Karate Chop/Dynamic Punch?
Had a few Machamps from before last moveset change that were Karate Chop/Submission. How good would KC/DP be compared to C/DP? I know that while KC has lower DPS, it seems to make up for it with higher EPS.
Is it enough to make up the difference and maybe give better dodging?

In theory KC is better than Counter
https://pokemon.gameinfo.io/en/pokemon/68-machamp has KC/DP as 97% but that doesn't look right to me.
7 Counters does 84 Base Damage and Generates 56 Energy in 6.3 Seconds
8 KC does 64 Base Damage and Generates 80 Energy in 6.4 Seconds.
20 Base Damage doesn't seem as good as 24 energy when DP has a ratio of turning 50 Energy into 90 Damage
A lot of these cases depend on how much energy you have left over at end of battle.
