Yep, he can run out. Mine told me all he had ages ago.
Oh alright. If you see him everyday, approximately how long does it take to get all of them?
If "X" Pokemon is holding the item Metronome and is using Fury Swipes, does the attack do more damage after each swipe?
Meaning, if Fury Swipes attacked 5 times, would it keep getting stronger throughout that one turn?

Nope. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. I tried it months ago with a Skill Link Cloyster.
Speaking of Skill Link Cloyster, here is what it says for Cloyster:
I am guessing that it does work with Clamp and/or Whirlpool, but why would they also list Spike Cannon? Is it not the same move type as Fury Swipes?
Other way around. Turns out Skill Link works for Icicle Spear and Spike Cannon, but not with Clamp and Whirlpool. I did my Metronome test with Spike Cannon.
How much added damage does metronome do?
Also, does it apply to moves like Ice Ball and Rollout?
Use 1: No boost.
Use 2: 10% boost.
Use 3: 20% boost.
Use 4: 30% boost.
Use 5: 40% boost.
....
Use 19: 200% boost.
If memory serves, 200% is the limit.
And no, it unfortunately doesn't boost with every hit of Ice Ball and Rollout. It only boosts each time a move is selected in succession. I actually just did a test with Metronome and Rollout a couple of days ago because somebody else asked this same question. Check out the research thread if you're interested in the data I got.
Is a priority set for lucario good?

It would work but if you think about it Quiet is much better. Since you're boosting Atk with SD anyways and FSash guarantees at least one SD. Come to think of it I'm thinking it wouldn't be too bad as a lead(sadly Gyara will pose problems).
There's already a priority Swords Dance set that is far greater than that. For one, even after losing just 3% from Stealth Rock, you lose the Focus Sash effect. Also, when Lucario holds Life Orb, it OHKOs alot of the metagames threats. Additionally, you want to use Close Combat over Vaccuum Wave - there is no way you should use VW on a physical set. Use an adamant nature. Give it max speed aswell as attack.
Yes, it's standard already.
No, you made it a standard. He wasn't talking about that set.
Does the Incense items have to be on a female? Say I wanted to breed a Wynaut, but I wanted to use an Everstone to pass down a nature. Is it possible to do this by giving the Lax Incense to a male, and the Everstone to a female? Would using a Ditto holding an Everstone (breeding with a female Wobbuffet holding a Lax Incense) be a better idea instead?
I think having a ditto w/ a stone and a female with the incense would work.
I was thinking about that as well for SBP5, with mantine.
Looks like that's the only way to do it.
