Is Shadow Regice good in Pokemon GO PvE?

PvE battles offer two different gameplay modes in the mobile game. Below is the illustration of whether Shadow Regice is any good to utilize in them:

• Raids: Pokemon GO Shadow Regice is not good for battles since it is a single-type pocket monster and lacks strong Ice-type moves. This drawback makes this Shadow critter a weak force for raids hosted in various weather conditions.
• Gym Defense: A Legendary Pokemon is ineligible to protect Gyms. So, it is of no use.
