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 3 cards in Plasma Blast carry more.
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
Megalo Cannon hits for 100 on 3 Energy. Nothing in Plasma Blast hits harder for that price.
A strength
It has an Ability, Red Signal. 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
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 Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,417 tournament lists we have read, 1,251 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.
