What is the possibility of Metronome being Spacial Rend?

Question

I was playing soulsilver the other day, and my togepi used metronome which ended up being spacial rend! So what is the possibility of that happening?

Answer 1

Well there are 467 moves in the soul silver and there are 24 moves that metronome cant use so since metronome randomly uses a move, it is 1/(467-24) = 1/443 which is about a .23% chance.
Legendary signature moves do not make a difference when considering metronome nor is any other really powerful move. A move like spacial rend has the same chance of appearing as a move like splash.
