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

Paldean Tauros (Blaze Breed) in Pokemon GO PvP

Despite its decent stats and access to a spammable Fast Attack in Double Kick, Blaze Breed Tauros is too frail and dependent on the boosts from its Charged Moves (Trailblaze and Flame Charge, the latter being the only Fore move it gets) to make an impact. The only mons it would be good against are those with 4x weakness to Fighting or Fire moves like Alolan Sandslash.

Unfortunately, this Tauros variant is unable to function properly as either a Fire-type or Fighting-type attacker due to a lack of good moves. Earthquake is its best charged move but Pokemon like Groudon, Garchomp, and Excadrill can use it better since they even get STAB on it.
