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, Damp. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
Mega Greninja ex runs it in 2 of the 98 lists we have read, seen across 2 different tournaments.
A strength
Mark I. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.
Keep in mind
Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 8,098 tournament lists we have read, 675 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
