Strategy Overview
This analysis was written well over a decade ago. The following content is no longer accurate about this Pokemon's place in the metagame and the ADV OU metagame in general.
It has a bad movepool and its 4x Electric weakness hurts a lot, especially considering that the special attacks most teams need to wall are Electric and Psychic--it doesn't resist the latter either. Just about all Mantine is good for in OU is walling Suicune, Milotic, Swampert, and other Water-types.
