Is Lopunny good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?

Lopunny in Pokemon GO PvP

Lopunny lacks the battle power to help you secure wins in the GO Battle League. This means it has no viability in the Great League, Ultra League, Master League, and the Little Holiday Cup.

Lopunny in Pokemon GO PvE

Being a Normal-type Pokemon with nothing to offer in Raids and Gym Defense, Lopunny won't be helpful here. It is a useless attempt to place this creature in a Gym to defend it. On top of this, it is not even a decent raid attacker.
