Is Frosmoth good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?

No, Frosmoth is not too effective either in PvP or in PvE. It is too glassy for the limited CP formats of the GO Battle League and not strong enough for the Master League. Its base form, Snom, on the other hand, is quite a strong contender for Little Cup formats.

Frosmoth is not particularly useful in PvE either. With powerful Megas dominating the Bug-type arena and the likes of White and Black Kyurem existing as Ice-type attackers, Frosmoth will hardly, if ever, be called upon to deal either type of damage.
