Manectric is an electric-maned dog-like Pokémon that was introduced in the third generation games. It is the evolved form of Electrike.

Information

Electrike evolves into Manectric at Level 26. It has a pointed mane through which it constantly discharges electricity. The mane collects electricity in the atmosphere and also creates thunderclouds above its head. Lightning usually falls in their vicinities, so it is believed that Manectric was actually born from lightning. They usually nest where lightning has fallen and rarely appear before people. Manectric's sparks sometimes start forest fires.

Appearances

Mainstream Games

In Pokémon: Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Versions, Manectric was uncommonly found at Route 118. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, it could appear at the Safari Zone's Plains, Rocky Beach and Wasteland areas if enough Plains or Forest objects were present.

Other Appearances

Other Media

• In the Pokémon anime, Wattson's Electrike evolved into Manectric in an episode of the Hoenn series following a battle with Team Rocket. Wattson tested it out in a training battle with Ash, which the Manectric was able to win. A Sinnoh episode also had a Manectric which evolved from an Electrike to escape from Team Rocket. The Manectric had been training under Jaco and was able to graduate from the Training Center as a Manectric, at which point it was able to work at an electrical generator.
• In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Wattson's Electrike evolved into a Manectric at some point in the Diamond/Pearl arc following the events at New Mauville, and he was able to use it for transportation. Wattson used it for the duration of the arc, and it later knocked itself out in battle with Amber's Ninjask.

Trivia

• Its name is a combination of "mane" (due to its pointed mane) and "electric".
