Mega Manectric has returned to Pokemon GO Mega Raids for the second time. You will find it in raids from September 1, 2023, at 10 am local time to September 16, 2023, at 10 am local time. If you missed the opportunity to catch this Pokemon during its previous appearance in Mega Raids, now is the time for you to get Mega Manectric in your bag.

Since this Pokemon is a Mega beast, it will not be easy to solo defeat it. If you live in an area where not a lot of people play Pokemon GO, you might be forced to participate in raids by yourself. You could do raids remotely, but ever since Niantic increased the price of Remote Raid passes, people have been having a hard time trying to find raid mates in the game.

If you are among those who have to participate in raids alone, you might be wondering if you can defeat a Mega Manectric raid all by yourself. You have come to the right place, as we will address that in this article.
