Metronome (item)

Seperate from the move Metronome there is also a hold item named Metronome, it has the effect of boosting power of moves used repeatedly. Each time a move is used consecutively, its power is boosted by 10%, increasing up to a maximum of 100%. Switching or using another move returns the move's power to normal.

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.
