Machamp C/CC vs C/DP
I have evolved 17 machops since gen 2 in hopes of getting C/DP ( driving multiple times 1.5 hours to nest and constant pinap berries) and the RNG odds have not been kind to me. I have C/CC at level 33.5 and use vs snorlax and Blissey very effectively. I know the rankings show C/DP to be the best but in real life those lucky enough to have both is the different even relevant and am I driving myself crazy for no reason when I can just invest in my C/CC. I have tried BP/DP and find it more difficult to dodge (I dodge a lot and am good) and find CC easier to charge up let it go and dodge before being hit. Any input would be greatly appreciated

I have both. DP definitely better than CC. How much better? Not much that I can tell. Is it worth stressing over to get DP? Only if you are that perfectionist OCD type player that wants only the "A" rankings in all instances. Casual players that battle like me, can hardly tell. Both will beat Blisseys and Snorlax. If seconds in efficiency float your boat, by all means keep on trying to get that moveset.... but not worth the disappointment if u roll bad MS to me. Just my two cents.
I have both, C/DP level 27 and C/CC level 28. Not great IVs, 60+% on both.
Both are great.
If you want to continue your hunt for the perfect C/DP Machamp, by all means do so. However just think of the time spent doing just that, when you could be doing something else. If it's worth it to you then yeah, no one will stop you. But if there are other things that you need to do in the game besides getting a CDP Machamp then do those things instead. :)
From my personal experience, while C/DP does have slightly more raw dps than C/CC, the difference isn't really alot. See this vid ( https://youtu.be/OFkcX3Up1XE )
Moreover, CC has a shorter cooldown than DP, thus actually less risky when dealing with defenders with multi-bar charge moves, coz u use it less often than DP, which with it's longer CD and due to higher usage, easier to get hit by opponents charged moves.
Thus dun need to fret on not getting C/DP. C/CC is absolutely fine as well and worth the powerup.
