Mega Manectric EX crashes onto the battlefield with impressive offensive capabilities and surprising defensive tricks.
Packing a massive 330 HP and the potential to deal over 300 damage in a single strike, this Lightning powerhouse demands attention in any competitive environment where Basic Pokémon dominate the meta.
Offensive rating: 9/10Mega Manectric ex delivers an electrifying offensive punch with two potent attacks.
Flash Ray deals 120 damage for just two Lightning energy, offering excellent damage-to-energy efficiency.
But the real showstopper is Riotous Blasting, which can unleash a devastating 330 damage when you sacrifice all attached energy.
This attack alone can OHKO nearly any Pokémon in the format, including most VMAXs and even some Pokémon ex.
The flexibility to choose between conserving energy with Flash Ray or going all-out with Riotous Blasting gives this card tremendous offensive versatility.
While requiring three energy for maximum damage is somewhat costly, the raw damage output more than justifies the investment.
Survival rating: 9/10With a tremendous 330 HP, Mega Manectric ex stands among the tankiest Pokémon available.
This massive health pool allows it to survive multiple hits from even the heaviest hitters in the format.
Flash Ray adds an exceptional defensive layer, completely nullifying damage from Basic Pokémon for a turn - a massive advantage in formats where Basic Pokémon dominate.
The only significant vulnerability is its Fighting weakness, which can lead to quick knockouts against popular Fighting types.
Also concerning is the Mega Evolution ex rule, which gives opponents three prize cards when Mega Manectric falls.
These downsides prevent a perfect score, but make no mistake - this is one of the most durable attackers available.
Versatility rating: 8/10Mega Manectric ex demonstrates remarkable versatility despite its specialized role.
As a Stage 1 Mega Evolution, it requires proper setup, limiting its tech potential.
However, it excels in multiple functions once established.
It can serve as a primary attacker, tank hits with its massive HP, and even stall opponents with Flash Ray.
The Lightning typing provides favorable matchups against Water decks and other popular types.
Its ability to protect itself from Basic Pokémon attacks creates excellent matchups against decks reliant on powerful Basic attackers.
However, Fighting weakness and the three-prize liability do constrain its versatility somewhat in certain meta environments.
Speed/Setup rating: 7/10As a Stage 1 Mega Evolution, Mega Manectric ex requires more setup than Basic Pokémon.
You need to evolve from Electrike, which necessitates having both cards in hand or finding ways to search for them.
Additionally, powering up Riotous Blasting requires three energy attachments, typically taking multiple turns unless energy acceleration support is available.
The payoff is substantial, but the setup requirement is undeniable.
Flash Ray helps bridge this setup gap, providing a respectable 120 damage option while you gather resources for the bigger attack.
The fact that you need to discard all energy for maximum damage with Riotous Blasting also means rebuilding your energy board state afterward.
Mega Manectric ex thrives alongside energy acceleration cards to power up Riotous Blasting faster.
Cards that can search for Electrike and Spirit Link tools are crucial for rapid evolution.
Protection from its Fighting weakness and recovery options after using Riotous Blasting also significantly enhance its effectiveness.
Raikou variants with energy acceleration abilities help power up Mega Manectric ex quickly, reducing the setup time for Riotous Blasting and allowing for repeated powerful attacks even after discarding energy.
This tool card allows evolution to Mega Manectric ex without ending your turn, significantly improving setup speed and allowing for immediate use of its powerful attacks on the same turn it evolves.
This stadium heals 30 damage from each of your Water and Lightning Pokémon between turns, enhancing Mega Manectric ex's already impressive survivability and allowing it to potentially stay active for multiple turns.
Mega Manectric ex stands as a formidable force in formats where it can shine.
Its massive 330 HP and ability to completely nullify damage from Basic Pokémon make it exceptionally durable, while its potential to deal 330 damage in a single attack gives it tremendous knockout power.
The card does require proper setup as a Stage 1 Mega Evolution and careful energy management when using Riotous Blasting.
To maximize its potential, pair it with energy acceleration, protection from Fighting types, and recovery options.
The three-prize liability means every Mega Manectric ex knockout must count, but when played strategically, few Pokémon can match its combination of tankiness and raw offensive power.
In formats dominated by Basic Pokémon attackers especially, Mega Manectric ex can control the pace of the game and sweep through unprepared opponents.
