Manectric

Manectric's stats and movepool make it a very decent Special Attacker in NU. Base 105 Speed grants Manectric the ability to outspeed common threats like Charizard, Typhlosion, and Dodrio, and its access to Flamethrower separates itself from other Electric-types, as it allows it to break through the likes of Magneton, Vileplume, and Meganium without much trouble. Moreover, due to its Speed tier and access to Switcheroo, Manectric is a premier Choice Scarf user in NU, able to revenge kill most setup sweepers like Dragon Dance Charizard and Sunny Day Vileplume. However, Manectric's bulk is mediocre, making it susceptible to faster Pokemon like Tauros and Floatzel and strong priority like Sucker Punch from Skuntank and Shiftry. Moreover, its Special Attack, while good, isn't amazing, and its movepool lacks important coverage moves like Focus Blast. Therefore, Manectric has a tough time against special walls like Cradily, Regirock, and Lickilicky. Furthermore, as an offensive Electric-type, Manectric faces competition from Magneton, which packs slightly better Special Attack, valuable defensive utility, and a secondary Steel typing that allows it to dent some of the aforementioned special walls.
