Provenance

Where it came from

Released in November 2009 as part of the Arceus expansion, this card represents the Lightning-type iteration of Manectric within the Diamond and Pearl era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set itself was designed to celebrate the Mythical Pokémon Arceus, featuring a unique mechanic that allowed players to include any number of Arceus cards in their deck, shifting the meta-game focus toward synergy and elemental versatility.

The card features artwork by Kagemaru Himeno, a long-time illustrator for the franchise known for a dynamic, clean style that emphasizes the creature's electrical essence. Within the Arceus set, this Rare card was positioned as a tactical mid-range choice, praised by players at the time for its ability to provide utility in electric-themed decks, consistent with the set's broader goal of balancing classic type mechanics with the specialized focus on the series' legendary figures.
