Kabutops quest

hello! thanks to this amazing event i managed to obtain several kabutops 80+ iv.
1) rs/wp
2) rs/se
3) ms/ap

i know it is not the best pkmn, but i was wondering, can the no 3 be a good attacker despite it has not se? ap actually is 3 bars move with 70dmg while se is 1bar move with 100.
i understand se is faster and powerful, but with the same amount of energy i get 210dmg.

against fire it could be good anyway.

opinions?

Kabutops doesn't have a strong moveset. The strongest moveset is only useful when used as a generalist, because Fury Cutter hits double not very effecitive damage into Charizards, despite charging the energy fast.

It seems just like Gyaradoses/Donphans, which also don't have a STAB quick move.

But mudshot should be super effecive, and ancient power too.
Ms also allows to obtain energy pretty fast

It generates slightly less energy than Fury Cutter, also that flying resists ground.

i caught a 96IV and evolved it and got MS/AP i need to power him up but im actually pretty excited to try him out alittle higher level. I can imagine that MS/WP would work against a Rhydon though.... Super Effective. Let me know if it is a good attacker i gotta stock up on Stardust.

for rhydon/golem i have RS/WP, that could work too... my doubts were on AP and SE... is SE that better?
i was also seeking opinion before powering up or not!

May just throw him into a battle against a lower level just to see.

I would just wait to evolve him (save your candies!) until he can get a double Rock move. Same for Omanyte.

His typing, like Omastar is very good since it can double resist fire and resist ice as well and can attack with STAB rock attacks assuming they get one eventually which is SE into both fire, ice and a few others.

I got 200+ and 300+ candies saved for both so I'd just wait...

He is not double weak to water like Golem...

I have one Kabutops that I've tried to use for prestiging occasionally, and it always seems to die as soon as it appears. I've never even managed to fire off a Stone Edge with it, so I'd be pretty iffy about Ancient Power. I really don't like that move. It's so incredibly slow, I always seem to get hit about three times when I use it.
