Low IV Omastar with Rock Throw / Rock Slide - worth powering?

Title says it all; I have an Omastar with bad IV's (<50%) but the legacy moveset Rock Throw / Rock Slide that's ideal for defending. Think I should bother powering him up? Or just save the dust for better things?

Power him up, man. Thats one of the best, or the best, defensive moveset in the game, and its an absolutely unique pokemon that not much people have. If youre lucky enough to have gyms near with low CP pokemon and can gain a decent position beside the low CP of Omastar, you have a beast.

I have power to his max a legacy Omastar with rock throw/ancient power (82% IV) and I'm really happy with him.

Don't. Grass types will demolish him (double weakness). He might be decent as a Lapras counter, but you probably have Arcanine for that already.

Yea combine that with that fact he's got below average hp, and he just dies so fast.

I have an Omastar with water gun and rock slide of 1777 CP (84.4% IV, level 28.5). It's my most favourite Pokemon in the game due to its unique abilities. I am jealous on your legacy moveset.

If I were you I would power it up as much as possible but that's a personal preference. I find it amazing to have an Omastar in the gym with high CP and can't wait to power it up even more when I find more of them.

If we would be rational I'm not sure if it would be the best option to power up tho. Against Lapras it's quite strong.

I cant understand why everybody wants the same exact pokemon... What a boring players. I have these mons too, but what makes a team special is his differences from the rest, and that Omastar rocks.

If you love it power it up. It could be trade bait so definitely favorite and save that badboy. There is a limited amount of pokemon you can build to max. 10-15 is for example possibly the absolute MAX when you hit 40. Im level 33 and I have 12 pokemon over 2400 cp and 5 Pokemon powered up to max level and 250K stardust saved(which is good for mayb 2 hatched Pokemon). 15 is for a 10 gym collector a day and 10 is for those that dont battle gyms. Just be aware you can catch them all but you cant max them all lol
