Strategy Overview
Mega Manectric's blistering Speed tier lets it be an effective pivot that's able to get the jump on threats like Mega Metagross and Tapu Koko. Access to Volt Switch and Intimidate in tandem with a good typing make Mega Manectric a formidable positioning tool, letting it come in several times in a match to weaken physical attackers. Fire coverage in Overheat or Flamethrower sets it apart from other Electric-types such as Tapu Koko, and Snarl is another nice tool that punishes special attackers. However, despite its handy Intimidate, Mega Manectric can't come in on metagame-defining attackers like Zygarde and Landorus-T. Mega Manectric's damage output is also rather lackluster, and it struggles considerably with opposing speed control.
