Why Golisopod isn't worth using in Pokemon Go

sportskeeda.com:

Pokemon Go has continued to add new creatures to the ever-growing catalog of powerful battling creatures. The newest event introduces a pair of Pokemon which follow the classic Magikarp evolution path of a harmless weakling to a nightmarish monster.

Golisopod is a dual-type Bug and Water-type Pokemon introduced in Pokemon Sun and Moon, and evolves from the cowardly Wimpod at level 30. In its original game, the Hard Scale Pokemon's tournament viability was a controversial topic. In the new mobile game, however, Golisopod is entering a very different meta with very different stats.

Unfortunately for Pokemon Go players expecting a shake-up to the meta, Golisopod isn't much to write home about. Though its stats are above mediocre, Golisopod's moves keep it out of the higher tiers of PvP and Raid lists.

The new Water/Bug heavy-hitter is working with the following stats in Great League matches:

Attack: 125

Defense: 133

HP: 107

Though it's not a glass cannon, it also lags behind in general defensive capabilities. Its stats would be viable if they were paired with a decent moveset. Unfortunately, it's working with a rough kit.

Golisopod has a wide variety of powerful moves in its original appearances in main series games. Very few of those moves made their way into the mobile game, and the moves that did, leave a lot to be desired.

Golisopod has the following move options:

Fast moves

Charge moves

Golisopod's fast moves lack a well-rounded tool. Metal Claw is weak on all fronts, making it a useless technique. Waterfall does decent STAB damage, but generates very little energy. Fury Cutter gathers a great deal of energy with each use but doesn't deal much damage.

Golisopod's charged moves are fairly cheap to use but lack significant damage.
