Manectric 28/123 · Mysterious Treasures

Manectric is Pokédex #310, generation 3 (Hoenn). Manectric is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 38. The card says it evolves from Electrike. In this catalog that name is Electrike (#309).

Manectric sits at 28/123 in Mysterious Treasures, position 28 of 124. Before it is 27 Kricketune, and after it is 29 Mantine. The set belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on 1 August 2007. The printed size is 123. This checklist is longer, at 124 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Lightning Twister lists 20× damage. The cost is Colorless. Does 20 damage times the number of basic Energy cards attached to Manectric. Chain Lightning is another attack lists 70 damage. The cost is Lightning, Lightning, Lightning. Does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that is the same type as the Defending Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting +20. Resistance is Metal -20. 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 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. 28 other cards of Manectric list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Atsuko Nishida. I count 408 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Mysterious Treasures set binder is where a full Mysterious Treasures 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.
