    Ok, metronome is one of those fun tiers that fiddles with one of the funnest moves of all time.

    Although you think its all about luck, you actually need good EVs and some of the sharpest prediction skills.

    Here is my take on metroneome: It won 5 tours.


    Leadchamp even in this tier.

    Machamp (F) @ Leppa Berry
    Trait: No Guard
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Metronome

    Ok, you got your average lead champ to start things off. I would use Psyshock on other lead machamps or if you thing they are going to switch to mew, use X scissor. Mewtwo may be a problem to machamp so thats why dusknoir is in this team. Machamp can do some serious damage with v-create on celebi and maybe even splash.

    the best event legendary until celebi.

    Mew @ Leppa Berry
    Trait: Synchronize
    EVs: 252 HP / 68 Atk / 188 SAtk
    Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
    - Metronome

    Ok, you can take a bug bite from mewtwo and jirachi like a boss while haveng enough attack to kill blissey with a shell smash and cross chop. Imprison is cool for just making the opposing team rage.


    The annoying one..
    [​IMG]

    Clefable (M) @ Leppa Berry
    Trait: Magic Guard
    EVs: 252 HP / 44 Def / 212 SAtk
    Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
    - Metronome

    gotta use orange for this one. Clefable takes in snorlax's toxic spikes and isnt hurt by other clafables status. Mew's spikes dont harm it...or rocks. It has some special attack for harming celebi with silver wind. Hyper beam stab is cool. IDK why you would use lunar dance..but ok.


    The old one.
    [​IMG]

    Jirachi @ Leppa Berry
    Trait: Serene Grace
    EVs: 252 HP / 28 Atk / 252 SAtk
    Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
    - Metronome

    Ok, being that it only wakes up every 1k years, it woke up for my metronome team. This is a bulky haxrachi. Steel wing for the stab defence raise and basically set up toxic spikes. If you get put to sleep by chansey then dont worry, he wont kill you. Minun has a habit of using overheat, so watch out.


    The great wall of America
    [​IMG]

    Dusknoir (M) @ Leppa Berry
    Trait: Pressure
    EVs: 252 HP / 56 Atk / 96 Def / 104 SDef
    Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
    - Metronome

    Ok, its not a wall, its a quiver dance sweeper. Set up sandstorm after a quiver dance then use doubleslap. Its sure to kill off a substitute. Ice punch is cool on celebi. Every once in a while, you will get dragon dance/taunt. These 2 moves are crutial to survival.


    Meh2...
    [​IMG]

    Mewtwo @ Leppa Berry
    Trait: Pressure
    EVs: 140 HP / 152 Atk / 216 SAtk
    Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef)
    - Metronome

    Ok, if you couldnt tell from the pic, Mewtwo perfectly counters mew. Swords dance/bite is a good combo to abuse on it. I put some hp in it to survive +2 bug buzz from special machamp. Rapid spin is good for knocking off hazzards and Explosion is for the end.

    You're missing an importable. I may steal this team and test it out. It's very original.

    I think you're a little Mewtwo weak. The fact that Jirachi can Punishment Mewtwo for the OHKO after it has a few boosts is worht a mention. I still think it should run more defence to take Mewtwo's strong Wake-up Slaps and Outrages.

    While there is no technical "counter" to Togekiss in todays metagame, it is always important to run as many checks as possible. You seem to have done that well, with Jirachi, Dusknoir, and Clefable all sufficiently holding it off. Just be careful because Twindeedle has about a 105% chance of poisoning you. Be sure to switch to Jirachi or Clefable if you think it's gonna do that.

    Other than that, great team! I don't think I can face it.

    Loving the sets, although I believe Dusknoir functions better as a weaker, yet highly effective user of the ol' RestSnore combo, and maybe if Sleep Talk was added in as well as Baton Pass...just something to think about.

    Team looks as good as a Metronome team can be. Well done :3

    LOL. Wow I'm still laughing at the idea. Ok (Srs mode) Nice ev spreads :o. I personally prefer just making them bulky as possible for survival, but I guess i might try so attack ev's too. Great Mewtwo spread.
    Errr just tell your Machamp to watch out for OHKO moves :x. btw... THIS IS MY TEAM T_T. Anywho. Rated 5/5 (otherwise mewtwo wuld hit me ;L )

    Poliwrath is an underrated threat to your team, if you ask me. Even Dusknoir falls to a +1 Shadow Force if it crits due to Focus Energy.

    I know this is a metro team,but would you care explaining the EV spreads?.Also machamp doesn't need 4 evs in speed shift it to something.Also I recommend running atk/spatk -speed nature on every Pokemon as defenses are valuable.You don't need the extra speed,it's shit
