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, Rocket Brain. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
Team Rocket's Nidoking ex runs it in 2 of the 24 lists we have read, seen across 2 different tournaments.
A strength
Mark I. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.
Keep in mind
It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Team Rocket's Dottler to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
Keep in mind
Weakness Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,384 tournament lists we have read, 3,344 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
