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
It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.
A strength
Cynthia's Garchomp ex runs it in 121 of the 121 lists we have read, seen across 97 different tournaments.
A strength
Mark I. 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
It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Cynthia's Gabite to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
Keep in mind
Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 9,928 tournament lists we have read, 6,197 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
