Vespiquen is not strong in Pokemon GO, so it is less preferred in different battle scenarios. In PvP play, this entity's best moveset, battle capabilities, and STAB effects don’t help win critical matches. As it is only opted for the Great League, it should not be used in modes other than that.

One more thing to note about Pokemon Vespiqeun in GO is that even though it is made for the Great League, it is not a trustworthy partner.

According to PvPoke, Vespiquen is ranked #447 in the Great League, #511 in the Ultra League, and #553 in the Master League. This shows us the monster is out of the league and does not even rank in the top 100 meta critters list.

When using the creature in the PvE (Raids and Gyms), its Defense power becomes a big help. Its Attack stat of 149 and Stamina stat of 172 should be able to deal enough damage and withstand hits, respectively. Before Vespiquen faints, its best PvE moveset does a Total Damage Output (TDO) of 272.05 and boasts an overall Damage Per Second (DPS) of 10.23.

In a nutshell, this Pocket Monster is not a decent pick in PvE gameplay.
