Metronome: Steel ‘Mon Run
7.5 long years ago during Sun and Moon, Steel Pokemon were banned for wreaking havoc upon Metronome Battles. The extreme usage of tanky bulwarks such as Steelix and Melmetal were too much for the metagame to handle, resisting 10 other types and being immune to dastardly Poison status moves. However, since the introduction of Terastallization in Scarlet and Violet, both Tera Ghost and Ghost Pokemon have clearly become dominant kings over the format, being immune to Normal (the most common move type called by Metronome) and Fighting. With currently no other type to compete with Ghosts, that begs the question: Can the greatest typing of the past defeat the greatest typing of today?

Rules:
- All scheduling attempts MUST be done publicly on Smogon Walls. No other proof of communication will count for act calls regarding scheduling attempts.
- Best-of-5 winners of each round will proceed to the following week until a victor is decided.
- Changing teams in between matches is allowed.
- You are required to post all your replays.
- All Smogon Tournament Rules apply.
- Please use this guide while scheduling with your opponent.
- Since a Tera Stellar ban is not enforceable through challenge codes, any player that Terastallizes one of their Pokemon into Tera Stellar in a match will be assumed to forfeit that match to their opponent, no matter the outcome of that match. If both players Terastallize one of their Pokemon into Tera Stellar, that match must be replayed.
- If Aura Guard is implemented during the duration of this tournament, it will be banned.
