With all the new pokemon who can learn metronome, will you do another metronome draft league? Those have been my favorite content!

It's best to wait until the HOME update for that. There's several unavailable Pokémon who can now use Metronome, amongst them being Tornadus.

YESS more metronome content!! that ending was PERFECT. The last time you guys caught a team to metronome battle it also ended in an explosion leaving john's pokemon standing, so thats hilarious LMAO

[@Vic_lee-pc3bt]

4:52 Anyone else notice that Mikey was staring at drowzee?

[@lampekartoffel]

Looking at Tulip, kinda makes me want to use one for the first time ever😂 I've always just felt like they were too much of a "pretty fairy type" to my tastes and I've never really needed one for balance

[@CynderBlaze]

As someone who’s used Florges in the past, I can definitely attest to it being good! Its special attack and special defense are really solid!

[@gengarzilla1685]

At 552, Florges has the second highest base stat total of any non-legendary that isn't a pseudo-legend, Mega Evolution, Slaking, or Archeops, being only three points behind Arcanine. This Pokémon is by no means just about looking pretty; it could definitely pay off well for an in-game team if you don't mind the very limited movepool.

[@fin5887]

[@SonicLink1622]

Love that Mikey called that Dragonite would KO itself too, and then it did to end the battle

[@genv.b521]

The best part of the battle is Mikey keeps on wanting to have Heat Wave, Tulip unexpectedly being strong, and pew pew disappointing PM7 a lot but managing to get him the win (also a deja vu of sorts from their last Metronome Battle which a Pokémon from PM7 managing to survive an Explosion)

[@SophieAshtonRosewell]

The Blue Flower Florges using Judgement is even funnier when you read its Scarlet(which is the game Mike is playing) entry: "Though usually compassionate, Florges will hunt down anyone who vandalizes its flower garden, showing no mercy even if they beg for their lives."

Does finding one BEFORE the video starts count as being in the first few minutes?

[@eyebrawlnlc1116]

​@montyeggman3075 Mikey found a shiny before one of the other videos, so I count it.

[@michaelnelson1127]

19:49 This may sound unbelievable, but a few months ago (inspired by this video), my friend and I did a metronome battle, and while we were down to our last pokemon, my Dragonite actually managed to land a sheer cold to win the battle! Maybe it was karmic justice for my Grimmsnarl using perish song and getting no attacking moves before it died, but regardless, my friend was a Garganacl for quite a while after.

Love Metronome Battles. It always reminds me of my own quest to train a Togepi. The first move it used via Metronome was Roar of Time. In a battle against a Budew while I was EV training the Togepi/Togetic it used Magnet Rise (The novelty of a Flying type using Magnet Rise was weird) then it used Judgment (A move I didn't know existed).

[@Foabi95]
