Manectric@Life Orb / Petaya Berry / Nothing
36 HP / 252 Sp.A / 220 Spe
Timid Nature
- Charge Beam / Substitute / Thief / Light Screen / Thunderwave
- Flamethrower
- hidden power Ice / Hidden power Grass
- Thunderbolt
First slot can raise your sp.att in Charge Beam. Substitute allows you to scout and you can also use it to activate petaya berry, which is what it should be used in conjunction with. Thief screws up walls by stealing their leftovers and should be used with no hold item. Light Screen Gives you team support, whilst Thunderwave cripples whatever comes in.
You also need a Hidden power to add to this set, and to his poor movepool, hidden power Ice gives great coverage alongside thunderbolt and Flamethrower and Hits ground types hard, aswell as dragons. Hidden power Grass is mainly for the likes of Swampert, Gastrodon, Rhyperior and Golem. Plus it hits Lanturn who resists the Electric/Fire/Ice combination.
The ev spread hits 330 Speed. It also bumps Manectric's HP to 290, so Petaya Berry activates after three Subs.
If your crazy enough Manectric against OU teams, bump his Speed up to 334 so he can outrun Jolly Garchomp.
