Manectric 25/108 · Roaring Skies

Manectric is Pokédex #310, generation 3 (Hoenn). Manectric is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Electrike. In this catalog that name is Electrike (#309).

Manectric sits at 25/108 in Roaring Skies, position 25 of 112. Before it is 24 Electrike, and after it is 26 Thundurus-EX. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on May 6, 2015. The printed size is 108. This checklist is longer, at 112 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Random Spark lists no damage number. The cost is Lightning. This attack does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Bite is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. 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."

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. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and match illustrated this one. 29 other cards of Manectric list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads match. I count 143 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Roaring Skies set binder is where a full Roaring Skies 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.
