Is the Machop Community Day Classic in Pokemon GO worth playing?

Machop Community Day Classic is crucial for the following reasons:

• For PvE players, it's the perfect opportunity to grind out the Candy and Candy XL required to power up and unlock moves on their Gigantamax Machamp, which releases on May 25, 2025.
• PvP players can spend the event hunting for a high-rank IV of Machop, which can be useful in the Great League and Ultra League. While Shadow Machamp is way better, the regular version can also be quite useful.
