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 is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.
A strength
No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.
Keep in mind
None of the 7,542 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.
