Primal Clash is a set in the XY series. It was released on February 4, 2015. The printed size is 160. This checklist is longer, at 164 cards. Manectric is 61/160, in position 61 of 164 on this checklist. Before it is 60 Electrike, and after it is 62 Tynamo. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Manectric is a Stage 1 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).

Naoki Saito illustrated this card. The same name is on 270 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 100 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Naoki Saito illustrated this one. 33 other cards of Manectric list a different HP.

The attack Lightning Turn lists 30 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. Switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. Electric Shock is another attack lists 70 damage. The cost is Lightning, Lightning, Colorless. Discard all Lightning Energy attached to this Pokémon. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Metal -20. Retreat cost is 1. 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 Primal Clash, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Primal Clash 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.
