I have powered up a couple RS/DP polywraths up to lvl 30.
They have already contributed in TTAR raids often.

I start with my machamps and end with my polys.

If machamps are hard to come by, do it.
But afterall it's your choice. If i would have that Poliwrath i would've powered it up

Certainly not worth it if you have a machamp or vaporeon lineup. I'd rather TM a high level poliwrath than power this one up.

I ran out of TMs, because I have too many Pokemon with bad movesets. I haven't been very lucky with TM drops either.
And I don't buy raid passes with real money.

He's good for T-tar raids - better than Vaporeon - so why not? Unless you have 6 Machamp, he'll be a worthwhile addition.

For fighting T-Tar, Poliwrath rocks. RT/DP is slightly better than B/DP. But against most other things, B/DP is the best moveset for total damage.

Sure, one can argue that if you just want Poliwrath for fighting T-Tar, why not optimize it. But who knows what will come down in gen3 and beyond, and if Poliwrath will get nerfed or buffed. I'd love to see a small buff to CP, putting Wrath in the lower tier of top mon instead of a broad specialist. DP is such a good charge attack, almost as good as Outrage.
