How to Get Discharge Plus on Mega Manectric in Pokémon GO
How to Get Discharge Plus on Mega Manectric in Pokémon GO Image Pokémon GO.
The practical answer to How to Get Discharge Plus on Mega Manectric in Pokémon GO is to Mega Evolve Manectric once the Fall Marathon update makes it eligible. Pokémon that can reach Super Max receive their additional Charged Attack whenever they are Mega Evolved, regardless of their current Mega Level.
- Choose the Manectric you want to Mega Evolve.
- Collect enough Manectric Mega Energy for the Mega Evolution if needed.
- Mega Evolve Manectric after Discharge+ eligibility begins.
- Use Discharge+ as the extra Charged Attack while Mega Manectric remains active.
You do not need to delete Wild Charge, Thunder, Overheat or another normal Charged Attack. Discharge+ occupies the additional Mega attack slot supplied by the newer Mega Evolution system.
Do you need a Charged TM for Discharge+?
No Charged TM or Elite Charged TM is required for How to Get Discharge Plus on Mega Manectric in Pokémon GO. The attack is attached to Mega Manectric’s eligibility rather than Manectric’s permanent standard move pool.
This also means repeatedly using Charged TMs on a normal Manectric will not produce Discharge+. Keep the normal moves you want on Manectric and let the Mega Evolution system supply the additional attack when the Pokémon Mega Evolves.
Do you need Super Max Level for Discharge+?
No. Super Max is not the unlock condition for How to Get Discharge Plus on Mega Manectric in Pokémon GO. Pokémon GO says eligible Mega Pokémon know their additional Charged Attack regardless of which Mega Level they currently have.
Super Max still matters because the power of Discharge+ increases with Mega Level. A Trainer can therefore use the attack before finishing the fourth Mega Level, then improve its battle performance as the same Manectric progresses toward Super Max.
How strong is Discharge+?
At announcement, Discharge+ is listed at 50 power in Trainer Battles and 150 power in Raid Battles. Those values are the starting point for understanding How to Get Discharge Plus on Mega Manectric in Pokémon GO, because Pokémon GO also states that the move’s power increases with the Pokémon’s Mega Level.
| Mode | Announced Discharge+ power |
|---|---|
| Trainer Battles | 50 |
| Raid Battles | 150 |

Our Mega Manectric Super Max guide explains the fourth-level requirement. If Mega Energy is the bottleneck, use our Mega Energy guide alongside the event’s Rank 20 Buddy bonus and Manectric Mega Energy Field Research.
Does Discharge+ stay after Mega Manectric ends?
Discharge+ is available while the Pokémon is Mega Evolved. Once Mega Manectric returns to normal Manectric, the extra Mega-specific attack is no longer available until it Mega Evolves again. That temporary availability is central to How to Get Discharge Plus on Mega Manectric in Pokémon GO.
