Currently enjoying this in decks with Mewtwo and even Entei ex. It's a good card...but just brought into a format with lots of stadium wars.
 
7/10

It's hard to rate stadiums, but the ability can be usefull. I like that it's not limited to team plasma pokemon. You can attach a plasma energy to anything and it will have no weakness. At the very worst, it can act as a counter stadium to Virbank city gym.
 
As said, it is an effective counter stadium. Most of the time when something like Virbank is played they would usually get rid of their extras, not expecting a different stadium to come into play. Then, unless they run something like Dowsing Machine, they wont be able to replay Virbank Gym. This is a good play in theory but you know...

Once future Plasma sets are released, this card may find some use. One of my comic store buddies talks about using it with Porygon-Z Plasma.

6/10 for now. It could get better. We'll see.
 
Right now I'd say this card isn't all that useful, but that's because many decks don't use Plasma Energy. I like what this card does, I just question how effective it will be when the format is becoming more and more driven by OHKO's, regardless of weakness.

I can't predict how the format will shape up after Plasma Freeze, so for now I give this card a 5/10. The effect isn't bad, it just doesn't find much room in this current format.
