Strategy & play
How Manectric plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Flash Impact) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 150 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Lightning Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Lightning type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥55 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.
How to beat Manectric
- Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥55 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Manectric is real?
Manectric is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set.

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