Is Passimian good in Pokemon GO PvP?
Passimian is a single-type critter and has to rely heavily on its average damage-dealing Charged Moves for PvP battles. Its stat spread is more focused on Attack and Stamina, which is impressive, but it is a lackluster defensive contender.
Nonetheless, the creature is capable of inflicting good Fast Moves damage. You may have to carefully utilize your Shields when using it. Otherwise, you are certain to lose important fights.
According to PvPoke, Passimian ranks at #264 in the Great League, #353 in the Ultra League, and #179 in the Master League. This means Pokemon GO Passimian is not good in the GO Battle League.
Is Passimian good in Pokemon GO PvE?
All Pokemon GO Passimian will be strong against Dark, Rock, Steel, Normal, and Ice-type Pokemon. This is because these monsters are weak against Fighting-type moves, and Passimian can brilliantly boast different sets of attacks.
However, if Passimian is put in an uncomfortable battle situation, where it has a type disadvantage, then it becomes completely ineffective. Its best moveset has a DPS and TDO of 13.63 and 397.14, without the activation of the STAB effect.
So, this is not enough for battlers to call Passimian a good pick in Pokemon GO.
