BP/DP-Machamp useful?

I just evolved only my third Machamp and I really wanted to get that C/DP moveset as counter to Blissey and Snorlax. Of course, I didn't and ended up with BP/DP (the former two have horrible movesets). Does anyone of you have experience with this moveset? Is it worth to power up (IVs are 13HP/15ATK/15DEF)? Is DP more important than C? It would take another 3 months to evolve another Machamp (unless I get a nest nearby) and I would just risk an even worse moveset. Any advice for me?

He'll do good work on a Blissey, Snorlax or Tyranitar and should help you avoid running out of time. He's worth powering up to level 30, IMO.

Yes because you didn't get Bullet Punch/Heavy Slam like me T_T

Power up that mother!

According to Pokebattler, at lvl 30 if you only dodge specials, he'd take care of a lvl 30 blissey (P/DG) in 70 seconds with only 5 hp left, that doesn't leave much room to make mistakes, if you dodge all attacks you'd take 78 seconds and be left with 28 hp, I'd honestly wait for one with C/DP, or use a different pokemon (FS/OH Flareon or SoB Exeggutor)

For Blissey at least, still great for Tyranitar. Don't you agree?

Currently I use a ZH/SB Exeggutor, which does well, but I need a second good attacker. Actually, your info doesn't sound too bad to me.

I'd wait as well...I got the same moves as you and am hoping for a way to reroll moves eventually.

Since it takes so much candies to evolve to Machamp (like you, I don't find them often) and using another 125 for a random chance seems not worth it to me...

I'd rather "pay" the 125 and reroll 1 move as long as it's always different from your existing move...I'd even use stardust honestly...

Since there are only 2 quick moves, getting a sure thing like Counter is totally worth it.

Im in the same boat as you, got my first one with a legacy moveset KC/SE and the one I evolved recently BP/DP. Depending on what cp your machamp is, it still can get the job done just not as good compared to Having double fighting type moves so it depends on what you wanna do if it would be awhile before you could evolve another one you could go for it but your better off waiting for one with a ideal moveset.
