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
130 HP. Only 5 cards in HeartGold SoulSilver carry more.
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
Elemental Blast hits for 200 on 3 Energy. Nothing in HeartGold SoulSilver hits harder for that price.
A strength
It has an Ability, Ocean Grow. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.
Keep in mind
None of the 9,687 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 Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 9,687 tournament lists we have read, 873 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
