I use this card in almost all of my decks... it's just an amazing, handy tech to have. I've noticed that this tech will go really well with many upcoming cards and wonder if they will reprint it or make a similar card... any thoughts?
 
Well, let's see what kind of Powers/abilities get printed a lot usually:
-Energy acceleration (Typhlosion, Blaziken PK, Feraligatr, Emboar, etc.)
-"revenge damage" or "revenge effects" (Nidoking RR, something in the next set, I believe Krookodile?) (although these usually suck)
-damage prevention (Donphan Prime, Babies, Samurott)
-healing (Nidoqueen RR, Serperior, Blissey Prime)
-card draw (Ninetales, Delcatty PK, Magnezone Prime, many others)

And now that you mention it, last format DID have Gardevoir PL AND Bronzong G as the energy movement guys.
So I wouldn't put it out of the question entirely. Still, Shaymin will stay in the current format for quite some time, so just hold onto them I suppose. ^^
 
Shaymin will stay in for a bit but with no new energy movement for psychic pokemon, it will be rotated out before worlds next year. Which makes it kind of fruitless to play and practice with.
 
Well not really. I mean there are plenty of events before another rotation, so the cards we have now are what we'll be using for quite some time.

no rotation is usually after worlds, this year was the first time it wasnt
 
I agree with Shaymin being a good tech in everything. I started playing this card last format, it gives you the ability to use a totally different attacker, could surprise your opponent with all of a sudden being able to attack with something that has a three attack cost when it had no energy on it last turn. I kinda doubt there will be a reprint anytime soon, maybe something with a similar yet less effective Ability may come along, it might be on a stage 2 or something though.
 
It's not really necessary for a reprint of it to be in the format. Look at claydol, we all thought what we would do without it.

Not to mention KlingKlank BW
Meganium Prime

I'm pretty sure theres others that have energy movements, I just can't think of any off the top of my head.

Nope...that is pretty much it...but Shaymin moves ANY energy and not just {P} or {G} or {M}

Only issue with shaymin how every is the fact that to reuse it you gotta seeker or Super scoop it off your bench, and it you can't pull that off, it becomes just another sitting target.
 
The only issue for everything else mentioned is that they are Stage 2's or only move one energy at a time. Also the types of energy they move are rarely played in this format. It isn't even funny how much Shaymin outclasses all of those cards. For an effective reprint of this card, we would need something that is a basic that only moves one type of energy when you bench it, or a higher Stage that could use a power like Shaymin's every turn.
