Electrike Guide

  • Get Electrike to Manectric at level 26. At 295 BST, Electrike is just the starting point.

  • Level 26 gets you Manectric. Not the fastest evolution, so consider Exp. Share or route grinding to speed it up.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Electrike does the job early-game if you need a Electric type on your team. Evolve it into Manectric before the later gyms and it holds up fine through the story.

  • You can find Electrike in Legends: Z-A. The Locations section has the full breakdown of routes and encounter details. It also appears in 14 other games across the series.

Game Availability

Electrike first appeared in Ruby & Sapphire and has been available in 15 games across 8 generations. Obtainable through catching or hatching as a base form in most titles where it appears.
