Metal Burst Competitive Analysis

Metal Burst is a good counter move as it returns the damage received by 1.5x more. This is ideal on bulky Pokemon that can take hits such as Zamazenta and Solgaleo.

Note that Metal Burst does not have decreased priority. If your Pokemon is faster than the target and this move goes first, it will fail. Additionally, Metal Burst does not benefit from STAB.

Metal Burst Locations

Metal Burst can only be learned via Egg Move, Level Up, or by Default.
