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 Surging Sparks goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.
A strength
Great Swing hits for 280 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Surging Sparks hits harder for that price.
A strength
It has an Ability, Born to Slack. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
Slaking ex runs it in 10 of the 10 lists we have read, seen across 10 different tournaments.
A strength
Mark H. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.
Keep in mind
Retreat cost 4. 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
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
It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Vigoroth to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
Keep in mind
Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 10,377 tournament lists we have read, 2,449 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
