Format Discussion Metronome Battle

[ULTRAV01D]

You're right

the actual purpose of this team, is for the magikarp to die turn 1, giving shedinja sturdy. So it both makes a broken mon AND breaks any kind of impostor team.

The only way to win this is to get either disable, or perish song (but that doesnt even guarantee a win) it forces you to be either slower, or very lucky.

So, in conclusion, Ban Receiver + Sturdy so both of these problems go away.

I disagree.

I’ve used a team similar to this (replacing Magikarp with life orb Deoxys attack) and the team is terrible.
There are so many things that could go wrong such as shedinja dying first, getting your ability changed, running out of pp, etc. Overall I think there is no reason for banning this team, as there isn’t any big problems caused by it.

this team is borderline unusable cause of pp. If you run out of pp 1st shed dies to struggle damage. if they run out of pp 1st, struggle goes through sturdy and you die. The only way to win with it is if shed naturally kos them b4 pp runs out (and its a 1v2 so thats hard) or if one of their mons get koed and the other gets brought into struggle ko range the turn you lose pp, then kill them with stuggle (assuming they don't outspend and use struggle first), which needless to say, isn't gonna happen consistently. and thats not to mention other problems like rolling a recoil move, getting statused, confusion, and more

So yeah, its really fine, don't think it needs to be banned

Getting hit by Struggle is just a regular move and doesn't pierce Sturdy, which means Shedinja has an extra chance to stall to win with paralysis or something, but otherwise this is spot on as to why this infamous strategy has been the opposite of broken since 2019, and even in the time when Sturdinja was fully unbanned it just ended up being boring and led to everyone running counter abilities to relegate it to low ladder anyway. I think Imposter having a bugged interaction with Receiver/Power of Alchemy is funny though.

when i was using it, shed would always die b4 pp ran out or lose pp 1st so i never got to that interaction lol. I thought struggle was immune to abilities but i guess not. but yeah it still a pretty bad strategy even with a struggle immunity

MFW shedinja loses to omnipresent toxic chain

struggle goes through sturdy

You're thinking of Wonder Guard.

Despite the interface bug, the game is very capable of finishing despite needing to submit moves for both Imposters every turn:

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9metronomebattle-2072738190

All the Sturdy Receiver player has to do is to submit their final move after the Imposter player has submitted both of theirs. Cancel and resubmit your own move if necessary.

Of course, the Sturdy Receiver player could be a griefer and submit their moves ASAP, thus forcing the timer to run out....

As a workaround you cant type /choose move 1, pass or /choose pass, move 1 in the chat. That should work.
The Client seems to think that the fainted blissey (which the client identifies with 0HP) is still alive and tries to send a move option, which obviously does not work D:

IVs: 0 Spe
- Metronome

Aerilate (and all the other -ate abilities) are my personally favourite abilities in metronome and I’ve tested them a lot.
I specifically have 3 teams to take advantage of it.

Team 1

Joe (Pokestar UFO) @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Delta Stream
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Brave Nature
- Metronome

Harold (Heracross-Mega) (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Aerilate
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Brave Nature
- Metronome

This is basically the same as your team but with Heracross instead. I think Heracross is more useful due to there being more normal type physical moves.

Team 2

Delta (Pokestar UFO) @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Delta Stream
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Brave Nature
- Metronome

Alpha (Landorus-Therian) (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Aerilate
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Brave Nature
- Metronome

This is the same thing but with a usable special attack and stronger flying stab. However I think this is worse because it does less damage overall.

Team 3

Lol (Pinsir) (M) @ Pinsirite
Ability: Intrepid Sword
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Brave Nature
- Metronome

Bruh (Slowbro-Mega) (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Delta Stream
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Metronome

Finally, this team is the most unique. It uses a cool strat where you use intrepid sword and then mega to basically get 2 abilities without the drawback of a choice item. It’s also paired with Slowbro because of it’s amazing defense and really good special attack.

I think this is the most successful aerilate will ever be because of the omnipresence of mega venusaur and flower veil teams (that’s also why pixilate fell off a cliff in viability). I think it’s the best anti-meta option.

