Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Swift	1 Lightning + 1 Colorless	2	20	10	This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, Poké-Powers, Poké-Bodies, or any other effects on the Defending Pokémon.
Tail Shock	1 Lightning + 2 Colorless	3	40	13	Does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Is Manectric 7 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 40 damage attack that needs 3 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 40 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

What does being a Lightning card do for Manectric 7?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

Deals double to this card 1,884 Fighting cards carry that type A Fighting attack printed at 40 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

What knocks out Manectric 7 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Fighting attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 40 printed damage rather than 80.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 1,208 cards in the archive that can remove Manectric 7 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 40 printed damage against a bar of 40. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

Manectricweak to Fighting ×2

Manectricresists Metal -30

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Metal resistance changes

Damage from Metal attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.

What is Manectric as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Manectric 7 is one print of Manectric. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

What has to be in play before Manectric 7 can be?

Manectric evolves from Electrike, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Electrike.
The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.
Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 310.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (120 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Is this the strongest Manectric print, and can the older ones still be played?

41 prints carry this name in the archive, and 32 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (330 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Which rules apply to Manectric 7, and where can it be played?

Two kinds of rule meet on one card — the sentence printed on the card face, and the rulebook clauses that apply because of what the card carries.

Rulebook clauses that apply to Manectric 7
Clause	What the rulebook says	Cards it applies to	Share of the archive

Manectric 7 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Tail Shock, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 13 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Electrike has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 9,046 of 17,290

Lightning cardsNo. 742 of 1,520

Stage 1 cardsNo. 3,399 of 5,102

EmeraldNo. 19 of 86

What actually removes it

A Fighting attack printed at 40 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 80 HP.
1,221 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,154 cards in one attack.
Damage from Metal attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Manectric 7 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Manectric 7?

Manectric 7 has 80 HP and a Fighting weakness at ×2, so a Fighting attack printed at 40 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 80.

What is the strongest attack on Manectric 7?

Tail Shock, printed at 40 damage for 3 Energy — 13 damage per Energy card. Does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

What is the retreat cost of Manectric 7?

1 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

Can an older Manectric print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 32 prints listed on this page, 6 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Manectric evolve from?

Electrike. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Manectric 7 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Manectric 7 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
