Is Garganacl good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?
Garganacl has decent performance in both PvP and PvE but it doesn't stand out. In PvP, Garganacl has strong attacks and excellent defensive stats going for it. However its mono-Rock-typing leaves it vulnerable to too many common types (Fighting, Water, Grass, Ground). This means Garaganacl won't be able to make the most out of its bulk.
This bulk is much more useful as a Gym Defender in Pokemon GO.
