For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Liepard has 2 Fast Attacks and 4 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Liepard can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Dark typing provides useful matchups against Psychic, Ghost, Dark-type threats while being weak to Fighting, Bug, Fairy types.
