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
310 HP. Only 2 cards in Temporal Forces carry more.
A strength
It has an Ability, Gnawing Curse. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
Gengar ex runs it in 17 of the 46 lists we have read, seen across 17 different tournaments.
A strength
Mark H. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.
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
It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Haunter to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
Keep in mind
Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,384 tournament lists we have read, 1,210 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
