Use Mega Manectric as a fast pivot against physical attackers: bring it in to lower their Attack, then use Volt Switch to change to a teammate. Check that the moves and Mega mechanics below are available in your Pokémon Champions ruleset; the supplied material does not confirm them.
Proposed moves and role
The draft proposes Thunderbolt, Volt Switch, Overheat, and Hidden Power Ice. It presents Volt Switch as the move for dealing damage while switching out, and Overheat as coverage against Grass- and Steel-types. Hidden Power Ice is suggested for Ground-types such as Garchomp and Gliscor.
Treat this as a proposed set, not a verified in-game build. Confirm the moves are available before planning around them. The draft also names Manectricite as the Mega Evolution item, but the supplied information does not confirm item requirements or Mega Evolution rules in Pokémon Champions.
The draft’s central tactical idea is to use Intimidate against physical attackers and preserve momentum with Volt Switch. Intimidate does not lower Special Attack, so this approach does not address special attackers in the same way.
When to bring it in
The draft recommends switching Mega Manectric in on a resisted hit or a predicted switch, then using Volt Switch to move to a teammate. It also advises pairing it with a Pokémon that can handle Ground-type attacks. These are suggested tactics; the supplied sources do not establish which teammates or matchups work best in the game.
Before building around this plan, confirm the set’s move and item requirements in your ruleset.

Nice guide. I am checking the other Pokémon Champions articles next.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
Good guide for Pokémon Champions players. The strategy part was useful.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
