This attack does 30 more damage for each point you have gotten.
Mega Manectric ex scales Lightning Accelerator's damage by 30 for every point you have already scored — starting at 80 and reaching up to 140 with 2 points on the board. The win condition is converting early KOs into a snowballing damage bonus that eliminates any target in the mid-to-late game.
Open by searching Electrike with Poke Ball and immediately attaching Lightning energy, while using Electric Generator to speed attachment on the bench. Get Mega Manectric ex active as soon as possible and use Lightning Accelerator for 80 damage on turn 2 (as second player). Each KO you score increases subsequent Lightning Accelerator hits by 30. Zeraora and Oricorio provide bench support and coverage. Pichu stalls early while evolutions are assembled. Rocky Helmet and Giant Cape protect Mega Manectric ex during the scaling phase.
Lightning Accelerator scaling
base 80 + (30 x points scored) = up to 140 at 2 points
At 1 point: 110 dmg; at 2 points: 140 dmg — the usable damage ceiling, since 3 points ends the game before you can attack
Get Lightning Accelerator online by turn 2 or 3 and immediately target the opponent's lowest-HP active for the first KO. That 1-point score pushes Lightning Accelerator to 110, enough to KO most non-ex attackers. At 2 points it reaches 140, clearing most ex Pokemon in one hit. Training Area supports energy acceleration to maintain attack tempo.
Giant Cape and Rocky Helmet extend survivability and punish opponents who swing into Mega Manectric ex. Pokémon Center Lady can heal chip damage before it accumulates to a KO. Sabrina lets you pull up a threatening benched Pokemon to secure KOs cleanly. Zeraora and Oricorio provide secondary threats forcing the opponent to split attention.
Mega Manectric ex is worth 3 points — knocking it out is an instant win for you. At 180 HP, fire-type burst attackers or pre-charged heavy hitters can reach that threshold. Build toward a one-shot while Mega Manectric ex is still at 80 damage output, denying it the KOs it needs to scale its damage bonus.
Lightning Accelerator at 0 points is only 80 damage. Decks that field high-HP targets, use healing tools, or retreat injured Pokemon before they are KO'd prevent the score counter from rising. Without a KO, Mega Manectric ex never reaches 110+ and remains beatable. Cyrus can be used offensively to deny energy on the bench.
Rocky Helmet punishes Mega Manectric ex for attacking, but you can flip this: apply bench damage to Mega Manectric ex through attacks that hit benched targets, forcing chip accumulation without triggering Rocky Helmet. Decks with spread or snipe attacks pressure Mega Manectric ex's 180 HP from a safe position.