 

[BeaterGames]

Wait the 3rd one is so fire, I've been trying to hunt for good megas to abuse the double ability use and this one's just so good

Not knowing, but only feeling that one team is better.
It seems like my dice can come in handy.

These are all pretty sick builds. Hard vouch on Aerialate though; I've been running it on Ting-Lu on the typical flower veil team w/M-Venusaur and it's come in handy quite often, not only for the grass mirror but also for ghost teams with how frequent they tend to be (especially Good as Gold for the full diet Gholdengo experience). Having a bigger chunk of rolls actually just hit is a big difference maker compared to other abilities I've ran on Ting-Lu previously.

Refrigerate has some good overlap with Aerialate but the latter feels like it has more coverage with common mon picks, not just grass but stuff like M-Hera, Iron Valiant or M-Pinsir.

Okay, they seem to be pretty equal D:

 

[doipy hooves]

"Unfortunate" doesn't begin to describe my series, this format rewards blind luck and nothing else, I am beyond convinced at this point. After scheduling with my opponents and providing confirmation prior to the day of the match as to play times, losing this way somehow felt even better than I had thought possible. My preparation was superior, my play was superior, and I lost, so I don't see a reason to continue engaging in an activity where what is within my control is overwhelmingly outweighed by what is not.

I am done with competitive Metronome Battles, and you will get a fond farewell. This community is blessed to its roots with a selfless devotion that grows stronger over time and never stops giving back. Metronome Battles used to have a casual spirit at their heart, this has been transplanted and replaced with an artificial organ that feeds on gambling and victory over bots that taunt on the sidelines and silently tear each other to shreds over ladder rating. The environment we fostered has imprisoned us all like this in a vicious cycle, and escaping it requires acceptance of the harshest explosion we all scramble to avoid lest we perish, that none of the countless torments we put ourselves through here will ever amount to one single shining final gambit of significance. I would make this the end, but Welcome to Metro Nome is still ongoing, and I would never leave so many great players out to dry, so I'll enjoy a few more games for them.

One last thing before I leave you all to react with wow, sad, and haha, before you do everything in your power to maximize my words and thoughts, copy them up and paste them to some corner of the internet, and hope it lives forever as a memento of this finite time ground to dust. From this moment on, something you say will matter to me. The kindest words you reply with intent to heal will calmly settle in the heavens above the world, and the love you give will bring all the joy of a warm summer breeze. You are more than anything you can conceive, while I carry on, brimming with joy distilled from attachment.

Congratulations to genisu for winning the Welcome To Metro Nome tournament. In this post I will be analyzing the stats of the replays posted across the entire tournament, to see what was meta and other fun facts. I also plan to hopefully cover usage stats for March by the anniversary of this thread.

The process:
https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/ps-replay-usage-stats-generator-scouter.3608238/
https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/teams-used-in-smogon-tournaments.3695105/
I made use of 2 different technical projects which have their own threads in the Technical Projects forum. https://replaystats-eo.herokuapp.com/ can take in any individual thread and get all the replay links from it, but it doesn't show the stats for Metronome Battle properly because there aren't 6 pokemon. However it does output a list of all replay links, which I can pass into https://fulllifegames.com/Tools/ReplayScouter/#/scouter. I couldn't use the Tournament Teams tab directly because I guess they only take tournaments in the Smogon Tournaments forum.

Note: I think some links may have been broken because of linking to play.pokemonshowdown instead of the replay, which I was able to identify manually. The semifinals/finals thread was also mostly affected because of links either lacking the private key or linking to a proxy link instead, which I was able to fix for the latter. There was also an instance of a joke game in Round 2 played after 3 wins, which I chose to count for the sake of more stats.

(In many ways, Metronome Battle is not fully recognized, but these tools provide enough features that this can still be mostly automated.)


A limitation I noticed is that leads of the same 2 Pokemon are represented as only one Pokemon for the purpose of these stats, unlike Smogon usage stats. Also overall this can only work based on revealed information.

