7.5/10, because
1) +Available in a tin
2) +Power give great comeback potential
3) -Using this one makes it harder to use the Land Forme Shaymin LV.X

Good HP, Basic, Inexpensive, and compli,ments many fighting styles
 
8/10
Used this in my states deck with shayland worked splendidly!
it was easy to set up early on and fast for damage!
 
No retreat cost, decent Poke-Body - surprise factor. OK attack, though underpowered in comparison to some other attacks.

6/10 - In the right deck, can be a money card to pull off.
 
The "other" Shaymin Lv X of the set, this one doesn't have the near-greatness of its other self, but still is decent. 110 HP is 10 more than the other Shaymin Lv X, and puts it out of KO range of the many attacks that deal 100 damage, still keeps a x2 Weakness to :fire: (still lol), exchanges :water: for a -20 Resistance to :fighting: (ok, but Machamp is still gonna OHKO you with Take Out), and has no Retreat Cost (always nice). Revenge Seed (Poke-Body) makes Shaymin Lv X a great revenge killer; if any of your :grass: Pokemon were KOed the previous turn, Shaymin Lv X deals an extra 60 damage. Energy Flare is good at :grass::colorless for 50, and lets you rearrange your Energy on your Pokemon.

Modified - 7/10 (Not as good as the other Shaymin Lv X, and still gets shut down by Dialga G Lv X)
Limited - 7/10 (Good if you can get a bunch of :grass: Pokemon to use)
Unlimited - 1/10 (No...no...no)

Yup. Exactly what happened to me this past weekend at league!

Nevertheless, this is a sweet card and it's easily available. If I had played a little better (or built my deck a little better) I probably could have used that zero retreat cost to avoid having it knocked out by Machamp. I'll probably keep this card in my deck until I get my hands on the other Shaymin LV.X.

And I love the artwork. It definitely goes well with the Poke-Body.
 
I think this has a lot of potential in some decks. Particularly (grass) decks that like to use status, such as Venusaur. That way it can do 140 damage for 2 energy, since there is a Shaymin that does 80 damage to status effected pokemon.
Just an idea... maybe use it with Venomoth?
