Question

What moves can't be accessed via Metronome as of Gen 7?

Answer 1

All moves that can't be accessed from Metronome as of Gen 7 are...

After You, Assist, Bestow, Chatter, Copycat, Counter, Covet, Destiny Bond, Detect, Endure, Feint, Focus Punch, Follow Me, Freeze Shock, Helping Hand, Ice Burn, Me First, Mimic, Mirror Coat, Mirror Move, Nature Power, Protect, Plasma Fists, Quash, Quick Guard, Rage Powder, Relic Song, Secret Sword, Sketch, Sleep Talk, Snarl, Snatch, Snore, Struggle, Switcheroo, Techno Blast, Thief, Transform, Trick, V-Create, and Wide Guard. Also, Metronome can't be selected by itself neither Z-Moves. Though Z-Metronome uses the actual Z-Move.

NOTE: Bulbapedia's list was incomplete, so I added a few moves that I remembered couldn't get selected by Metronome.

You should note z-metronome uses the z-move.

Fine.

I'm actually doing a Metronome-only run at the moment, and I wanted some closure on this. The info I've found is a little hazy in terms of whether moves are inaccessible in the current gen or previous gens. I've noticed that Dark Void, while it can be selected, will routinely display the message "but the Pokémon cannot use this move!" GF logic, axe Freeze Burn and Ice Shock but turn Dark Void into Splash.

I’ve gotten thief from metronome and covet.

@Lonely_Creature_778 Are you sure you aren't playing an unofficial game?
@bulbasaur_ggd IKR. Also, Hyperspace Fury says the same thing when used by a pokemon. Though I'm pretty sure that all the moves I mentioned can't be selected by Metronome.

I’m playing ultra sun

Well, I'll check my facts again...

We used the same source, what a coincedence. Also, you forgot Plasma Fists on the answer.

---

Oh, okay! Thanks for pointing that out!

---

You also forgot Metronome can’t be chosen, which is a move.

---

I suppose I should probably add that, too. Thank you, also.

---

You should note that z-metronome uses the z-move

---

Yeah, but metronome can't use it.
