# Manectric #16/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Manectric is a Hoenn favorite whose lightning-mane design earned lasting affection, and Kagemaru Himeno is one of the original Pokémon TCG illustrators, so his name carries nostalgia. A mid-tier Rare in an Emerald-era set, it appeals to Hoenn completionists and e-era collectors far more than to players. The modelled guide sits at $2.44, flat over 30 days on 8 copies traded, with 418 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $20, 8.2 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
