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

Paldean Tauros (Combat Breed) in Pokemon GO PvP

As a Fighting-type Pokemon, access to the fast attack Double Kick makes Paldean Tauros (Combat Breed) a great answer to common threats like Diggersby in the Great League and Lickilicky in the Ultra League. It can even force shield usage by threatening with the Charged Move Close Combat.

Unfortunately, this Tauros form struggles to deal with Pokemon that resist Fighting-type attacks like Skeledirge, Annihilape (Shadow), and Giratina (Altered). As a matter of fact, Annihilape remains a more consistent attacker, while Tauros needs to play around the stat drops caused by Close Combat.

Paldean Tauros (Combat Breed) in Pokemon GO PvE

This Tauros form can be a decent choice for the PvE meta, owing to its well-rounded stats and hard-hitting Fast and Charged moves. However, it struggles against Poison, Psychic, and Fairy types, with the last two even hitting it back super effectively in return.
