Is Hisuian Samurott any good in Pokemon Go?

Considering Hisuian Samurott has just been introduced, the Pokemon does not yet have any PvP statistics yet. The ‘mon’s Dark-typing makes it vulnerable to Fighting and Fairy moves, but it has viable Fast Moves.

However, Hisuian Samurott’s Charged Moves aren’t too impressive, which could mean it won’t fare well in the Ultra League. Therefore, Pokemon Go players may want to choose its original form over its Hisuian counterpart.
