A strength
It has an Ability, Power Saver. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex runs it in 78 of the 78 lists we have read, seen across 68 different tournaments.
A strength
It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.
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
Weakness Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,325 tournament lists we have read, 3,308 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
