Manectric 8/100 · Crystal Guardians

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

Manectric sits at 8/100 in Crystal Guardians, position 8 of 100. Before it is 7 Luvdisc, and after it is 9 Mawile. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on August 1, 2006. The printed size is 100, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Kick Away lists 30 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. Your opponent switches the Defending Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon, if any. Strong Current is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Lightning, Lightning, Colorless. If Manectric has a Pokémon Tool card attached to it, this attack does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon-ex. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Metal -30. Retreat cost is 1.

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. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Hisao Nakamura illustrated this one. 28 other cards of Manectric list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hisao Nakamura. I count 71 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Crystal Guardians set binder is where a full Crystal Guardians set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Manectric can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
