For Expanded, Ho-Oh EX from Black & White Dragons Exalted has an ability that brings back itself from the discard pile onto the Bench as well as three different basic energies…if you flipped heads. The drawback is wasting three bench slots because you need a Grass, Water, and Lightning Pokemon in play. For Standard, I can think of Arceus Prism Star to fetch three energies from your deck to your Pokemon, and Arceus can fit into any deck. Both cost the same, well, if you want to exploit an additional effect for the GX attack. One would be to supply them energy to use both of its attacks. Putting it all together, I can think of two ways to use ZapMolCuno. Shaymin-EX, Jirachi-EX, some Prism Star Pokemon, Lost March, Night March, and others get KOed and renders most of their setup useless. Costly as before, but 110 damage is enough to Knock Out some of the much smaller EX Pokemon as well as some single prize attackers that you want to get rid of. But if you also have one extra Water, Fire, and Lightning Energy attached to it – the same cost as Trinity Burn – then you inflict 110 damage to 3 of your opponent’s Pokemon. Sky Legend GX costs C and puts this Pokemon and all cards attached to it into your deck. Whether one can meet the attack cost depends on the available card pool in both formats, and we’ll get to it later. The damage is decent for the energy invested, but having to have three different energy is not. 300 HP is tied with Magikarp & Wailord-GX as the highest printed HP, though the Lightning weakness can make the trio more fragile, as 150 damage is needed for a OHKO, and 4 uses of Electropower plus Choice Band from any puny Lightning Pokemon makes it a somewhat easy feat. Being a Basic is the best stage due to being efficient and easy to play. There are other cards that had multiple Pokémon on the card, but most of them are joke jumbo promo cards that is not allowed in competitive play, and even the cards specify that those cards can’t be used at tournaments, so don’t even try to being a 500 HP Pokémon that does 1000 damage! I believe this card pays homage to somewhere in the manga where three of those legendary birds combined to create ZapMolCuno! Moving on, being a GX means having considerably high HP, a GX attack, gives up three prizes due to being a Tag Team, and gets excluded from certain effects. Despite having three Pokémon on the card, it’s Tag Team mechanic still makes this worth three prizes (instead of four that I initially thought). At last, we get to see the actual mascot of Sky Legends, Articuno & Zapdos & Moltres-GX.
