk), We both used it, targeting each other, and got transform.
