How To Find (& Catch) Mega Manectric in Pokémon Go

Mega Manectric has made its way into Pokemon Go. This guide will show players how they can find and capture this Pokemon. Mega Evolutions were introduced back in Pokemon X and Y as the game’s main mechanic. While Mega Evolution itself has been phased out of future mainline titles, Pokemon Go reintroduced them and is slowly rolling out Mega Pokemon throughout the months. Mega Evolution also works a bit differently in Pokemon Go, as players must collect specific energy of that Pokemon in order to Mega Evolve it. This evolution will last a few hours and will boost your Pokemon’s power plentiful. This guide will show players how they can get their own Mega Manectric in Pokemon Go.

Manectric itself was introduced back in the 3rd generation with Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. It acted as one of the faster Electric-type Pokemon in the game and worked wonders for trainers who were looking for something different for the Hoenn region. This time around, players will be able to get Manectric Energy by defeating it in raid battles. Make sure to look at your raid tracker on the bottom right of the screen to see where it is available. Players can then use a raid battle pass to participate in a close distance or a Remote Raid Pass to play from far away. Here are the best possible counters for taking down Mega Manectric.

How To Find (& Catch) Mega Manectric in Pokemon Go

Since Mega Manectric is a mono-Electric-type Pokemon, players should focus on bringing Pokemon with powerful Ground-type moves. Here are some of the best Pokemon to bring along for this raid battle.

• Rhyperior: Mud-Slap and Earthquake
• Landorus: Mud Shot and Earth Power
• Groudon: Mud Shot and Earthquake
• Garchomp: Mud Shot and Earthquake
• Donphan: Mud-Slap and Earthquake
• Mamoswine: Mud-Slap and Bulldoze

Since this is a Mega Raid, it’s important to try and take on this battle with at least 5 other players in the lobby. Not only will it make it easier to bring down this Pokemon, but players are rewarded with more Premier Balls at the end of the battle for the speed it took to finish it. When the capturing moment begins, it will be in its regular form instead of its Mega Form. As mentioned, players will need to gather enough energy in order to make it Mega Evolve. Capturing this Pokemon is just the first step in making that happen.

Pokemon Go is available now on iOS and Android.
