It caps at 4,149 CP with 267/229/163 base stats. It can chip in as a Bug-type attacker, though it won't top any DPS charts.

Is Mega Falinks good in Pokemon GO?

Low priority

Power up	Stardust	Candy	XL Candy
Lv 20 → 40	135,000	15	—

At Tier C (rank #22 as a Bug-type attacker) there are better options for the same Stardust. Keep a good specimen, skip the power-up unless Mega Falinks is a favourite.

Attack is its highest stat (267), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
Its moves get a damage boost in Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.
