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
340 HP, and nothing in Prismatic Evolutions goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.
A strength
Giga Impact hits for 250 on 1 Energy. Nothing in Prismatic Evolutions hits harder for that price.
A strength
It has an Ability, Hero's Spirit. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
Palafin ex runs it in 42 of the 42 lists we have read, seen across 38 different tournaments.
A strength
Mark H. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.
Keep in mind
It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.
Keep in mind
Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,392 tournament lists we have read, 439 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
