Its Ability

Voltaic Floatボルトフロート

If this Pokémon has any Energy attached, it has no Retreat Cost.このポケモンにエネルギーがついているなら、このポケモンのにげるためのエネルギーは、すべてなくなる。

Its attacks

Multishot Lightningいなずまれんだん

120

This attack also does 90 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)ダメカンがのっている相手のベンチポケモン1匹にも、90ダメージ。［ベンチは弱点・抵抗力を計算しない。］

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, Voltaic Float. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.
Keep in mind
None of the 5,392 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 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 Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,392 tournament lists we have read, 439 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
Keep in mind
Mark G. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
