Steelix - Crunch v Heavy Slam

I have a Steelix with Iron Tail and Crunch - would this moveset now rank above IT/HS as it has better type coverage, which now matters more? Also being a 3-bar move? I'm tempted to power this guy up but don't want it to be a waste of either the candies or a Charged TM, neither of which I'm finding easy to come by.

Power him up for what purpose? How is your gym scene?

It is okay, but the problem is Iron Tail. Use a fast TM if you want a good defender and you have some.

Steelix is too slow to be an attacker in general... The Crunch mixed with being steel type would make fighting psychics way easier. BUT he is such a slow attacker and his attack stat isn't worth it to make him one either.

I am so glad I didn't power up any of my Steelix before the gym rework. Total waste of dust no matter the moves.

Steelix is a good defender so I do not understand the other comments about not powering him/her.
