Contest Manectric vs. Houndoom

I prefer Manectric. Slightly better design, type, and movepool.
 
Type wise, I prefer Houndooms Dark/Fire combo over plain Electric, but as far as design and practicality go, I have to vote for Manectric. Who cares if it has a slightly lower SpAtk? Its faster, so it strikes first and still takes out its target. Its not like it has an abysmal SpAtk, just lower than Houndooms.
So yeah, vote 1 Manectric!
 
I just like manectric's design. I'll evolve you soon, little Electrike!
 
Houndoom is cool, but I feel like Manetric is more dependable. Plus, I always go for the Fire starter 95% of the time, so an Electric type would be more useful anyways.
 
hard to pick, I love both

(just realized that it was revived, almost from 2010 last reply... I thought it was a new thread at first)

Dang, someone revived a thread almost a decade old.
As for which I prefer, I'd say Houndoom.

While I like both dogs, I prefer Houndoom's design for both Mega and non-Mega forms.
 
Manectric, it looks cooler and is faster. That being said, Mega Houndoom>>>>Mega Manectric.
