What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

Keep in mind
None of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
Keep in mind
It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Flaaffy to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
Keep in mind
Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 760 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
Keep in mind
Mark E. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
