I'll let the rest of QC weigh in on this, but from my point of view, running near max HP on Accelgor just seems like a bad idea.
The damage you do isn't really the point. The point is Rapid Spin fails after you use it, and then you can bring in something like Raikou / Zapdos into Blastoise or a Psychic type into Hitmontop to send them out.

(to be clear: don't invest in HP to use final gambit - just run the attack to stop rapid spin for a turn)
