I've got a Fast TM that is burning a hole in my pocket. What should I do with it?

A. Change a 2328 Confusion/Future Sight Alakazam to Psycho Cut/Future Sight
B. Change a 1588 Rock Smash/Earthquake Rhydon to Mud Slap/Earthquake. Please note that I already have a Rhydon with the same moveset.
C. Change a 1605 Bullet Punch/Dynamic Punch Machamp to Counter/Dynamic Punch. Please note that I already have a Machamp with the same moveset.
D. Do nothing and wait for something better.

If you have, let's say, 5 or less fast TMs, choose D. Otherwise it won't harm to spend it on A or C.

A if you are a frequent solo Machamp raider.
C if you often fight gyms.

A - no. Confusion does a little more damage per second than Psycho Cut. Only worth it if you like dodging.

B,C - Either is good. To fight raid bosses well, it helps to have 2-3 of the optimal counter, so more Rhydons or Machamps with the best moveset is a good thing. Which one to do depends on which raids you want to focus on.

Right now I'm putting dust into a mid level Rhydon (27 now) with ground moves, to get ready to fight Raikou.

What are the ivs of the machamp and rhydon?

If the Machamp is a level 20 raid catch, then it has only 80-82% IVs. Do more Machamp raids to try for better IVs.

The Rhydon is smaller than level 20.

I'd go with A. I prefer PC over Confusion because you almost need to dogde with Alakazam's low HP. And B + C require a lot of dust to be useful, and since dust is precious, I'd go with making the higher level mon more useful attacking (imo).

B or C, you need 6 for raid boss.
