Is Skeledirge Worth It in Pokemon GO?

Skeledirge boasts a solid Fire/Ghost typing, making it useful in both PvP and PvE battles. With access to Blast Burn, Torch Song, and Shadow Ball, it can serve as a strong attacker. However, its moderate speed and bulky stats make it more suited for Great and Ultra League rather than Master League.
