Last Updated: Regulation M-2
Page Status: This Manectric build guide will be updated when new Pokemon Champions regulations, items, buffs or nerfs change its best set.
Manectric has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The Mega Intimidate attacker is the strongest option, while the Focus Sash attacker is better when another Pokemon needs the Mega slot.
This is the main Manectric build. It uses Mega Evolution to gain Intimidate while applying fast Electric-type pressure.
| Item | Manectite |
|---|---|
| Ability | Intimidate after Mega Evolution |
| Nature | Timid, +Speed and -Attack |
| Moves | Thunderbolt, Volt Switch, Flamethrower, Protect |
| Stat Point Spread | Sp. Atk: 32 / Sp. Def: 4 / Speed: 28 |
This version keeps Manectric useful without Mega Evolution. It uses Focus Sash to survive one hit and keep speed pressure active.
| Item | Focus Sash or Magnet |
|---|---|
| Ability | Lightning Rod |
| Nature | Timid, +Speed and -Attack |
| Moves | Thunderbolt, Volt Switch, Snarl, Protect |
| Stat Point Spread | Sp. Atk: 30 / Sp. Def: 4 / Speed: 30 |
Manectric stats are shown below for easy comparison.
Manectite is the best item for the main build because Mega Manectric gains Intimidate and stronger offensive stats.
Focus Sash is the safest item for non-Mega Manectric because it is fast but not very bulky.
Manectric works best with Pokemon that cover its weaknesses, support its preferred speed control or help it find safer turns.
Manectric is strong against Water and Flying-type Pokemon. Mega Manectric also gives fast Intimidate support into physical attackers.
Volt Switch lets Manectric create momentum while keeping offensive pressure on the board.
Manectric is threatened by Ground-type Pokemon and bulky special walls. It is also fragile before Mega Evolution or without Focus Sash.
Manectric can learn Electric, Fire, Dark, Normal and support moves across different Pokemon games. Use the section below to view the full move list by learn method.
