What this card does

It deals 20 damage to one of your opponent's bench Pokémon with its first attack.

It deals 60 damage plus an extra 60 if the active enemy has a tool attached.

Signature attack

Assault Laser

If your opponent's Active Pokémon has a Pokémon Tool card attached to it, this attack does 60 more damage. (60+ damage)

The Overrun attack lets you hit multiple targets at once by damaging a bench Pokemon. This bypasses the usual rules that protect weaker bench Pokemon from weakness and resistance effects.

From the Pokédex

Manectric generates enough electricity to make its fur stand on end and cause static shocks.
