'''Metronome''' (Japanese: '''ゆびをふる''' ''Wag Finger'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM35]] in Generation I, [[TR14]] in [[Generation VIII]], and is [[TM080]] in [[Generation IX]].

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|Interaction with choice items and moves the user already knows aside from Generation V}}

The Metronome user executes a randomly selected [[list of moves|move]]. This called move counts as the last move used.

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 {{m|Quick Attack}} to be used after a normal priority move or {{m|Counter}} to be used before a normal priority move.

===Generation I===
If Metronome successfully calls {{m|Hyper Beam}} or a [[bound|binding]] move and has 0 [[PP]] before the move fully executes, {{DL|List of glitches (Generation I)|Struggle bypassing|its PP can roll over}} in the same manner as the move is called, with full [[PP Up]]s applied. A Pokémon will be able to use a move that is disabled if called via Metronome.

===Generation II===
The Struggle bypassing glitch was fixed, so Metronome's PP cannot roll over.

===Generations III and IV===
Metronome will not prioritize any Pokémon to target; it will randomly target any opponent a move is able to target (even if the move has a positive effect, such as {{m|Heal Pulse}}). If the move can only target the field, a team, or the user, it will do so. If Metronome chooses {{m|Acupressure}}, it can target the user or an ally (in a [[Single Battle]], it will always target the user).

===Generations V and VI===
If Metronome chooses Acupressure in a [[Rotation Battle]], it will always target the user.

Pokémon that know Metronome are banned from participating in [[Pokéstar Studios|Pokéstar Studio]] films.

If Metronome calls a move the user knows and its user is holding a [[Choice Band]], [[Choice Specs]], or [[Choice Scarf]], the move Metronome called will be locked by the Choice item. Otherwise, Metronome is the locked move. If a multi-turn move called by Metronome triggers {{a|Cursed Body}}, the multi-turn move will be disabled by Cursed Body, even if the user of Metronome does not know that move; otherwise, Metronome will be disabled.

===Generation VII onwards===
If Metronome calls a multi-turn move such as {{m|Rollout}} or {{m|Dig}} and its user is holding a [[Choice Band]], [[Choice Specs]], or [[Choice Scarf]], the move will activate on the first turn, but will fail and end the move on the next turn.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Metronome, the randomly selected move will become its corresponding [[Z-Move]]. If the selected move is a [[status move]], it will not receive its Z-Power effect.

===Unselectable moves===
{{MoveResearch|Whether Shadow moves can be called, known moves in Gen 8 and Gen 9}}{{Incomplete|needs=Fill in missing moves on the table}}

In all [[core series]] games except [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Metronome can select any move except itself, a [[Max Move]], a [[Z-Move]], or any of the moves marked with a ✘ in the following table:

Moves the user knows were intended to be unselectable in [[Generation III]], but due to a coding error, this prohibition does not actually take effect.

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Metronome can only select moves introduced in [[Generation I]]. It can select any move introduced in Generation I, except itself and the following moves:

{{MoveResearch|Move lists for later Mystery Dungeon games}}
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Metronome picks a random move from the eligible pool, and the user will perform it in the direction it is currently facing. Despite being classified as a status move, Metronome is not affected by {{m|Taunt}} in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] series. This is changed from the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series. 

The pool of selectable moves is noticeably smaller than in main series; out of all moves in the games, only the following can be called:

====In-depth description====
Metronome randomly chooses one strong attack move of each type or—on very rare occasions—{{m|Fissure}}. All potential moves are as follows:

===[[Super Smash Bros.]] series===
In [[Super Smash Bros.]], if {{p|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 {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Fire Spin}}, and {{m|Gust}}.

{{p|Togepi}} is another Pokémon in Melee that will use Metronome when released from a Poké Ball. It can call up {{m|Sleep Powder}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Magnitude}}, {{m|Powder Snow}}, or {{m|Night Shade}}. It reappears in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], with {{m|SmokeScreen}} replacing Night Shade and {{m|Hypnosis}} replacing Sleep Powder. Togepi uses this new moveset in every game after Brawl.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, {{p|Clefable}}'s Unite Move, [[Clefable (UNITE)#Unite Move|Wonder Wish]], is similar to Metronome.

==Trivia==
* The move's Japanese name refers to the wagging finger associated with the move, implying the user is randomly deciding a move from a list.  The move's English name refers to the regular ticks associated with the move, which sound like the device it is named after.
* In the Pokémon anime, {{m|Splash}} has been the most common result of Metronome.
* The move description was incorrect in Generations II and III, as they stated that the Metronome user can use any move (in reality, there are some unusable moves). This was fixed from Generation IV onwards, stating "nearly any move" instead.
