Not battle-wise, only has 2 attacks and one is crappy gust. It has some uses though. It can come in handy if you have a spare slot on your team for the E4, the dustox of the 1st member can be a pain if it gets a double team or two in-sweet scent can cancel it out if you get the chance. Its ability can also help with finding extra combee, more honey=more trees you can slather. You can always breed with ditto. Finally, now it's in your dex you can ask in the gts for a specific gender, helping you get queeny :)
