Is Blast Burn Typhlosion good in Pokemon GO Battle League?

Blast Burn is a Fire-type Charged Attack that deals 110 base damage for 50 energy. Typhlosion's other Fire-type Charged Attacks are Fire Blast (which deals 140 damage for 80 energy) and Overheat (which deals 130 damage for 55 energy).

According to PvPoke simulations, Shadow Typhlosion (which is the preferred version of the critter) performs best in Pokemon GO's Great League and Ultra League when it is set up with a shield advantage. In this case, both Blast Burn and Overheat have similarly positive results.

However, under real-world conditions, the former is a more reliable move since the latter debuffs your Attack by two stages every time you use it. Therefore, Typhlosion with Blast Burn is a creature worth grinding for if you plan on using it in Pokemon GO PvP.
