*Metronome chooses Self Destruct and my Pokemon dies.*

I don't know what I expected but it wasn't that.

Is there actually a difference between Self-Destruct and Explosion aside from one having 200 base power and the other having 250?

Nope, none at all. Explosion is objectively better, and the only reason to use Self-Destruct is if the Pokemon can't also learn Explosion, which only applies to specifically Muchlax/Snorlax and Mewtwo.

EDIT: To clarify, there are some situations where a Pokemon can learn Self-Destruct but not Explosion within a generation, like Sudowoodo having Self-Destruct as an egg move in G/S/C but not being able to learn Explosion until the gen 3 move tutors. But Muchlax/Snorlax and Mewtwo are the only Pokemon who have never been able to learn Explosion but have been able to learn Self-Destruct.

More Pokemon can learn Self-Destruct via TMs in certain Gens.

No it's when you use metronome and then transform into your opponent and then you self destruct on purpose

Metronome can't pick Transform.
