Manectric · Vivid Voltage, what to know.
About the Manectric card
Numbered 52 of 203 in Vivid Voltage, released in November 2020, Manectric is a Rare, a Stage 1 Lightning-type carrying 120 HP.
It evolves from Electrike, so Manectric is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Manectric Pokédex entry reads: "It stimulates its own muscles with electricity, so it can move quickly. It eases its soreness with electricity, too, so it can recover quickly as well."
What is Manectric worth?
Manectric is a non-holo Rare. In Vivid Voltage, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Manectric trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Manectric before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
On Manectric, look at the corners and the framed border first. Non-holo Rares took more handling than the chase holos, so a sharp, centered copy of Manectric in a true PSA 10 is harder to find than the print run suggests.
If you are collecting Manectric
For Manectric, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Manectric rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
