an interesting card may work well with ghetis.
hp: decent
weakness: horrible
retreat cost: meh searchable by heavy ball
attack: meh
ability: Good
 
Responsible for more wasted hours of theorymon than any other card from Boundaries Crossed.

6/10
 
Another one of the "fun to try, but frustrating to play" cards. Hopefully something comes along (Ghetsis?) that makes this card more playable. Right now, it's ridiculously clunky.

10/10 for potential
5/10 for playability
 
The problem is that Stoutland can be taken out of the active spot from Catcher. In the current format, 4/10, but Ghetsis might bring some life into it.
 
Too bad he has to be active to use the ability. That leaves him as a punching bag till he knocked out and he does damage himself when attacking. You're likely to stall supporters for a bit but it won't be long till either a catcher or a KO happens.
 
Perhaps when comboed with Ghetsis, we could have somewhat of a Truth deck on our hands again. The biggest advantage this would have OVER Truth is allowing you to use Items, while your opponent can't, or at least won't have as wide a range of them or chance of having any. Toss in Reuniclus to move the damage off (praying they don't top deck a Catcher), and use Hammers to make sure they can't charge up a big attacker and 1-shot you.

Hard to rate yet, but it has potential.
 
I'd rather lock Items than Supporters, so Gothitelle is a lot better imo.

Ability can be avoided by the opponent by just catchering something else active.

Stoutland's attack isn't really impressive.

Weakness and retreat costs are horrible.

Could be interesting to build some pseudo-lock fun-deck with Ghetsis and Stoutland.

5/10
