Is Ceruledge good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?

When it comes to PvP battles in Niantic's AR-based game, Ceruledge is a suboptimal pick. In the Great League and Ultra League formats of GO Battle League, it has positive matchups against the present meta only when it has two shields to play with. Ceruledge also doesn't have any non-STAB coverage moves, making it extremely alignment-dependent and volatile.

In PvE battles, Ceruledge can dish out significant damage, which makes it a respectable defender and attacker. Once again, it is far from the best Gym Attacker or Defender or Fire or Ghost-type raid attacker.
