Price History
Description
Released in 2004 as part of the Pokémon Team Magma vs Team Aqua expansion, Team Aqua's Manectric (MA-4) is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon that evolved from Team Aqua's Electrike. Designed by artist K. Utsunomiya, this Holo Rare card carries 70 HP and serves as a key component for players building Team Aqua-themed decks. The card's design reflects the strategic identity of its trainer faction, offering mechanics that reward coordinated energy management during gameplay. The card features the Power Shift ability, which allows players to move any number of basic Energy cards attached to one Pokémon bearing the Team Aqua name to another Pokémon with the same name. This flexibility supports dynamic board control, enabling players to concentrate resources on a single attacker or protect vulnerable units. The Thunderspark attack costs two Lightning and two Colorless energy and deals 50 damage, while also inflicting 10 damage to each Benched Pokémon that has Energy cards attached, affecting both sides of the field. As a catalog-level item, Team Aqua's Manectric represents a foundational piece for enthusiasts completing the Team Magma vs Team Aqua set or seeking specific cards for competitive play. Its enduring presence in the Pokémon Trading Card Game community underscores its role in shaping early strategic gameplay and collection culture. The card remains a sought-after item for those interested in the history of Pokémon TCG design and faction-based mechanics.
