Manectric 52/168 · Celestial Storm

Manectric is Pokédex #310, generation 3 (Hoenn). Manectric is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 110 HP. The card says it evolves from Electrike. In this catalog that name is Electrike (#309).

Manectric sits at 52/168 in Celestial Storm, position 53 of 187. Before it is 51 Electrike, and after it is 53 Plusle. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on 3 August 2018. The printed size is 168. This checklist is longer, at 187 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Electric Start is listed as Ability. If you go second, and if this Pokémon is in your hand when you are setting up to play, you may put it face down as your Active Pokémon or on your Bench. The attack Double Charge lists 40 damage. The cost is Lightning. You may attach up to 2 basic Energy cards from your hand to 1 of your Benched Pokémon. Weakness is Fighting ×2. 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 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Sanosuke Sakuma illustrated this one. 32 other cards of Manectric list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Sanosuke Sakuma. I count 158 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Celestial Storm set binder is where a full Celestial Storm 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.
