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
100 HP. Only 2 cards in POP Series 4 carry more.
A strength
Tail Rap hits for 50 on 3 Energy. Nothing in POP Series 4 hits harder for that price.
A strength
It has an Ability, Energy Trans. 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 8,705 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 Grovyle to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
Keep in mind
Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 8,705 tournament lists we have read, 1,929 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
