Its Ability

Stellar Guidance

When you play this Pokémon from your hand onto your Bench, you may search your deck for a Supporter card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.

Its attacks

Hypnostrike

Both this Pokémon and the Defending Pokémon are now Asleep.

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, Stellar Guidance. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
None of the 8,952 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 8,952 tournament lists we have read, 1,992 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
