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, Shadow Curse. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
None of the 3,810 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 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 Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 2,312 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
