PvE Analysis

Grass-type is one of the most competitive types and Carnivine is around the middle of the pack, performing similar to Vileplume.
Best PvE Offensive Moveset
Vine Whip + Power WhipBest
Vine Whip + Power Whip is Carnivine’s best Grass-type moveset.
Energy Ball is a pretty terrible move.
Bite + Crunch provides a double Dark-type set. With low attack and no STAB, there are many better options.
Best PvE Defensive Moveset
Vine Whip + Power Whip or CrunchBest
Vine Whip + Power Whip remain's Carnivine's best moveset for defense.
Crunch is a 3-bar move that can provide some coverage.
Energy Ball is bad.

PvP Analysis

Vine Whip + Crunch and Power Whip
Wine Whip is more preferable for its significantly better energy generation, though Bite can catch opponents off guard with its superior damage output.
Power Whip is a very strong charge move, and benefits from STAB. Energy Ball deals the same damage, but costs 5 more energy which makes it a downgrade. Crunch is recommended for its lesser energy cost, in addition to it being the only coverage charge move available. 
Great League0 / 5
Carnivine is a mono-Grass Pokemon with average bulk and an interesting moveset with Dark-type coverage. Crunch and Bite gives it a niche as a Grass without a Dark defensive typing. However its stats, bulk, and typing are somewhat lackluster when considering the overall meta. That doesn't mean Carnivine is a bad Pokemon; it can easily dispatch most meta Water-types with ease, but without a typing advantage it falls behind other meta picks. 
Ultra League0 / 5
Carnivine reaches near the Ultra League CP cap, but it is too fragile to be worth running
Master League0 / 5
Carnivine would look like a salad when considering the stats of legendaries roaming Master League.
