Is Emboar good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?
Emboar in Pokemon GO PvP
As of this writing, this Pocket Monster is the worst contender to use in all formats of the GO Battle League. This is because it is a glass cannon, meaning it can hit multiple Pokemon types in the meta but cannot endure hits from them. If it had better Defense stat, it could have become a formidable force in the Great League, Ultra League, and Master League.
Emboar's PvP rating:
- Great League: #891
- Ultra League: #566
- Master League: #365

Emboar in Pokemon GO PvE
Emboar’s dual-type allows it to choose between two different types of moveset to use in raids and Gym battles. Thanks to Ember and Blast Burn, it performs far better as a Fire-type attacker than as a Fighting-type attacker with Low Lick and Focus Blast.
You can consider dropping Emboar in a Gym to serve its Gym-defending purpose if you want to get anything out of it. Still, it is not recognized as a great defender.
