It's hard to tell because the first kick is so weak (even with multipliers) and because it would take a little while for the multipliers to really make a difference:Īttack One (ignoring Technician, weakness/resistance, and STAB) Does anyone else have any insight?Ĭlick to expand.Maybe some testing would be required here? I have a Level 60 Hitmontop with Technician and Triple Kick, so I'll go against beefy opponents and see if the damage steadily increases or not. I'm pretty sure that the game registers Triple Kick as three seperate attacks and Spike Cannon as multiple hits of the same attack, but I'm not sure on this. The other reason I bring this up is because Cloyster's ability Skill Link could allow a move like Icicle Spear or Spike Cannon to hit that double-damage cap on the Metronome very quickly, allowing Cloyster to deal very good damage while walling physical attacks. That could potentially be very powerful, between Hitmontop's STAB and the ability Technician. However, I put a Metronome on a Hitmontop with Triple Kick and started testing it out, and it seems like each successive kick is doing way more damage than it should - while the first, second, and third kicks should each deal 10, 20, and 30 base power respectively, the damage between each kick is more than doubling, which makes me think the Metronome is definitely coming into play here.

I looked it up in the Smogon database and it said that it only increases damage each time the move is executed, not whenever the move hits (ie moves like Outrage will only increase in power when selected again, not when the move requires three turns to use).
