Is Krookodile good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?

Krookodile fails to make a mark in any format of Pokemon GO's PvP scene owing to its terrible defensive typing and low-ish defenses. Krookodile can only work when set up with a shield advantage or against creatures it has a type advantage against.

In PvE, Krookodile is mediocre as a Ground or Dark-type attacker. Even when considering budget picks, Excadrill, Swampert, Mamoswine, and others outshine it by a great margin as Ground-type attackers. The relatively easily accessible Tyranitar and Hydreigon outclass it as Dark-type attackers.
