Questions people ask

Is Gorebyss good in Pokemon GO?
Not for battle. Gorebyss has no ranked PvP, raid or Max Battle role, so keep one for the Pokedex and transfer the rest.
Should I keep or transfer Gorebyss?
Gorebyss has no job in PvP, raids, or Max Battles. Keep one for the Pokedex, and transfer the rest for candy.
Is Gorebyss a good raid attacker?
Gorebyss ranks #117 of 248 psychic attackers with 10.3 DPS. That is outside the top 15, so it is not a raid priority.
Can Gorebyss be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes. Shiny Gorebyss is available from evolution, photobomb, research, wild. A shiny is worth keeping for the collection no matter its IVs.
