Manectric (Japanese: ライボルト Livolt) is an Electric-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Manectric is an 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.
