Manectric (Japanese: ライボルト Livolt) is an Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Electrike starting at level 26.

Biology

Physiology

Manectric is a mammal-like Pokémon that resembles a blue dog or wolf. It has a yellow mane on its head that it discharges electricity from, as well as yellow clumps of fur at the top of its hind legs and around its front two feet.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Manectric can discharge electricity from its mane to create thunderstorms and thunderclouds in the atmosphere. The sparks can often start fires. Like its pre-evolution Electrike, it possibly generates the electricity in its fur and mane from the friction caused when it runs. The electricity it discharges ranges from a weak shock such as Thunder Wave to paralyze the opponent, to a strong Thunderbolt to deal large amounts of damage. Manectric also has the ability to learn Flamethrower and Overheat.

Behavior

Manectric is an independent Pokémon; it rarely appears before humans. This may be due to the fact that it summons storm clouds upon entering a battle.

Trivia

  • Although in the anime it is Wattson's main battler, in the games Manectric wasn't even on Wattson's team until Emerald. It may have been added in Emerald to match the anime, similarly to Blaine's Magmar in Yellow.

Origin

It may be based on a demon of Japanese lore, the 雷獣 raijū, an elemental lightning creature that can take on the shape of various mammals.

Name origin

Manectric's name can be broken down into mane and electric. Alternatively, "manticore" and "electric".

Livolt may be a combination of lion or live, referring to a wire actively carrying an electric current, and volt. The name may also be a combination of 雷 rai, thunder, and bolt.