The big three make up most of the usage in the meta here, with Venusaur being most dominant. Compared to the ladder usage stats, I found it interesting that Mew made it into the top 10 while Blissey's appearances dropped, both being mons that are commonly used as 2 on the same team. Personally I would have used Blissey as a Heracross counter, but I didn't end up getting the chance. I actually didn't really get to counter pick much in general because my opponents didn't have many or any replays, so I mostly went with classic Flower Veil for balance.

Here we can see the individual combos used, though this does exclude teams that double up on 2 mons as mentioned and counts both orders of a pair separately. Venusaur is paired up with many things, even more than Ting-Lu. I took the statistics with "leads" because it shows them in reverse order in the other option, but still counts each pair individually.

These are basically only the items that can visually proc or get revealed from Knocked Off, so Mirror Herb and Weakness Policy get most of the attention while Choice Band stays in obscurity never being explicitly revealed. I think Light Ball was only revealed once but it assumed every other Pikachu-Starter x2 team had it, so I guess getting exposed once means it counts for every appearance that team makes afterwards which is what happened to Covert Cloak. Waterium Z seems to be an instance of Z-Metronome calling Hydro Vortex and assuming it was the water Z-move that caused it instead of Normalium Z.

Like the items, I think this move list adds another instance of the move for every game that a team that uses it appears in since it counts the moves as part of a mon's moveset, so it doesn't really represent the total amount of moves used across each battle. So for example, the #1 Venusaur/Ting-Lu team had Venusaur roll Sweet Scent once and a few other teams did too, so 1 count of Sweet Scent gets added for every game with Venusaur/Ting-Lu. But it does show a full list of every move attempted in the tournament.

Overall, 86 unique teams were identified (just based off species), with 20 involving Mega Venusaur, though this does count different orders.

Note: These were both Ogerpon-Hearthflame x2 teams, but apparently it takes Ogerpon-Hearthflame-Tera as a separate form once the tera is revealed. So I guess really there are 85 teams.

Finally, there's also some insight into the choice of Tera types and usage. However, it's not in a very statistical format and just lists out all the occurrences of a tera per mon, per team:

Venusaur-Mega (Lead)(Stellar | Stellar | Stellar | Stellar | Stellar | Stellar | Stellar | Stellar | Stellar | Stellar | Stellar | Stellar | Stellar)

Ting-Lu (Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Poison | Poison | Poison | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Poison | Poison | Poison | Poison | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass | Grass)

Mew (Lead)(Psychic | Psychic | Psychic | Psychic | Psychic | Psychic | Psychic | Psychic | Psychic | Psychic | Psychic | Psychic | Ghost | Psychic | Psychic | Psychic | Psychic | Psychic)

Heracross-Mega (Lead)(Ghost | Bug | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Stellar | Bug | Bug | Bug | Bug | Stellar | Stellar | Stellar | Stellar | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Stellar | Ghost | Ghost | Ghost | Bug | Bug | Bug | Stellar | Ghost | Bug)

So just at a glance, most Venusaur are Stellar tera, Ting-Lu are usually Grass too, Heracross mostly goes Ghost, and most other stuff is based on specific combos like Flying Delta Stream.

Finally, I decided to summarize the finals matches between genisu and Fant'sy Beast just because it was the culmination of the whole thing.
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9metronomebattle-2096002762

- Venusaur-Mega (Flower Veil)/Ting-Lu (Tera Grass, Toxic Chain) vs Pokestar UFO (Magic Bounce)/Glastrier (Tera Flying, Delta Stream, Mirror Herb).​

- ended to Perish Song, but Glastrier had already died to an early Toxic Chain proc. genisu win.​

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9metronomebattle-2096004868

- Venusaur-Mega (Flower Veil)/Ting-Lu (Tera Grass, Toxic Chain) vs Ting-Lu (Tera Grass, Flower Veil)/Venusaur (Mirror Herb x2).​

- genisu got a Tail Glow that was copied twice, but Fant'sy Beast only gets to use one Infernal Parade to take advantage of it.​

- genisu's Ting-Lu also Psych Ups the Tail Glow for itself though it doesn't get any special moves either. genisu win.​

