I did this kind of thing once, in Silver; although instead of just tanking with a single Clefairy I made a full, regular team where everyone had Metronome and that was the primary move I used. I did use a GameShark to cheat a little bit, but only to let me buy enough PP Ups to max out Metronome for each of my Pokemon - every mon I used learned Metronome legitimately. I built my party up to be Machamp, Togetic, Politoed, Gengar, Golem and Hypno - 5 of whom learn the move by trading it to RBY and teaching it TM35, and then there's Togetic who learns it at level 7. My run actually went pretty good. It took a bit of grinding when my RNG wasn't so hot but I managed to beat the Elite Four & Champion with this party. I learned the same exact thing you did, too: _holy crap_ do Self-Destruct & Explosion come up a lot! Way more than any other move, it feels like. I wonder if they actually programmed it that way to keep people like us from overusing the move? Or is it maybe just unintentional cherry-picking because they're such huge-impact moves that you can't help but notice get used? I should go back to that run some day and wrap up Kanto - another thing I wanted to do was try to clear some of Stadium 2's Cups & Gym Leader Castle with this team...

Good news! In Gen 8, Metronome is a TR and can be taught to… a lot of Pokemon.
