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

It evolves from Electrike starting at level 26.

Contents

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. 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.

Habitat

Trivia

  • Although in the anime it is Wattson's main battler, in the games Manectric wasn't even on Wattson's team until Emerald.

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. Its Japanese name may be a combination of lion, live (a wire carrying an electric current), and volt. The name may also be a combination of 雷 rai, thunder, and bolt.

In other languages

  • Korean: 썬더볼트 Thunderbolt
