Manaphy has a niche as a powerful wallbreaker outside of rain thanks to Tail Glow and its solid coverage, breaking through defensive foes such as Hippowdon, Heatran, and Garganacl. Energy Ball hits foes such as Gastrodon, Rotom-W, and Tapu Fini while Psychic hits foes such as Toxapex and Water Absorb Clodsire. Rindo Berry can be used so Manaphy can avoid revenge killers such as Kartana while improving its matchup against foes such as Tangrowth. Alternatively, Wacan Berry helps prevent Manaphy from being revenge killed by Tapu Koko and Iron Valiant. Ice Beam can be used over Psychic or Energy Ball to dent Dragonite, Ferrothorn, and Hydreigon, but Manaphy can no longer hit foes such as Toxapex and Gastrodon. Salac Berry with Substitute with either Tera Steel or Grass can be used to exploit the Pokemon that Manaphy threatens such as Hippowdon and Garganacl, outspeeding would-be revenge killers such as Tapu Koko and Kartana. Tera Water is used to boost the power of Surf, allowing Manaphy to 2HKO foes such as Ferrothorn and Unaware Clodsire. Manaphy fits best on offensive teams that appreciate its wallbreaking capabilities. Dual screens support from Tapu Koko or Grimmsnarl improves Manaphy's longevity, allowing it to set up easier. Shed Tail support from Cyclizar grants Manaphy a free switch in, helps ease prediction, and helps avoid potential revenge killers such as Zamazenta, Walking Wake, and Mega Lopunny. Teammates such as Dragapult and Volcarona appreciate Manaphy removing troublesome foes such as Mega Tyranitar, Kingambit, and Heatran for them to sweep. Manaphy also appreciates entry hazard support from teammates such as Glimmora, Landorus-T, and Annihilape, weakening foes such as Ferrothorn so Manaphy can break through them easier.

Manaphy has a niche as a powerful wallbreaker thanks to Tail Glow and its solid coverage, breaking through defensive foes such as Hippowdon, Heatran, and Garganacl. Energy Ball lets Manaphy break through foes such as Gastrodon, Rotom-W, and Tapu Fini. Psychic provides coverage for foes such as Toxapex and Water Absorb Clodsire, and Tangrowth. Rindo Berry can be used so Manaphy can avoid revenge killers such as Kartana while improving its matchup against foes such as Tangrowth. Alternatively, Wacan Berry helps prevent Manaphy from being revenge killed by Tapu Koko and Iron Valiant. Ice Beam can be used to dent Dragonite, Ferrothorn, and Hydreigon, but it is not ideal as a moveslot on it. Salac Berry with a Substitute set with either Tera Steel or Grass can be used to exploit the Pokemon that you threaten out such as Hippowdon and Garganacl, then outspeed would-be revenge killers such as Tapu Koko and Kartana. Tera Water is used to boost the power of Surf, allowing Manaphy to 2HKO foes such as Ferrothorn and Unaware Clodsire.
