Is Boltund good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?

No, Boltund has no utility in either trainer battles or Gyms and raids. It is a mono-Electric-type creature with neither good stats nor moves. It is highly attack-weighted, which leaves it vulnerable to incoming damage. Its lack of fast-charging Fast Moves and high-DPE STAB attacks means you cannot take advantage of the critter's offensive prowess.

If you must use a mono-Electric-type creature in PvP, Bellibolt is the way to go. When it comes to glassy mono-Electric-types, Shadow Electivire is the go-to pick. In PvE, Boltund is outclassed by several powerful Shadow, Legendary, and Mega Pokemon.
