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
Smashing Headbutt hits for 180 on 4 Energy. Nothing in Black Bolt hits harder for that price.
A strength
Mark I. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.
Keep in mind
None of the 5,392 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
Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,392 tournament lists we have read, 2,174 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
