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
120 HP, and nothing in POP Series 8 goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.
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
Thunder hits for 120 on 4 Energy. Nothing in POP Series 8 hits harder for that price.
A strength
It has an Ability, Intimidating Fang. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
None of the 3,826 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 +30. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,826 tournament lists we have read, 877 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
