Why would Autoselect choose CC Machamps over DP Machamps against a Ttar raid boss?

Two other players and I just trioed a Ttar raid boss. We are level 36, 34 and 32, so nothing high and mighty. However, we all had good quality Machamps. We started the raid battle with about 8 to 10 minutes left on the clock and came close to winning the first time. We started the second battle with about 2 minutes left on the clock and this time won. I noticed that, both times, Autoselect put only my CC Machamps in my line-up. Both times I swapped out the last three of them for DP Machamps with considerably higher CP. After the successful battle, one of the other players said that in the second round he had used his DP rather than CC Machamps and that might have been the reason for our win. I concurred with that comment. But what is it about Autoselect that would cause it to choose lower CP Machamps with CC over higher CP Machamps with DP? Makes no sense to me.

It consistently picks my level 30 ZH/SoB Exeggutor over my level 36.5 C/SoB Exeggutor. It also picked my level 33 B/SE Trex over my level 33 B/C Trex vs. Alakazaam. When the latter has better IVs. I don't get it either.

What's more confusing for me is that it chose a C/CC machamp (2457CP, 15/15/12 Level 30) over a C/DP (2757CP, 15/14/15 Level 37)...I was like...WTF?

In the end I actually preferred it that way since my worst Machamp (this CC one) took the first two 'quick hits', so the later Machamps don't need to deal with them. Still, I don't see even with this small setback, how the C/DP fails to come first.

You and I both experienced the same thing. Autoselect chose lower CP Machamps with CC over higher CP Machamps with DP, only in my case I had so many CC Machamps that the DP Machamps were excluded entirely. I was OK with the DP ones being at the end of the line-up, but not omitted entirely. I can see the particular merit of using a two bar charge move, rather than a one bar charge move, at the end of the line-up.

I think it prefers charge moves with higher damage number, disirregardless of the energy cost or duration of the moves. It understands to some degree type advantages, but of course doesn't follow Gamepress's rankings.

'Regardless' is a word.
'Irregardless' is not a word.
'Disirregardless' is on a whole new level.

That is a triple negation in a single word.

Why does autoselect chose a 2900 dragon over a 3500 one?
