History

As an Electrike

Manectric first appeared as an Electrike in Watt's with Wattson?. Wattson became depressed after he lost to Ash when his Pikachu knocked out all three of his Pokémon. An Electrike went up to him which cheered him up. With Electrike around, Wattson forgot about the loss completely and fed the Electric-type some Pokémon food.

Wattson continued to play with the Electrike and when Electrike was about to perform its Thunder Wave attack, Team Rocket interfered with their Vacuum car. Wattson ran up to them and asked them what they were doing with the mecha. They responded by sucking up the Pokémon in the Power Plant including Electrike and Ash's Pikachu. When Team Rocket became distracted by the robot Raikou Wattson uses at his Gym, it gave Electrike the chance to break out of the cage with Pikachu's assistance. Electrike managed to do so with its Bite attack and reunited with Wattson. It battled with Jessie's Dustox and defeated it after it gave Pikachu problems. After Team Rocket got blasted off, Electrike decided that it wanted to stay with Wattson and Wattson added it to its team. Wattson then said his goodbyes to Ash and his friends, promising to battle him again in the future.

Wattson and his Manectric

Electrike returned in Manectric Charge. When Ash and the others were at Mauville City again, Team Rocket tried to steal all of their Pokémon. However, Wattson and Watt arrived to stop Team Rocket in their tracks once again. Electrike tried to use Thunder Wave on their balloon but the attack had very little effect. When Watt's Ampharos freed the Pokémon with Iron Tail, Electrike finished the trio off along with Pikachu's Thunderbolt. After the battle, Electrike started to evolve into Manectric. Wattson was very happy to see his Electrike evolve.

Ash decided to challenge Wattson and his Manectric to a training match with his newly caught Torkoal which Wattson gladly accepted. Later in the Gym, Wattson sent it out to battle Torkoal. Torkoal started things off with Overheat which fazed Manectric a bit. When Torkoal used the move again, Manectric took very little damage this time due to Overheat's effect of getting weaker. Torkoal switched to Flamethrower which made contact with Manectric but it shook off the attack. Manectric then started to use a combination of Charge and Thunder Wave while Torkoal countered with Overheat. Due to Overheat's effect, Thunder Wave got through and hit Torkoal, which made Manectric emerge victorious.

Personality and characteristics

Before Manectric, as an Electrike, met Wattson in New Mauville, Wattson was feeling depressed after his loss. However, Electrike going up to Wattson caused him to be happy. They became fast friends despite their first encounter. Electrike was willing to do well in performing its Thunder Wave technique. It kept trying but Wattson did not let it give up. Since Electrike was interested in Wattson, he allowed it to stay. After Electrike evolved into Manectric, both of them gave each other a hug, showing affection for each other. During Ash's rematch, Manectric's Thunder Wave was very successful as it knocked out Torkoal.

As an Electrike

Wattson's Manectric first appears as an Electrike in Plugging Past Electrike I, where it was used to battle the children that challenged Wattson to a Gym battle. Together, with Wattson's two Magnemite, it easily defeated the children. After arriving in New Mauville, Wattson becomes captured by the generator powering the area. Electrike, along with Magnemite, manages to escape and gets Sapphire and the Robot King to help. During the battle with the generator, Electrike used its Lightningrod to draw in the generator's electricity, allowing Sapphire to attack and defeat it.

Activating Lightningrod as an Electrike

In VS Shiftry, Electrike was revealed to have evolved into a Manectric. There, Wattson used Manectric as transport to take him to Fortree City.

During the battle with Kyogre, Manectric was used to battle Sea Basin Pokémon, although it proved to be too strong for Manectric to damage it heavily. Later, Manectric was used to battle Amber when the Team Aqua Admin came to prevent Wattson from stopping Kyogre's rampage. First, Manectric faced Amber's Pelipper, and easily won thanks to its type advantage.

Having no Pokémon left to fight, Amber borrowed a Nincada from Shelly to battle with Wattson. Despite this, Manectric manages to easily defeat Nincada, until it begins evolving. Nincada evolves into Ninjask, and with its speed, Ninjask gained a powerful advantage over its opponent. To counter Ninjask's speed, Wattson had his Manectric pin its opponent to the ground and attacked itself with a suicidal Thunder, knocking both Pokémon out at the same time.

Despite this victory, Amber reveals that his Nincada also created a Shedinja from the evolution. The Shedinja knocks Wattson out and sends him into the water, with Manectric also knocked down soon after. Later, Wattson and Manectric are rescued by Sapphire's Lorry, who sent them back up to the surface with Dive and Water Spout.

Wattson and Electrike

In that chapter, Electrike was hiding in some bushes waiting for the right moment to strike. It leaped out of there and took the cake that Red bought from a bakery. Electrike was shown to have leaped in the air per step. Red and his Pokémon follow Electrike, via the footprints it left behind. The footprints led them to Wattson, its owner, and they were eating the cake that Electrike stole earlier. Wattson explained to the group that he had his Electrike take the cake from them in order to hand out a special card. Electrike then hid in a trash can with Wattson and they leap out, with Wattson giving the guy the same card given to Red. Clefairy didn't like Wattson's tricks so Electrike growled at Clefairy for disagreeing.
