  Pretty much. And it’s a rare and can’t evolve.

Unless you seriously plan on running quick attack (Which is still only situationally better than eelektrik’s one attacking move) as your attacking move, you will need to get two energy assists off (and thus sacrifice TWO attacks while keeping this in the active position) in order for this ever to outperform Eelektrik’s power..and once you have two eelektriks out, Dynamotor completely outperforms Energy Assist outside of rainbow decks.

If Energy Assist were costless, this card might see SOME play (it’s still generally a bad idea), but requiring a lightning energy nullifies the advantage of the additional attachment and makes this less useful in multicolored decks.

Oh, a Manectric. Is it another of these useless junk rares ?
*reads the card*
Oh yeah, it is.

“Hey Bob, I’ve got a great idea ! Let’s make every final evolution stage rare cards ! Even if they are uncommon in Japan”
“Great idea John, let’s make this so 99% of the paper we use to print cards is going to be used as combustible.”

Seriously, cards like this are disrespect to the trees.

There doesn’t seem to be a rarity listed for this one
