Platinum

Manectric 11/127 · Platinum

Platinum is a set in the Platinum series. It was released on February 11, 2009. The printed size is 127. This checklist is longer, at 133 cards. Manectric is 11/127, in position 11 of 133 on this checklist. Before it is 10 Giratina, and after it is 12 Palkia G. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Manectric is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 45. 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).

Kouki Saitou illustrated this card. The same name is on 652 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 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 29 other cards of Manectric list a different HP.

Electric Barrier is listed as Poké-Body. Prevent all damage done to your Benched Pokémon (excluding any Manectric) by attacks. The attack Power Wave lists no damage number. The cost is Lightning. This attack does 30 damage to each Pokémon that has any Poké-Powers (both yours and your opponent's). (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Attract Current is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Search your deck for a Lightning Energy card and attach it to 1 of your Pokémon. Shuffle your deck afterward. Weakness is Fighting +20. Resistance is Metal -20.

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