Does anybody know what pokemon can learn this by the move tutor in emerald?--[[User:Acfan|Acfan]] 22:58, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

==Metronome and Sketch==
The article states that Metronome can call on any move other than itself and Struggle, but I was curious to know what the situation is regarding Sketch. Can it be called? If so, does it automatically fail? Whatever the answer, it could make an interesting (if minor) addition to the article.

:This is a good question and I wonder why nobody has answered since November [[User:The Dark Fiddler|Rawr I say!]] 22:42, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

== Contradictory statements ==
It says metronome can use a move that has been disabled, but it also says that it can't use a move that the user knows.
How can it use a move that's disabled if it can't use a move the user know!?!
Unless it means a disabled move the opponent has, in which case it's not worth mentioning. [[User:Derian|&#91;&#91;Derian&#93;&#93;]]
:I think it means that if the Pokémon used say, {{m|Water Gun}} through Metronome and then the opponent used {{m|Disable}}, Water Gun could still be used through Metronome. However, the article is not very clear and the line saying that it can use a disabled move may need removing. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|Snorlax]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|Monster]].

==In reference to both of the above topics . . .==
I think the effects for this move need to be split into Generations.  I don't think all the moves on the chart are withhelf from Metronome in all generations.  for example, I'm fairly certain I remember there being a great deal of controversy in Generation II when people figured out that Metronome could Sketch a move, technically expanding several Pokémon's movesets if going completely by RAW and ignoring the spirit of the learnsets.  Also, I'm not completely sure Metronome couldn't select a move you already know in all the Generations.  So, overall, what I'm looking for is some one who ''really'' knows his Metronome to take a look at this article.  [[User:Schreiber|Schreiber]] 23:37, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

== Metal Burst ==

Can this move be called on from Metronome? I'm wondering since it's similar to Counter and Mirror Coat. [[User:Ht14|<span style="color:#B69E00"><sup>'''''ht'''''</sup></span>]][[User talk:Ht14|<span style="color:#E1E1E1"><small>''14''</small></span>]] 00:48, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

==Using moves a Pokémon already knows?==

I distinctly remember in LeafGreen when I had a Clefairy that knew Metronome, Water Pulse, and Meteor Mash, and on more than one occasion Metronome called upon at least both Water Pulse and Meteor Mash one time each.  Anyone care to investigate? --[[User:Falchiar|&#91;&#91;User:Falchiar&#93;&#93;( &#91;&#91;User talk:Falchiar&#93;&#93; )]] 20:34, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
:I vaugely recall a Magmar I had in Gold.  Its Metronome frequently called up ThunderPunch, despite the fact that it already knew the move.  <small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

  it may be that metronome cant use any move in a pokemons natural learn set, but can use moves that the pokemon can learn through tm's and hm's [[User:Slowking770|Slowking770]] 20:29, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

==Notable?==
I think it's notable that Metronome could come up Judgement, Arceus's signature move...BEFORE Arceus was officialy revealed. [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 08:05, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
:Not so much. The code for Judgment was still in the game, as was the coding for Arceus. &mdash;'''<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="color:#000">darklord</span>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 08:51, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
::Also, {{m|Dark Void}} and {{m|Seed Flare}} could also be used through Metronome before {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} were revealed if you're going to go there. But I don't think that it's trivia worthy anyway. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:06, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
You may have misunderstood-of course the coding was already in the game, but the point was that the Pokemon that can use them weren't officialy revealed yet, but the moves could be ''discovered'' before that, which would mean everyone would know that there was going to be a new Pokemon. I thought that it was trivia worthy. [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 07:10, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
:Metronome could use Psycho Boost/Doom Desire in Gen III before Deoxys and Jirachi were revealed... Metronome could pick Blast Burn/Frenzy Plant/Hydro Cannon before they were officially available... hell Metronome could pick Volt Tackle before Emerald was released. This is nothing new. ▫▫'''[[User:Tina|<span style="color:#e072a9;">ティナ</span>]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Tina|<span style="color:#728084;">♫</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|<span style="color:#728084;">★</span>]]</sup> 02:05, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

== Umm... ==

In Generation III, I have a Snorlax that knows both Metronome and Surf (the other moves aren't important). Now, the article states that Pokémon cannot Metronome moves it already knows, but it Metronomed Surf. Now that I think of it, for a while it only '''used''' the moves it already knew.
