Is Coalossal good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?

Coalossal has a lot of potential to be good in the Great League of Pokemon GO. It has incredible bulk (to the level of Galarian Corsola). The moves it has to work with are also not too bad. It gets Fire Spin as its Fast Move, and has Flame Charge to boost damage every 15 turns. This is on the slow side of things, but its supreme bulk helps in this case.

However, Coalossal has two double weaknesses: Ground and Water. Both of these being very common in the Great League means the creature is alignment-dependent. If you can build your team around these weaknesses and manage your energy well, you can find success with this creature.

PvE is a different story altogether. Coalossal doesn't have much hope in this arena.