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9metronomebattle-2096006616

- Venusaur-Mega (Flower Veil)/Ting-Lu (Tera Grass, Toxic Chain, Mirror Herb) vs Ampharos-Mega (Tera Ghost, Lightning Rod)/Pecharunt (Galvanize, Mirror Herb)​

- The railgun set pays off well with Lightning Rod procs and strong special attacks in general. Fant'sy Beast win.​

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9metronomebattle-2096008516

- Venusaur-Mega (Flower Veil)/Ting-Lu (Tera Grass, Toxic Chain, Mirror Herb) vs Ampharos-Mega (Tera Ghost, Lightning Rod, Covert Cloak)/Pecharunt (Galvanize, Mirror Herb)​

- Overall a very intense final game with many strong attacks trading and field effects making an impact. genisu wins it all.​

- Lightning Rod takes Sing, Glare, and Teeter Dance.​

- Ampharos gets a Heal Bell right after Poison Gas.​

- Cosmic Power into Guard Swap on the same turn.​

- Covert Cloak is exposed via Poltergeist here which I don't think the scouter noticed.​

I see double Ogerpons and immediately know who the culprit is

Today was an eventful day, so much that even the forums almost didn't let me get this post in time, but it's close enough. April 8th marks the 6th anniversary of the Metronome Battles thread, as well as an eclipse crossing North America, and the last day of 3DS/Wii U online services, which was during the generation that this thread was made. How many more Pokemon games and generations will we be able to see the future of, on Smogon or Showdown? Only time may tell. But in the time we have here and now, we can at least see the usage stats for March as a record of what has already passed.

https://www.smogon.com/stats/2024-03/gen9metronomebattle-1630.txt
https://www.smogon.com/stats/2024-03/moveset/gen9metronomebattle-1630.txt

The battle count for March was 35995 battles, which is lower again but still surpassing the big dip of November and looking relatively stable.

March 2024: 1630-weighted top 10 + last month (February) positions:
#1: Mega Venusaur (no change)
#2: Ting-Lu (no change)
#3: Mega Heracross (#4)
#4: Mega Ampharos (#3)
#5: Pecharunt (no change)
#6: Guzzlord (#11)
#7: Blissey (#6)
#8: Necturna (#10)
#9: Mega Gengar (#7)
#10: Mega Abomasnow (#13)

Not much has changed for the top 5 other than Heracross recovering some of its ground after its low showing. However, Guzzlord has broken back through into #6 with a strong showing of 10% weighted usage with the Magic Guard/Life Orb set mentioned last time and mainly being 2x Guzzlord, while Mega Abomasnow has also lumbered back in the ranks, mainly running Good as Gold with Covert Cloak, barely above Weakness Policy and Choice Band, and partnering up with a variety of Poison partners like Mega Venusaur, Pecharunt, and Venomicon (prologue, the default form).

The main dark horse of the month would be the aforementioned Venomicon, coming in at #25 with 244 uses and primarily running Choice Specs with Delta Stream. As a reminder, Venomicon-Prologue lost 20 attack going from 70 to 50 in late 2022 after its 2021 introduction, but its spread is still pretty solid and on the slower side. Other lower usage/high rank mons include Type: Null doing honest work with 668 uses/#18, representing the trinity of Friend Guard bonkstall, Magic Guard to counter Toxic Chain, or just running Toxic Chain itself. Also Dusknoir is at #35 with 469 uses, which is arguably not that high but it beats out both Wishiwashi-School (underused but high BST) and Mega Alakazam (2000+ uses casual pick), seemingly being another Toxic Chain bot but also runs some Defiant.

Checking in the moveset file, I noticed Toxic Chain fell from 34% to 24%, while Unaware is up to 10% for Ting-Lu as the 3rd highest ability after Flower Veil in 1st. For comparison, last month the 3rd highest ability was Pickup at 4%, and even Aerilate has managed to pass that at 7%. Meanwhile Venusaur's usage has shown that Toxic Chain is getting back some ground on Flower Veil (25 and 40% vs. 20 and 46%), while Magic Bounce is still a decently used third option at 14%, and Mirror Herb gains 5 more percents to hit 52% while Weakness Policy falls from 34% to 17%, with other items like Normalium Z, Ability Shield, and Venusaurite gaining from the loss.

