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
170 HP. Only 2 cards in Plasma Freeze carry more.
A strength
It has an Ability, Power Connect. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
None of the 8,076 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 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 Psychic ×2. Against a Psychic Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 8,076 tournament lists we have read, 4,763 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
