Trivia
- In music, a Metronome is a device that is used to help musicians keep at a steady pace. The instrument has an "arm" that moves in a back and forth motion which was the inspiration for how the Pokémon move requires it to move its fingers in the said motion.
- It is unknown if the moves that can be used include moves that come from Mystery Gift events, like V-Create and Ice Burn.
- In Pokémon Sword and Shield, if Fairy Lock is selected by Metronome, the game can crash.