Something I wanted to highlight here was how the effects of the Aerilate discussion this month impacted its usagewith it showing up for Ting-Lu but also being #1 for Landorus-Therian (#20/1202 uses), Mega Pinsir (#33/705), and even the undiscussed Dragonite (#32/892) and Tyranitar (#50/167). It doesn't seem like the effects are visible on Heracross's ability choices. Compared to last month, Dragonite was at #20/1059 uses but favoured Magic Bounce, next to Tyranitar's #19/632 placement mainly using Defiant as mentioned in the last stats where they had high viability ceilings. On the other hand, Landorus-Therian was at #22/1415 uses and Mega Pinsir was at #71/271 uses, so I guess Pinsir got the most benefit out of the spotlight in this case.

Going over the viability ceilings (highest GXE of all the players using the Pokemon), we peak at 81 again but it's shared by a different duo of Mega Venusaur and Tyranitar (Aerilate/Delta Stream/Magic Bounce, Lum Berry/Choice Band/Covert Cloak, main Pokestar UFO/Mega Pinsir partners), showing Tyranitar is still a strong generalist that can pull off different type gimmicks, which is how I personally made use of Grass Tyranitar in the tournament to make a comeback in Round 1 and it never lost a match it appeared in. Following in 80 are Mega Heracross, Imposter Blissey, and Iron Hands, an almost-dark horse as the highest mon with sub-1000 (897) uses at #15 but I decided to highlight it here instead. Intrepid Sword and Toxic Chain seem like the abilities of favour, with no Galvanize to be seen now and put alongside the likes of Venusaur and Dusclops among other mons. Maybe Iron Hands is a better partner than I thought.

The next ceiling with mons is 78, featuring Pecharunt (Toxic Chain/Mirror Herb) and Mega Slowbro, divided between many options like Ice Scales/Delta Stream/Toxic Chain and Mirror Herb/Choice Specs/Weakness Policy. To round things off at 77, we have Mega Abomasnow, Dusclops (similar to Type: Null but with Magic Bounce ahead of Magic Guard and Toxic Chain), Ursaluna (Defiant/Toxic Chain/Magic Guard/Victory Star/Mind's Eye all with >10% usage on top of Choice Band/Mirror Herb/Bright Powder), and its partner Gouging Fire with mainly Purifying Salt and Mirror Herb with some Good as Gold and Choice Band usage. Incidentally both Ursaluna and Gouging Fire have higher usage partners than themselves (Bloodmoon and Garganacl), but these two come in second so they have to be the other mon that got them to 77 GXE, so hard to say which set is the key one with all these options. Thanks for your reading.

im bored, have a totally not mediocre team

team

Camerupt-Mega @ Life Orb
Ability: Analytic
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Metronome

Ting-Lu @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Power Spot
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Sassy Nature
- Metronome

explanation

this team is just centered around Mega Camerupt being slow as heck with attack and special attack, so it uses the ability Analytic (user's attacks have 1.3x power if the user moves last) with the lowest speed possible to ensure Camerupt always goes last, along with Life Orb (or Choice Specs, since it has higher special attack). Ting-Lu has really nice bulk and uses Power Spot to give Camerupt another 1.3x boost, and i usually use Weakness Policy with it for some extra offense but Ability Shield can work too. Camerupt can also use Stellar Tera for more damage but i havent tested that yet (i forgot Stellar existed lol)

basically just tera first turn on Camerupt so you (either) don't have to deal with a 4x water weakness (or have extra STAB with Stellar Tera) and wait for it to do huge damage on your opponents. pretty fun even if it doesn't work all that much

Life Orb is extremely risky, as it means that Camerupt is highly likely going to get KOed within 10 turns. Furthermore, there are more physical moves than special moves that Metronome can call. Even if you want to use a special attacker, Ampharos-Mega is better with more physical and special bulk, while only having less physical damage.

In addition, if Camerupt gets KOed, Ting-Lu's ability becomes useless.

thank you for the input, will try out mega ampharos instead! (along with changing ting-lu's ability, i've run into that issue a lot lol)
