Mega Manectric's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Mega Manectric PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

The addition of Discharge+ to Mega Manectric's movepool instantly propels it to among the top Electric types in Pokémon GO. While this is its moment to shine, will Mega Manectric remain a top-tier Mega Evolution or is it just its 15 minutes of fame? Let's find out.

Electric type

Mega Manectric trails just behind Mega Raichu Y in Electric-type DPS while boasting a higher TDO. And the irony is that with Thunder Fang + Discharge+, it can situationally outperform Mega Raichu Y as the bulkier Mega Manectric also has a lower cooldown with Discharge+. In other words, you're arguably able to fire off more Charged Attacks against the Raid Boss, and in time sensitive Raids, this gives Mega Manectric a slight edge. We emphasize "slight" since Mega Raichu Y is still dealing a respectable 8.59% higher damage.

Is it worth investing in a Mega Manectric?

No, and here's why:

To begin with, Mega Raichu Y will reign supreme over Mega Manectric not just in damage numbers, but also that it is cheaper to power up. Secondly, the eventual debut of Mega Zeraora will leave Mega Raichu Y behind (although the latter is way more economical to power up), and leave Mega Manectric in the dust.

But the nail in the coffin would be the fact that Mega Ampharos (294 ATK) and Mega Eelektross (291 ATK) could make Mega Manectric (286 ATK) totally forgotten with their Thunder Punch+ and Wild Charge+ attacks. As such, it's best to hold your horses and not invest in a Mega Manectric. Just focus on Mega Raichu Y, but do use Mega Manectric in the current meta if you have one with high IVs.

Mega Manectric PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

With low bulk, better Electric-type options, and lack of coverage, Mega Manectric is a poor choice for all PvP Leagues. In both the Mega Great League and Mega Ultra League, Mega Raichu X is widely preferred. On the other hand, Mega Manectric's strength is overwhelmingly outclassed by a host of Legendary Pokémon, with even base Zekrom being better.
