This card has no retreat cost at all, so it can leave the active spot without discarding any Energy — the only limit is that retreating happens once a turn.

The Energy this attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

How does Manectric 52 compare with every other card?

Each bar below is the whole archive cut by one printed figure, with the band this card falls into marked. A number on its own says nothing about whether it is high or low — the shape of the archive does.

What Manectric 52 does without attacking

Manectric 52 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

None

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

High Speed — Ability

When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you may draw 3 cards.

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Is Manectric 52 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 100 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.

What does being a Lightning card do for Manectric 52?

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.

Of the 901 cards in the archive that can remove Manectric 52 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 60 printed damage against a bar of 60. 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.

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

Manectric 52 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.

Manectric has been printed 41 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

What has to be in play before Manectric 52 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.

Back to summary

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

41 prints carry this name in the archive, and 31 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.

Manectric 52 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, Electric Ball, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 33 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs no Energy at all.
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. 4,897 of 17,290

Lightning cardsNo. 400 of 1,520

Stage 1 cardsNo. 1,051 of 5,102

Vivid VoltageNo. 69 of 166

What actually removes it

A Fighting attack printed at 60 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 120 HP.
909 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 2,202 cards in one attack.

Manectric 52 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Manectric 52?

Manectric 52 has 120 HP and a Fighting weakness at ×2, so a Fighting attack printed at 60 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 120.

What is the strongest attack on Manectric 52?

Electric Ball, printed at 100 damage for 3 Energy — 33 damage per Energy card.

What is the retreat cost of Manectric 52?

None. Manectric 52 carries a printed retreat cost of zero, so it can move out of the active spot without discarding any Energy. The once-a-turn limit on retreating still applies.

Can an older Manectric print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 31 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 52 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play, and it carries regulation mark D. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Manectric 52 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.
