Is Togedemaru good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?

Togedemaru in Pokemon GO PvP

Togedemaru is a moderately powerful pick in the open Great League of Pokemon GO. This is owing to its balanced stat spread. While the creature remains shy of the meta in the Great League, it is a top-tier pick in limited formats like the Electric Cup and Summer Cup.

Togedemaru in Pokemon GO PvE

Togedemaru is not going to win any awards as a PvE attacker. Despite having excellent Electric-type moves, it simply doesn't have the offensive output to keep up with the powerful Shadow and Legendary critters out there.

That said, Togedemaru can be a decent Gym Defender in Pokmeon GO. It has Steel as one of its typing — one of the best defensive types in the game. Although this leaves the creature with a 256% weakness to Ground, the fact that it resists two-thirds of all elemental types more than makes up for this weakness.
