Its attacks

Electrostep

This attack does 40 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon.

Scar Strikes

100+

If your opponent's Active Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, this attack does 100 more damage.

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.
Keep in mind
None of the 8,092 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 a Stage 2. You have to come through Luxio to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
Keep in mind
Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 8,092 tournament lists we have read, 1,893 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
Keep in mind
Mark E. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
