Is Blacephalon good in Pokemon GO PvP?

Blachepalon, also known as the Fireworks Pokemon, is completely useless in the Great League.

When it comes to landing damage on league opponents, it is able to do that. But, it is a glass cannon when it comes to withstanding damage.

Talking about Blacephalon in the Ultra League, it performs decently when used as a closer. Still, there are multiple vulnerabilities that opposing trainers can exploit.

One such is that the animation of Pokemon GO Blacephalon Charged Attacks is very long and you may feel stuck at launching these moves.

Although Blacephalon has a good moveset in the Master League, it is not able to work as other top meta Pokemon, such as White Kyurem and Origin Forme Dialga.
