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.
