Is Spidops good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?

Spidops is a good pick for the Great League of Pokemon GO. It has strong moves, decent bulk, and the capacity to constantly debuff enemies with Rock Tomb and Lunge, which in turn helps the creature stay on the field for longer.

Spidops, however, doesn't do so well in the PvE arena. It should not be used as a raid attacker or as a Gym Defender in Pokemon GO.
