Is Pokemon GO Dragalge good in PvP and PvE?
Dragalge in Pokemon GO PvP
The Ultra League is the only format of the GO Battle League where Dragalge can showcase its true strength. Apart from this one, the creature cannot perform effectively because its moveset does not complement its stat distribution and types.
There are multiple Dragon-type contenders in PvP battles sporting better stat spread and moves than Dragalge. Therefore, it is easily outperformed and overshadowed by them, making it a bad choice for higher leagues.

Dragalge in Pokemon GO PvE
Dragalge can only deal super-effective damage to Dragon-type creatures with its best moveset. On the flip side, it also takes super-effective damage from the same types. Its Attack and Stamina stat are not remarkable enough to challenge powerful raid bosses and win against them.
The only scenario where you can get suitable value out of Dragalge is when it faces Grass-type bosses. The reason is that the creature's Poison-type moveset dishes out massive damage to them and double resists their STAB attacks.
Dragalge has a variety of resistances, but it lacks bulkiness. Therefore, it gets easily knocked out of a defending position from Gyms.
