This is a card waiting for another card to come along and make it awesome. Let's compare this with the other card that let's you search out two Pokemon, namely the new Emolga. For one energy, Emolga let's you find any two Basic Pokemon and put them on your Bench. By contrast, Rufflet let's you find two Pokemon with Fighting resistance and put them into your Hand.
So there the main reason to go with Rufflet over Emolga is if you want a non-Basic Pokemon with Fighting resistance or if you want the Pokemon in your Hand and not your Bench. The second reason is main reason Rufflet sees play in Ho-oh EX decks where the idea is to use Rufflet to get Ho-oh into your hand and then discard it the next turn. As for the first, there really isn't any non-Basic with Fighting resistance worth playing in the format but I am on the lookout for one and if and when it comes out, Rufflet will fly.

I love this card.
It comes in handy when I play ho oh but is just a free prize when catchered.
It really helps get tornadus set up so I can prepare ho oh. I think it deserves a 5/10 in playability
and a 6/10 in art.
