Pokemon GO: Mega Manectric Raid Guide
Raid Battles are one of the biggest obstacles, yet most rewarding fights to take on in Pokemon GO, with many Raids featuring some of the most powerful specimens such as Legendary and Mythical Pokemon, Ultra Beasts, Shadow Pokemon, and Mega Evolutions. While Trainers can always work together to try take down these powerhouses, this isn’t always an option, meaning each solo Trainer will need to plan a reliable team in advance to help give themselves the best shot at victory.
With every Raid boss rotation in the game, players will need to alter the Pokemon that they decide to use, keeping in mind key pointers such as Type advantage and coverage, as well as minor boosts such as Weather Effects. When it comes to Mega Raids, these details become even more crucial to success, especially if players are looking to defeat and capture featured Raid bosses. For this reason, everything that Trainers will need to know in order to successfully prepare a suitable team and take on Mega Manectric has been included in the guide below.

Mega Manectric takes reduced damage whilst battling against Pokemon of the Electric, Flying, and Steel Types, and deals increased damage to the latter two, so Trainers should avoid using specimens who wield these attributes in matchups against Mega Manectric.
