Not even - the problem with using this guy on a mono STR team is that you probably won't be building a top-tier STR team around the Prepared for Battle link because so few good STR units have the link. STR primarily revolves around focusing on Shocking Speed and/or Fear and Faith for Ki, or just running Over in a Flash units and having Gogeta carry the team.

And while it is nice in that this Goku is somewhat self-suffecient in that he gives himself Ki through his passive, by the same token he also only gives himself a flat-ATK stat boost, which means that he's capped out at dealing only so much damage because no matter what his base ATK stat starts out at, he only gets 7000 ATK, rather than a percentage boost. He really provides no other utility - he doesn't stun, doesn't seal Super Attacks, nothing.

This is why I say I wish he was an AGL unit - so many other top-tier AGL units have Prepared for Battle that even though this Goku's use is limited, he'd still have a place on the team just for his links.
