Its Ability

Cobalt Commandコバルトコマンド

Attacks used by your Future Pokémon, except any Iron Crown ex, do 20 more damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance).このポケモンがいるかぎり、自分の「未来」のポケモン（「テツノカシラex」をのぞく）が使うワザの、相手のバトルポケモンへのダメージは「+20」される。

Its attacks

Twin Shotelsツインショーテル

This attack does 50 damage to 2 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance, or by any effects on those Pokémon.相手のポケモン2匹に、それぞれ50ダメージ。このワザのダメージは、弱点・抵抗力と、ダメージを受けるポケモンにかかっている効果を計算しない。

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
It has an Ability, Cobalt Command. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
Latias ex / Mega Kangaskhan ex runs it in 39 of the 83 lists we have read, seen across 33 different tournaments.
A strength
It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.
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
Weakness Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,384 tournament lists we have read, 3,344 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
