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
330 HP, and nothing in 30th Celebration goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.
A strength
Dragon Pulse hits for 240 on 2 Energy. Nothing in 30th Celebration hits harder for that price.
A strength
It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.
A strength
No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.
A strength
Mark J. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.
Keep in mind
None of the 5,818 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 an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.
