What do I do with my L20 96% Machamp (15A/15HP) that evolved with Counter/Close Combat? I do not want to use my TM on it. Should I power it up?

What level are you? How many machamps do you have?

Depends what's more valuable to you, TMs or Stardust. Machamp is hands down one of the best attackers out there. It's not worth a power-up if you don't TM it, though.

Don’t TM, only power up If you are flush on dust. Try catching weather boosted fighters.

A Machamp with C/CC is the third or fourth best fighting mon in the game, behind C/DP Machamp, C/DP Hariyama, and maybe C/FB Blaziken. However, it is WAY behind C/DP Machamp and Hariyama.

I hate to advise not doing anything with a 96% double fighting Machamp, but Machamps are readily available from raids, and Hariyamas are basically farmable. I've already got three C/DP Haris, and gen 3 has only been out for a few weeks. So, sadly, I don't see much of a place for C/CC Machamp right now.

Still, it's a 96% Machamp, and moves might be rebalanced in the future. DP is currently so far superior to CC that it's hard to believe that won't change at some point. I'd hang onto it if you can.

If you have already powered up one or two Machamp with Counter/Dynamic Punch, you could power up this one with Counter/Close Combat as a backup when there are a lot of fighting weak defenders in a gym or for use against Tyranitar. It is not the best moveset, but still good.

If you don't have any Machamp powered up, well it is certainly better than nothing.

If you already have a full team of Machamps powered up, then probably not unless you have a lot of stardust stockpiled that you really want to use.

Of course you should also look for high level cloudy weather boosted Machops and Machokes, or be doing Machamp raids looking for high IVs with Dynamic Punch.
