Kleavor is not a decent pick for the Pokemon GO Battle League. It doesn’t perform well in Great, Ultra, and Master League.

Below are the Kleavor’s ranking according to PvPoke:

• Great League: #619
• Ultra League: #457
• Master League: #222

This data shows that Kleavor isn’t a remarkable fighter in PvP play. However, its PvE moveset, Quick Attack and Rock Slide, is quite helpful in scenarios like Raids and Gyms. It can deal 14.95 damage per second (DPS) and boasts 366.62 total damage output (TDO). You can inflict more damage with Rock Slide since it can benefit from the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) effect.
