The elusive Dynamic Punch

So even after all this time and all these raids, I still don't have a powered up Machamp. I've decided that my 87% Champ with 15 attack is good enough to bring from 20 to 30. All I had to do was tm that Heavy Slam and I got... Close Combat. My third Machamp with C/CC. I know that Dynamic Punch is better. I know that I should probably wait for another raid, but realistically, my schedule use about to tighten up a lot and I won't be able to do that many raids. I'll most likely end up saving my pass for level 4/5 raids instead.

So in reality, how "bad" is Close Combat? If I have a level 30 Machamp with 15 attack and 87% ivs, will I be satisfied?

Yes it is fine. IMO dynamic punch is much better in raids because I rarely die without firing of a last charge move vs CC I pretty much always die with close to full bar without firing off two but not worth using Tm or candy to waste for crap moves again just keep it as is.

I'm in a similar situation, both my best Machamps have CC. But IMHO CC is great, I can always get off at least one in raids vs. Tyranitar. CC has a higher DPS, but it is hard to get two off. My best Machamp is level 33 with 100% IVs, but hoping to pump him up to 39 if I ever get enough dust.

Don't try wasting your TMs to reroll either... Used one on a High IV Heavy Slam Machamp, and got Close Combat. Used another thinking, I might get DP, got Heavy Slam again. Tried a third time, back to Close Combat. It's not worth trying to reroll from Close Combat to Dynamic Punch

CC will perform close to DP in gym fights on snorlax and blissey. The difference you see in the two is on raids where you may get 3-5 DP off vs 1-2 CC. CC is still actually a higher dps move. Just comes down to up/use time

Absolutely not worth the risk. Take my 7 Charged TMs used and no Dynamic Punch to show for it. Close Combat is a perfectly fine and effective move.

Just charge TMed my 96% Machamp from CC, and it directly goes to DP!! Even though I have prepared to use more just in case! I just want my highest iv one to have the best move!
