Is Passimian good in Pokemon GO pvp?

Passimian hard counters some of the most popular critters in the current metagame of the Great League:

• Registeel
• Bastiodon
• Shadow Alolan Sandslash
• Walrein
• Umbreon
• Galarian Stunfisk
• Lanturn

If you match your Passimian with these creatures in your enemy’s team and somehow put them in a switch lock, you can decide the match's fate as Passimian will surely bait out one, if not both, shields. This creature can also chip away at the enemy’s health with Counter.
