ALL ABOUT MANECTRIC:
Type: Electric
Abilities: Static/Lightningrod/Minus (hidden)
Stats: 70/75/60/105/60/105
Manectric, at first glance, appears to be outclassed by its Electric brothers Jolteon and Rotom-H. However, Manectric has one ace in the hole that neither of them have: A Fire attack that doesn't cripple it. With Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, and Hidden Power [Ice], it can achieve perfect coverage on everything besides Lanturn and Rotom-H. However, Rotom-H is UU, and Manectric is RU. Manectric can rough up almost the entire tier.

OTHER OPTIONS:
Wherever it says HP Ice, you can run HP Grass if you want to hit Quagsire and Rhydon harder.
A Rain Dance set is possible, but it gets outclassed by other Pokemon since his ace in the hole, his Fire attacks, get weakened.
Overall, Manectric hs the power and moves to tear up RU. Try him out, and be pleased with the results.
