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, X-Boot. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
Steven's Metagross ex runs it in 115 of the 115 lists we have read, seen across 103 different tournaments.
A strength
Mark I. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.
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
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 Steven's Metang 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 10,381 tournament lists we have read, 2,261 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
