Is Dubwool good in Pokemon GO PvE?

Would you really want a sheep to do the job of a guard dog? If not, that would be a grave mistake, as you should never doubt Dubwool in this game. Given its Normal elemental typing, this entity only has one weakness — Fighting-type creatures. While it is true that a lot of people like to hit Gyms with Machamp and Lucario, you can still expect Dubwool to stand its ground.

However, it is always better to keep other critters that have better elemental typings on Gym defense.

Double Kick is the key to this Pocket Monster’s success in Pokemon GO's Battle League. This Fast move, with its fast energy generation, allows Dubwool to reach its Charged moves quickly.

Body Slam is an excellent way to put pressure on enemies. As a three-bar move, you can use it as a means to bait your opponent’s shields. You can play mind games with your foes and make them think that you will nuke them with Wild Charge but use Body Slam instead.

In the Ultra League, you might run into a lot of Fighting-type counters. As a result, you may have problems making this Pokemon viable in this format of the GO Battle League. However, Dubwool can still be a good answer to the Giratinas that plague this game's Ultra League.

This creature's stats at level 50 will not be enough for it to be usable in the Master League. While you can still deploy it in that segment, you will almost always lose your games with this critter in your roster.
