I have one with same moves, and I'm thinking of powering it up for defence, probably after I see what the gym rework is all about. Think of all the fighting type counters that will be surprised with a steel move. If the CP gym hierarchy stays in place, yours will be closer to the top than mine anyway, I don't get lucky with perfect IV.

Perfect Machamp with Counter/Heavy Slam, Worth the dust?
As the title says, I managed to get a perfect machamp but I was wondering if anyone knows its worth maxing out despite heavy slam, it is super effective against tyranitar, but its not as good as CC, thoughts?

As a general rule, moveset is more important than IV for an attacker. For example, in simulation a 0% IV C/DP tremendously outperforms a 100% IV C/HS against Tyranitar -- the 0% DP is much faster and has far better health. If you want to collect 100% mons, power up the 100%. If you want good battle results, power up one with a good moveset.
