Would you TM a B/DP Poliwrath?

Looking to improve my rather weak fighting squad. I have a 80% IV L30 Poliwrath with Bubble and Dynamic Punch. It's an A rated moveset, but would it make sense to TM Bubble to Rock Smash instead to make her a pure fighter? The main purpose would be to use her in raids against Tyranitar, Snorlax, Lapras and possibly upcoming Blissey.

I do have a nice stash of fast TM's (charge TM's are a different story) so I could spare one. I'm just wondering if the difference is big enough and if she would see much use anyway, as there are other weaknesses to exploit on those raid mon than just fighting.

Personally I would change to Rock Smash only as a good Lapras counter, since Poliwrath resists ice and water moves so it can last longer. However its ATT stat is a bit far off from Machamp or even Hitmonlee (Heracross if you have).

Otherwise C/CC Ursarings are good too.

If you have plenty of TMs... I probably wouldn't. I think that B/DP would work just fine for the task

Wait for a better one.
80% is low

It's not amazing, but it is L30! As I am unlikely to spend dust on a Poliwrath I think this is probably about as good as it is going to get.
