Is Paldean Tauros (Aqua Breed) good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?

Paldean Tauros (Aqua Breed) in Pokemon GO PvP

Aqua Breed is, unfortunately, not a very good Water-type or Fighting-type Attacker. While its spammable Fast Attack Double Kick lets it generate meter quickly, its charged attacks (Aqua Jet and Trailblaze) aren't powerful enough to make an impact.

The water bull is best used to bait an opponent into using a shield, as Aqua Jet and Trailblaze hit a lot of mons with neutral damage except for Grass- and Dragon-types. However, its inflexibility makes it not worth dedicating a slot for it on a team.

Paldean Tauros (Aqua Breed) in Pokemon GO PvE

Aqua Breed is among the stronger users of Aqua Jet thanks to its decent stats and the ability to generate meter quickly with Double Kick. However, it lacks serious damage output and is better off using the Charged Attack Earthquake instead.
