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.

A strength
300 HP. Only 3 cards in Surging Sparks carry more.
A strength
It has an Ability, Assemble Alloy. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
Archaludon ex / N's Zoroark ex runs it in 60 of the 60 lists we have read, seen across 51 different tournaments.
A strength
Mark H. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.
Keep in mind
It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.
Keep in mind
Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 9,927 tournament lists we have read, 2,168 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
