It seems like many of you are completely blind to the fact that this is a stage 2 Pokémon which has to be active and has 2 retreat. Running this as a tech will take up too much space (2-1-2 or 1-0-1 Chandelure and 1-1 Dodrio) and I know I will not hold off that many spaces for something that is not needed for a strategy to work. I can see decks based around this, and Chandelure/Kingdra would be cool, but swarming stage 2s just do not work out well without some sort of engine. Though the HP is pretty good its attack is not, and therefore keeping this active will not do you any good. Running 4 switch 4 junk arm and other stuff to keep this out of the active spot will just plain remove your deck's consistency unless it is already built for running this.
