Smeargle used Scary Face!
The attack of Smeargle missed!
Smeargle's Moody sharply raised its Evasion!
Smeargle's Moody lowered its Defense!
The foe's For's Moody sharply raised its Attack!
The foe's For's Moody lowered its Special Defense!
Turn 33
The foe's For used Metronome!
The attack of the foe's For missed!

Smeargle is paralyzed! It can't move!
The foe's For's Moody sharply raised its Speed!
The foe's For's Moody lowered its Evasion!
Smeargle's Moody sharply raised its Evasion!
Smeargle's Moody lowered its Special Defense!

How does Metronome miss? Only the move it uses can miss.
That wasn't really Metronome 'missing' so much as it was you using Metronome while using Dive.
Here's a recreation of this with a few examples:

Obviously that shouldn't be possible, but two-turn moves are kind of buggy right now (as well as the graphics). Basically what happened was Metronome called Dive, then you were considered underwater for the next turn and all moves besides Surf and Whirlpool would miss when used on you. So because Metronome targets the user it misses since it's not Surf or Whirlpool. It'll be fixed eventually to actually lock you into Dive if it gets called.
