Mega Manectric in Pokemon GO
Mega Manectric is the mega-evolution of the Generation III "Discharge" Pokemon, Manectric, which originally hails from the Hoenn region with a PokeDex number of 310. It is a pure electric-type that evolves from Electrike using 50 candies.
While Manectric, itself, may not be very impressive on its own, its mega-evolution is sure to turn heads. Its stats are as follows:
- Maximum CP: 4,048
- Attack: 286
- Defense: 179
- Stamina: 172
Its best moveset contains the quick move Snarl paired with the charged move Wild Charge.
Trainers will be able to encounter this Pokemon in raids alongside Mega Houndoom and Mega Abomasnow until the end of the event on Monday, March 22 at 8m p.m. local time.
