Manectric ex is a Stage 1 ex Lightning Pokémon with 100 HP. 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).

Hikaru Koike illustrated this card. The same name is on 46 other cards in the catalog.

Manectric (#310) has 34 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 23 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 is named Manectric, while this one is Manectric ex. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Hikaru Koike illustrated this one. 33 other cards of Manectric list a different HP.

The attack Disconnect lists 40 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. Your opponent can't play any Trainer cards (except for Supporter cards) from his or her hand during your opponent's next turn. Mega Shot is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Lightning, Lightning, Colorless. Discard all Lightning Energy attached to Manectric ex and then choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 80 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Metal -30. Retreat cost is 1. The card text says: When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

I keep a set binder for Deoxys, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Deoxys 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.
