Used a fast TM on Ampharos
I know many people will think it's stupid but he is one of my favorites and I could not stand VS to save my life. Now he is 93% with CB/ZC and I love using him! Maybe not the most efficient but way cooler than Jolteon :)

I think folks get very salty about what is good advice versus an investment that makes folks happy.
While if you brought this to me as a ""should I power this up" question I'd likely say no depending on the criteria.
For whatever reason that correct stance gets skewed into hate for any move outside of the current meta. I don't adivise to invest in sub par mins/moves because it's bad advice. And this site is built on good advice.
But we all play for personal enjoyment. If that trumps logical moves then carry on. I do it too. We play this for fun. If you're having fun you're winning.
I've made a few against the grain moves myself. I cannot properly justify them but I do not try to make these bad moves justified by giving other trainers bad advice on similar mons.
