Its Ability

Extra Energy Bomb

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may attach 5 Energy cards from your discard pile to your Pokémon, except Pokémon-GX or Pokémon-EX, in any way you like. If you do, this Pokémon is Knocked Out.

Its attacks

Electro Ball

Crush and Burn GX

30+

Discard any amount of Energy from your Pokémon. This attack does 50 more damage for each card you discarded in this way. (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

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
Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.
A strength
It has an Ability, Extra Energy Bomb. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
None of the 5,417 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 Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,417 tournament lists we have read, 1,215 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

The other cards of this Pokémon
