Mud Shot / Power-Up Punch Poliwrath
I have a legacy Poliwrath with Mud Shot (currently around 1900) and Ice Beam. I seems as though this would work perfectly with Power-Up Punch as it's new second move, given the new stat boost associated with it. Mud Shot charges moves so quickly. However, getting this up for Ultra would mean level 39.5. Is Poliwrath worth that investment? It'd be around 200k dust.

Legacy PuP Poliwrath is good in Ultra because it can go toe to toe with Giratina and counter Giratina counters. The only time Poliwrath wont do well against Giratina is if Giratina gets an Ancient Power proc. It's worth the investment if you see a lot of Giratina. Ice Punch also lets you counter Flying types.
