Overview
Lapras V is quite a tanky Pokemon since it has 210 HP for being Basic Pokemon. If you look at its Weakness, you will notice that it is Lightning now. From the previous expansion, Lapras's Weakness is mostly Grass and sometimes its Weakness is Metal. This can be either good or bad depending on the popularity of Lightning Pokemon in upcoming Sword & Shield Expansion.
Lapras V's second Attack Ocean Recycle has massive Damage of 210 and you will need 4 Energy to use this Attack. After using this Attack, you need to return 2 Energy from Lapras V to your Hand. 210 Damage for 4 Energy is great deal since it is strong enough to Knock Out most of the Basic V Pokemon. But, the problem is that you need to re-attach 2 Energy again which takes 2 more turns. So, you definitely need support cards that accelerate Energy Set Up.

Its other Attack Homing Wave is mainly for Energy Set Up for Lapras V. This Attack allows you to attach 1 Water Energy from your Hand to Lapras V and then switch it with 1 of your Benched Pokemon. You can use this effect to attach 2 Energy to Lapras V within 1 Turn.
Its Evolution Lapras VMax is also equip with powerful attack G-Max Pump. This attack has 90 Base Damage and does 30 more Damage for each Water Energy attached to Lapras VMax. If you have 4 Water Energy attached to Lapras VMax, you will get 210 Damage (90 + 30*4). This is the same amount of Damage as Lapras V's Ocean Recycle Attack. Unlike Ocean Recycle Attack, G-Max Pump doesn't require you to return 2 Energy from Lapras VMax to deal same amount of Damage.
