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 has an Ability, Inferno Fandango. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
Blaziken ex runs it in 1 of the 21 lists we have read, seen across 1 different tournaments.
A strength
Mark I. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.
Keep in mind
Retreat cost 4. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.
Keep in mind
It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Pignite to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
Keep in mind
Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,466 tournament lists we have read, 2,204 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
