Redemption is mineee! (Vap solo & Fast TM question)
Barely failed solo-ing a Vaporeon yesterday. Today, I got another shot at her. Hydropump was the charge move. This is my highest IV Eeveeolution to date. I got a fast TM out of it.
Gotta make some decisions w/ the fast TM:
A. Dragonite Steel Wing/Outrage 2712 CP, 84% IV. (This Dragonite is special to me because it was my very first Dragonite. Took me forever to get! I already used a charged TM to get rid of Hyperbeam. Anyways, already got two other Dragonite with DT/O @ 3171 CP 86% IV & 2801 CP 95% IV; that I'm working on getting to level 30)
B. Machamp Bullet Punch/DP 2123 CP, 91% IV. (Already got one Machamp C/DP at level 30)
C. Rhydon Rock Smash/Stone Edge 1869 CP, 91% IV (I'd have to power him up. Don't know that Rhydon is top priority at the moment)
D. Other?

If you struggle to get enough players for high level raids but are close in damage, I'd go with the Machamp. Sure you already have one with C/DP already but there's no way a single Machamp will survive for 3 minutes against Snorlax / Tyranitar / Lapras.
However if you're getting more than enough players to defeat those raids comfortably - or worse, not getting enough players to even come close to defeating the raid, then there's no need to TM the Machamp, so you may as well hold onto it for now, in case there's another Pokemon that you get that could benefit from it.
