Pokemon Go Mega Manectric Raid Counters
As a solely Electric-type, Mega Manectric is only vulnerable to attacks of the Ground type. Mega Manectric last made an appearance in Raids when Mega Steelix hadn’t yet been released. Having Mega Steelix on your squad will be quite beneficial, even though there are still plenty of powerful Ground kinds that you can face.
Sadly, Mega Steelix doesn’t have the most effective Ground-type attacks. Since Earthquake is the sole Ground move it may employ, Dragon Tail is its most effective Quick Attack when facing Mega Manectric. Yet, it is worth the slot to use Mega Steelix only to increase your team’s Ground-type assaults.
There are other non-Mega alternatives to Mega Steelix. A few good choices that are accessible include Mamoswine, Excadrill, Golurk, and Krookodile.
Trainers will be greatly assisted in this battle by Ground-type Legendaries. Both Groudon and Landrous—its Incarnate and Theran Formes—are extremely potent and have the moves necessary to defeat Mega Manectric with ease.
The Dragon and Ground-type pseudo-legendary Garchomp is a standout choice for Mega Manectric Raids. Its moves can do massive amounts of damage swiftly, yet its type can withstand almost all of them. More on that later.
Here is a list of great Mega Manectric counters with their optimal movesets.

Mega Manectric will probably assault opponents with at least one Electric-type move because he is an Electric-type.
Mega Manectric has two Electric-type Fast Moves, Charge Beam and Thunder Fang, which deal STAB-increased damage against all Pokemon that don’t resist them. Ground, Dragon, Grass, and other Electric types are the only ones that are resistant to Electric moves. Garchomp and other Pokémon that can withstand it are best for this conflict.
Attacks of the Dark type The third and last Fast Attack option offered by Mega Manectric is Snarl. Although the move only has a 33 percent chance of hitting, it is quite effective against Golurk and other psychic and ghost kinds. Dark kinds like Krookodile, however, will actually be resistant to all of Mega Manectric’s moves.
Mega Manectric will engage in combat with either an Electric-type attack or a Fire-type attack as its Charged Moves. Mega Manectric has four different Charged Move options, including the Fire-Overheat type’s and Flame Burst as well as the Electric-Wild type’s Charge and Thunder. If Mega Manectric is carrying two Electric moves, Ground types shouldn’t have a problem, but if the Mega also carries one of the Fire moves, some Pokemon may have trouble.
Trainers must be alert if Manectric has a Fire-type move because Mega Steelix, Mammoswine, and Excadrill are vulnerable to them. On the other hand, Pokemon like Rhyperior and Garchomp are resistant to every Charged Move that Manectric may use.
