So I finally collected enough candy to be able to evolve my second ever and first Machamp after the Attack-change. I was lucky and got Counter/Dynamic Punch, lvl 22, 87% IV. As far as I'm informed that's his best moveset to counter Snorlax and Blissey, right?

Now I saw some videos on youtoube which got me pretty confused. In the first clip a 1600 machamp takes down a 3200 snorlax without a problem by just dodging his charge move.
In the second clip a 2800 machamp could hardly take down two lower level Snorlax at 1500 and 2400 CP even though this player dodged mostly everything. How comes? Has anyone of you experinces with machamp?

Is he able to handle two high snorlax in a row or will he fade? He's not worth powering up if he can't in my opinion since a Dragonite can handle one Snorlax easily too, so that would be redundant.

Movesets? Or do you know the exact IVs of the attackers and defenders?

Is possible that the second video, the bad one, is from those 2 or 3 days right after gen 2 release when some quick moves ware slower?

There are very few attackers I'd power up, but this is certainly one of them since Blisseys are simply everywhere now...

My guess is like the post above mentioned, maybe it was the slower quick move times.

That said, everything seems to state that Machamp should be able to clear Snorlax and Blissey faster than Dragonite. You have a very high chance to get knocked out as well after a fight, but it's worth it IMO to power up since you need all the HP you can get and it feels bad when you wasted 100 secs due to timeout.

It's possible the 2nd vid also had ZH/BS Snorlaxs too so you can see the video and what moves it had.

My machamp (C/DP) absolutely tore through a Blissey (P/HB) of the same cp yesterday. Best attacker into Blissey I've found so far.
