Strategy & play
How Manectric plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Swift) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Needs Lightning Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Lightning type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥45 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Electrike; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
- Seen in 0% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 1 copy.
How to beat Manectric
- Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

How can I tell if my Manectric is real?

For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
