Metronome surprises

When I woz battling my friend I got my Lugia 2 use Fly so that it wood b safe 4 a turn. On that same turn my friend's Togetic used Metronome, and it turned into selfdestruct. Weird. It woz pretty funny 2 c the look on my friend's face coz the Togetic knocked itself out without even touchin my Lugia.
 
Im not too surprised at what attack is used when I use metronome because it is random and all. I don't like it when it is a heavy hitting attack; that's always good. I've gotten quite a few good moves from using it: Volt Tackle, Frenzy Plant, and Hydro Cannon just to name a few.
 
Metronome is such an obnoxiously lovely move; I have a love/hate relationship with it. It seems that everytime I use it during a critical stage of an important battle where I need a high-damage attack, I'll get some pansy move like String Shot or Tackle. But in a casual, unimportant battle against a random Youngster, I'll end up getting Blast Burn, or Thunderbolt.

It's a conspiracy, I just know it.
 
My Machamp used Submission. The thing is, it already knew the attack.
 
On emerald... well, let's put it this way:

Clefable used Metronome
Clefable used Volt Tackle
Foe Kyogre fainted

*Resets*

Clefable used Metronome
Clefable used Explosion
Foe Kyogre fainted

*Resets*

Clefable used Metronome
Clefable used Assist
*Assist becomes Frenzy Plant*
Foe Kyogre fainted.

O_O;

Needless to say, I finally just sent out my Scyther and Parasect to False Swipe\Spore it into submission. It was fun, though. Maybe I should just use Metronome in a few of my Multi-battle matches in the Battle Tower.
 
I have to say that is quite funny. I would've waited to see if I could pull off another OHKO.

My Machamp used leer twice, then growl twice and then uses snore. ^_^''
 
My clefable used metronome and managed to get transform.
It's not against the rules anymore but I do feel compelled to ask: how did you manage to dig up this thread from 2006? :p

To see if it had happened to anyone else, and this was the first link in the list. And what do you mean by against the rules? What rules?

Also, the pictures were actually taken about 3 minutes before I posted. I just got the game a week ago from a friend.
 
Teleport/Splash/Milk Drink/Substitute. But it was not so funny except teleport, because it wasn't serious battle.
