() is an -type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Manectric is a quadrupedal mammalian Pokémon that is canine in appearance. It has a long dog-like muzzle and red eyes. Its body is cyan blue and yellow in color. The top of its head is pointed and spiny, with black spots on either side that appear to be its ears. It has bristly seemingly electrified fur, which sticks up as if by static electricity. It has powerful back legs with yellow spines on its flanks, and an angular, pointed blue tail. Manectric has bulky paws and with three clawed toes on both its front and back feet. 
====Mega Manectric====
As its mega evolved form, its Center spike now covers its entire back and is joined to its tail, while also deforming into the shape of a lightning bolt. The 2 horns on its side have also grown taller. The fur around its legs has turned blue and its claws have turned red. 
===Behavior===
They are solitary hunters that rarely appear before people. Because of their mysterious nature, in older times people believed that Manectric were born from lightning. This was supported by the fact that Manectric tend to make their nests in spots where lightning has struck, possibly due to the higher level of electrical activity in such areas. Places with Manectric also tend to have more thunderstorms because of how these Pokémon can conjure them. The sparks Manectric discharge while idle have been known to ignite forest fires. Consequently, most habitats Manectric inhabit are devoid of large trees, with only sparse, dry grasses sprouting from the earth.
===Natural abilities===
Manectric can have one of the two following abilities. Lightningrod and Static. Lightningrod absorbs any -type move and renders it useless. Static can cause a 30% chance paralyze the foe. It hidden ability, minus, boosts special Attack when an ally with plus or minus enters a Double Battle with it.
After mega evolving, all its abilities are replaced by Intimidate, which drops the foe's Attack by 1 stage the first turn it enters battle.
It discharges electricity from its mane. It creates a thundercloud overhead to drop lightning bolts.Its habitat is grasslands and probably wherever lightning has struck.
Its mega evolution gives it a speed boost, but it cant control the increased electricity the transformation gives.
==Evolution==
Manectric is the evolved form of Electrike as of level 26. Manectric can further evolve into Mega Manectric using its Manectite.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Manectric is likely based on a canine, due to its distinct canine facial and body structure. It is specifically similar in appearance to the maned wolf. Its mouth when closed also resembles a crocodile clip. Considering its typing, it may be based on the form the raiju (Raikou‘s basis) takes when it disguises as a wolf.
===Etymology===
Manectric's name is derived from the words "mane" and "electric".
