Its Ability

Ion Coating

You may use this power once during each of your turns (before your attack). All Lightning Energy attached to your Active Pokémon becomes Water Energy for the rest of the turn. (This effect ends if your Active Pokémon retreats or is returned to your hand.) This power can't be used if Lanturn is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Electric Tackle

20+

This attack does 20 damage plus 10 damage for each Lightning Energy attached to Lanturn. Flip a coin. If tails, Lanturn does 10 damage to itself for each Lightning Energy attached to it.

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, Ion Coating. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
None of the 3,811 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
Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 875 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
