Wattson's Manectric: Difference between revisions

Wattson's Manectric debuted as an Electrike in ''[[PS204|Plugging Past Electrike I]]'', where he was used to battle the children that challenged Wattson to a Gym battle. Together with Wattson's two {{p|Magnemite}}, he easily defeated the children. After arriving in [[New Mauville]], Wattson becomes captured by the generator powering the area. Electrike, along with Magnemite, manages to escape and gets {{adv|Sapphire}} and the [[Trick Master|Robot King]] to help. During the battle with the generator, Electrike used his {{a|Lightning Rod}} Ability to draw in the generator's electricity, allowing Sapphire to attack and defeat it.

During the [[PS237|battle]] with {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}, Manectric was used to battle the {{pkmn|Category|Sea Basin Pokémon}}, although it proved to be too strong for Manectric to damage it heavily. In ''[[PS245|Bravo, Vibrava]]'', Manectric was used to battle {{adv|Amber}} when the Team Aqua Admin came to prevent Wattson from stopping Kyogre's rampage. First, Manectric faced Amber's {{p|Pelipper}}, easily beating it due to his type advantage.

Having no Pokémon left to fight, Amber borrowed a {{p|Nincada}} from [[Shelly]] to battle with Wattson. Despite this, Manectric manages to easily defeat Nincada, until it begins evolving. Nincada evolves into {{p|Ninjask}}, and with its speed, Ninjask gained a powerful advantage over its opponent. To counter Ninjask's speed, Wattson had his Manectric pin its opponent to the ground and attacked itself with a suicidal {{m|Thunder}} strike, knocking both Pokémon out at the same time.

Despite this victory, Amber reveals that his Nincada also created a {{p|Shedinja}} from the evolution. The Shedinja knocks Wattson out and sends him into the water, with Manectric also knocked down soon after. Later, Wattson and Manectric are rescued by Sapphire's {{p|Wailord}}, {{DL|Sapphire (Adventures)|Lorry}}, who sent them back up to the surface by using {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Water Spout}}.
