On Smogon's Movedex: Generation IX

Metal Burst is a Steel-type move introduced in Generation IV that doubles the damage dealt by the foe

Effect

Metal Burst is a move in the Physical category that returns double the damage the foe dealt. Unlike Counter or Mirror Coat, Metal Burst doesn't have a specific type of damage that needs to be taken, any hit will work. As a consequence to this, Metal Burst does 1.5x damage instead of 2x like Counter and Mirror Coat.
