Manectric has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Attack is its highest stat (215), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 5 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Manectric deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Manectric in Pokemon GO?
Manectric's best moveset is Snarl (fast) with Overheat (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Manectric's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Manectric takes super effective damage from Ground-type moves. It resists Electric, Flying, Steel, so avoid those types against it.
What is Manectric's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Manectric reaches 2,646 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 2,340 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.
What CP is a 100% IV Manectric?
A perfect 15/15/15 Manectric shows 1,337 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 1,672 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.
Is Shadow Manectric better than regular Manectric?
Shadow Manectric deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more. For raids the trade is worth it; for PvP the lost bulk often is not. It arrives knowing Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket event before you power it up.
How do you get Manectric in Pokemon GO?
Evolve it from Electrike (50 Candy). It can be traded between trainers.
Can Manectric be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Manectric depends on whether Niantic has released the form. Check the events page for Community Days and event weekends, which is when shiny rates are boosted.
