Manectric

Description

Designed by Masakazu Fukuda, this Lightning-type Stage 1 Pokémon evolves from Electrike and serves as a key component for builders of the EM set. Manectric brings 80 HP to the table, balancing offensive capabilities with a manageable retreat cost of one colorless energy. For players and collectors alike, Manectric #7 stands out due to its unique attack mechanics. The Swift attack deals 20 damage with a notable advantage: its damage output remains unaffected by Weakness, Resistance, Poké-Powers, or Poké-Bodies on the Defending Pokémon. This makes it a reliable option for consistent damage application. Additionally, the Tail Shock attack deals 40 damage plus 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. Crucially, this spread damage ignores Weakness and Resistance for those benched targets, providing strategic flexibility that appeals to both competitive strategists and nostalgic collectors. As a Holo Rare, Manectric #7 features a shimmering finish that distinguishes it within the Emerald expansion. Collectors often seek out this card number to complete their base set collections or to acquire high-quality examples of this popular Electric-type Pokémon. The card's design and gameplay mechanics reflect the strategic depth of the 2005 era, making it a valuable addition to any Pokémon TCG collection. Whether you are looking to complete your Emerald set or add a unique Lightning-type to your roster, Manectric #7 offers both aesthetic appeal and mechanical interest.
