Manectric 40/100 · Majestic Dawn

Majestic Dawn is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on May 1, 2008. The printed size is 100, and the checklist is the same length. Manectric is 40/100, in position 40 of 100 on this checklist. Before it is 39 Lickitung, and after it is 41 Monferno. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Manectric is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 34. In the Pokédex this is Manectric (#310), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Electrike. In this catalog that name is Electrike (#309).

Daisuke Ito illustrated this card. The same name is on 47 other cards in the catalog.

Manectric (#310) has 34 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 22 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Manectric 9/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Daisuke Ito illustrated this one. 28 other cards of Manectric list a different HP.

The attack Thunder Wave lists 30 damage. The cost is Lightning. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Volt Crush is another attack lists 40+ damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy attached to Manectric and this attack does 40 damage plus 30 more damage. Weakness is Fighting +20. Resistance is Metal -20. The flavor text reads "It discharges electricity from its mane. It creates a thundercloud overhead to drop lightning bolts."

I keep a set binder for Majestic Dawn, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Majestic Dawn set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Manectric can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
