Its Ability

Magma Pool

If Magcargo is your Active Pokémon and moves to the Bench, remove 1 Fire Energy card attached to Magcargo, if any, and attach it to the new Active Pokémon. (You can't use an Energy card that you used to pay for the Retreat Cost.)

Its attacks

Lava Flow

40+

You may discard any number of Energy cards attached to Magcargo when you use this attack. If you do, this attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage for each Energy card you discarded in this way.

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
It has an Ability, Magma Pool. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.
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 Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 1,533 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
