His mega form is even more vital. You regularly meet it in the mega raids.

Who is Mega Manectric in Pokémon Go?

Initially encountered in the Hoenn region of Gen III, the blue and yellow canine Manectric served as little more than a Pokédex entry when introduced to Pokémon Go. It has decent stats, but nothing outstanding and certainly nothing compared to Legendary Electric types, like Raikou, Zekrom, and Zapdos.

However, with Mega Evolution providing a considerable boost not only to Manectric’s stats but also to any Electric-type allies, Mega Manectric will be a handy addition to your roster. It can keep pace with Mega Ampharos and has fewer weaknesses.

Here we show you the best counters against Mega Voltenso and against which types it is weak (type effectiveness). When is Mega Voltenso in Pokémon GO? You can find it in Pokémon GO Mega Raids from April 5, 2022, to April 12, 2022.

Mega Evolution strategies for Mega Manectric in Pokémon Go?

There are a handful of options for Mega Evolution when countering Mega Manectric, but only one that focused on its sole weakness: Ground.

Mega Steelix

Currently, Mega Steelix is the only Ground-type Mega Evolved Pokémon in the game. This is unfortunate because Mega Steelix cannot deal the damage necessary to make it perform well in raids. However, it is a tank and will last a long time on the field while boosting Ground types. It resists Electric-type damage as a Ground and Steel type but takes super effective damage from Fire-type moves. Mega Steelix also lacks a Ground-type fast action, so you’ll want Dragon Tail and Earthquake for its moveset.

Honourable mentions

While these will perform better in a vacuum, the following Mega Evolved Pokémon won’t provide a helpful Mega Boost but can still work for this raid:

• Mega Gengar with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
• Mega Aerodactyl with Rock Throw and Earth Power
• Mega Charizard Y with Fire Spin and Blast Burn
• Mega Blastoise with Water Gun and Hydro Cannon
• Mega Charizard X with Fire Spin and Blast Burn
• Mega Beedrill with Poison Jab and Drill Run
• Mega Houndoom with Fire Fang and Foul Play

What are the best counters for Mega Manectric in Pokémon Go?

As a pure Electric-type, Manectric can deal Electric, Dark, and Fire-type damage, and its only weakness is Ground. While that means this is a fairly straightforward fight, it does come with some promising strategies in the future when more Ground-type Mega Evolutions are introduced. However, ground-types with moves like Mud-Slap, Mud Shot, Earth Power, and Earthquake make up the bulk of our recommendations.

Garchomp

Initially encountered in the Sinnoh region of Gen IV, Garchomp is the top counter in this Mega Raid. In its first stage, Gible has been featured in events, including Community Day, so most players have had the chance to add Garchomp to their roster. As a Ground and Dragon-type, Garchomp takes reduced damage from Electric and Fire while having no relevant weaknesses. And, though it’s not been introduced in Pokémon Go yet, Garchomp does have a Mega Evolution that will eventually make it even more effective in this fight. Mud Shot and the Community Day exclusive move, Earth Power, are the moves you’ll want your Garchomp to know. The earthquake will also work well if you don’t have the Community Day exclusive move or an Elite TM to spare.

Groudon

The Legendary mascot of Pokémon Ruby, Groudon, is no longer the best counter for Mega Manectric, but it’s still one of the best. As a pure Ground-type, it takes reduced damage from Electric attacks and has no relevant weaknesses. Although Groudon is a Legendary, it’s been available many, many times in Raids and from Special Research, Research Breakthrough rewards, and the Pokémon Go Battle League. Safe to say, most players have had multiple chances to add Groudon to their roster. If you are bringing the Continent Pokémon to this fight, you’ll want it to know Mud Shot and Earthquake.

Shadow Pokémon?

The rebalance of Shadow Pokémon rescued from Team GO Rocket make them excellent glass cannons. Not only are their stats boosted, but during special events or with Elite TMs, it’s possible to change their moves. If you happen to have any of the following Pokémon with the proper moveset, they will work very well in this Raid:

• Shadow Mewtwo with Confusion and Psystrike
• Shadow Mamoswine with Mud-Slap and Bulldoze
• Shadow Flygon with Mud Shot and Earth Power
• Shadow Swampert with Mud Shot and Earthquake
• Shadow Salamence with Dragon Tail and Outrage
• Shadow Ho-Oh with Hidden Power and Earthquake
• Shadow Nidoking with Fury Cutter and Earth Power
• Shadow Dragonite with Dragon Tail and Outrage
• Shadow Nidoqueen with Poison Jab and Earth Power
• Shadow Entei with Fire Fang and Overheat

How many players does it take to beat Mega Manectric in Pokémon Go?

Although few can beat Mega Manectric as three top-level Trainers with the best counters, this is a Mega Raid we’re talking about. The more players you can include in your Raid party, the faster you will beat it, earning you all more Mega Energy. I’d recommend having at least five Trainers when you tackle Mega Manectris.

Weather conditions that can impact this Raid include:

• Rain will boost Mega Manectric’s Electric-type attacks.
• Sunny/Clear Weather will boost its Fire attack and your Ground-type counters.
• Fog will boost Mega Manectric’s Dark-type attack.
