Hit me up with the list as well please.
I really never saw that. I see the concept, but I never saw it during 2014/15 Cities and States where is probably would have been big. The only kyurem I remember was in Donphan to combat opposing donphan and any remaining Pyroar/Charizard decks, but not the EX from PLB. Do you know of any videos/links of tourneys that used the deck? I'd like to see it in action.
Gallade really isn't a problem. Once you kill one, you pretty much win the matchup. Getting an easy Gallade is really hard to do. you can just Overrun, then Turbo Volt for KO's.
This is a statement I disagree with. "Once you kill a gallade" is not easy. Unless if you run muscle band and bats/giovanni, then 150 is a hard and unrealistic number to hit with Manectric. At most you are doing 110 and they are taking 4 prizes in 2 turns. Even you go first to attack, they will win on the prize trade while having a turn to set up the bench. Odds are that because they are the one getting Gallade up in one turn with a DCE (with Shaymins, Ultra Ball, Compressor, etc.), they will be attacking with it that turn as well. You assume that they will keep it back there as a set up pokemon until they are ready, but Gallade, at least from my testing, is a heavy hitter with a cool side effect, not a bench sitter; such as Darkrai in 2013. This leaves you at a MAJOR disadvantage on the first turn, and possibly the second turn as well if you didn't get M Manectric to set up another benched pokemon.
A lot of players here plays Yveltal/zoroark/gallade or even regirock. I haven't tested with those decks yet. But I also have problems with Magnezone/raikou. Since you can't OHKO a raikou. And the prize trade is in their favor. Btw what variant of Manectric are you using?
Well you generally shouldn't expect OHkoes if you are playing Manectric Regice, which is the variant I play. It is annoying to hit and miss for 10-30 damage sometimes, but the risk of that is weighed by the benefit of attaching energy to a benched Regice or Articuno. The extra prize card or the disabling EXs from attacking is huge.
. This should go with any deck, and was big when VirGen, Pyroar, and Blastoise were the big three decks for awhile. I personally would change to Lucario Bats if that was my meta, but it's up to you.

If you play Manectric Bats, neither deck should really be a problem. They might take two prizes from gallade, but you can easily come back from Bat damage and an Assault Laser/Turbo Bolt.
In general, for your area, it seems like you just shouldn't play Manectric for the time being. I know players don't like to hear that sometimes, but knowing the metagame is one of the key ways to winning. Some people can perform well with a deck throughout the entire season, but it's hard with a shifting metagame and new cards out every few months. Granted, those people test their decks constantly and against every type of deck in the format so that they can pilot it at any tournament and perform well. Those people, in my opinion, come up short sometimes because they are not adapting to the game. If you run Yveltal the entire season and go to a tournament and before it starts you see almost every player playing Magnezone or Manectric builds, I sure as heck would change my deck
Night march is your best option. If many Manectric decks are playing assault vest with Raikou, throw in a Megaphone. It throws off a lot of decks in today's format.
I have to agree, Assault Vest nearly proves Toad useless (And other stuff). That being said, you'll have to get it into play really fast to be relevant throughout the game. But also keep in mind, Night March might have trouble setting up. You'll have to practice day in, and day out to find a fast, quick- working list that defeats other popular decks in the format. Before I say more, we might want to continue in the Night March discussion.
Toad is non existent now. Jirachi, assault vest, giratina EX, and vespiqueen killed it. Which is why decks like Magnezone, Manectric, and Yveltal are coming back.
Not really. Toad is still very much alive, it's just teched into decks now. But there are a lot of decks that do. Toad can get rid of Assault Vest with Xerosic, or keep it away before it even comes into play. Vespiquen is useless without items, Giratina shouldn't be a problem if Manectric is in the deck, and Manectric also takes card of Jirachi. Magnezone is a 50/50 Matchup, because of Raikou. But I have a friend who played Manectric/ Fighting/ Seismitoad. It's a rogue deck that basically beats everything in the format.
1 regirock, 2 Lucario-EX, 2 Hawlucha. I can give you an educated guess on what his list was if you want.
Sure I'd like that, sound interesting
