Is Dedenne good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?

Dedenne in Pokemon GO PvP

Dedenne is a mediocre pick for the Great League of Pokemon GO, the only format it can meaningfully participate in. Access to Parabolic Charge makes it unique in its category of attack-weighted electric mice — another example being Morpeko. It gives Dedenne a much-needed Defense boost that helps it stick around longer.

Additionally, the buff to Thunder Shock in GBL Season 21 balance changes also adds to its viability as an off-meta threat.

Dedenne in Pokemon GO PvE

Dedenne has virtually no utility in PvE battles. It can act as a Gym Defender but even then, you will likely have so many better options in your collection that the Antenna Pokemon is unlikely to get its chance.
