What are some good checks/counters for Mega Manetric?

Question is pretty much self-explanitory. Please provide sets and explain how it counters it. Thank you.

You could use Snorlax. He’s got great special bulk, and he can sponge Mega-Manectric’s attacks.

Snorlax @ LeftoversAbility: ImmunityEVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 SpDCareful Nature- Earthquake- Pursuit- Zen Headbutt- Curse

EarthQuake, with the given EVs, should 2HKO Manectric. Pursuit is to hurt him if he tries to switch out, which is probable. (I’m pretty sure pursuit works with volt switch) Zen headbutt is coverage. You could use body slam, though. Curse if your opponent gives you time to set up.

Still, he won’t last long without rest, his main recovery move.You could therefore use a RestTalk Set!(here’s one, if you’ve never heard of it)

This probably goes without question but Im guessing you already tried a ground type Pokemon. I don’t see Manetric knowing any Grass or Water type moves, but then again I haven’t checked lately.

According to smogon, These Pokemon counter Mega Manetric:

Faster: Mega Sceptile, Mega Beedrill, Mega Aerodactyl, and Choice Scarf users like Infernape, Krookodile, and TerrakionGround types: Krookodile, Gliscor, Nidoking, Seismitoad, Gastrodon, Hippowdon, and MamoswineDragon Types: Hydreigon, Mega Altaria, Latias, and Mega LatiasSpecialy Bulky mons: Alolan Muk and BlisseyAnd residual damage (because it has no healing meathods)

These are what counters Mega ManetricSource(Smogon)
