Discussion Cutie Shaymin in Zoroark Lycanroc?

[vyolet127]

So is it a good idea to shove a Shaymin from Ultra Prism into my Lycanroc Zorork? Or does the Coax energy cost prove to be detrimental in a deck with 2 fight energy and 4 dce?

Don't, just don't. If you were to do that, do Alolan Vulpix instead, it takes NO energy.

Although Alolan Vulpix's 0 energy cost is a huge plus, Shaymin still has it's own niche over Vulpix. Vulpix only puts pokemon into your hand, while Shaymin puts them out onto the bench. Vulpix's attack leaves the searched out cards vulnerable to an "N" from your opponent, and unlike Shaymin, does not allow Basic Pokemon that were searched to be evolved next turn.

However, given the low energy count alongside the need to search out evolutions in your deck, Vulpix would still be the better option for your deck
