Is Dragon Pulse Ampharos worth it in Pokemon GO?

Ampharos' current Charged Attack options in Pokemon GO include:

• Zap Cannon
• Focus Blast
• Thunder
• Power Gem
• Thunder Punch
• Brutal Swing
• Trailblaze
• Dragon Pulse*

This is one of the widest move pools in the game, offering a variety of coverage options. However, for most practical purposes, the creature can only make use of a couple of its available options. Unfortunately, Dragon Pulse isn't one of them.

In the PvP scene, Dragon Pulse is outclassed by moves like Thunder Punch, Brutal Swing, and even the new addition Trailblaze. These attacks have a lower energy cost and, therefore, deal more damage per energy.

In Pokemon GO's PvE scene, Ampharos' best Charged Attack options are Brutal Swing and Zap Cannon since they have a higher damage output. Although a case can be made for Mega Ampharos using Dragon Pulse, there will be a few occasions where you would benefit from Mega Evolving Ampharos to use as a Dragon-type attacker.

Considering all these factors, Dragon Pulse Ampharos is not very good in either Pokemon GO's PvP or PvE battles.

Is the Mareep Community Day in Pokemon GO worth playing from a PvP and PvE perspective?

Ampharos is not particularly good in any format of GO Battle League. It is also not that good as an Electric-type attacker. Therefore, evolving Mareep during this period or finding the perfect IV version of the critter should not be your goal.

Instead, you should focus on the other event bonuses: 1/4 Hatch Distance and extra time on Lure Modules and Incense. The former can help you clear out your Egg collection. Additionally, you can also collect a bunch of Stadust by catching as many Mareep as you can.
