My Machamp TM Nightmare Continues

So I had this disappointing 96% L30 Machamp with BP/HS sitting around. Finally, TMs arrived to save the day, and I could get my coveted C/DP move set!

First attempt: Got C/CC. Not terrible, but I really wanted to try for DP, so I waited until I got two more Charged TMs.

Second attempt: HS then CC. Dammit! Now I'm into wasteful territory without much to show for it. I wasn't going to try again because life has told me that gambling is a bad proposition for me, but then I got TWO more Charged TMs and didn't have anything immediate to use them on. So I decided to go for it again.

Third attempt: HS again! I couldn't believe it. So in my irritated haste to apply the second TM, I accidentally scrolled down too far and applied it to my OTHER C/CC Machamp (that has the same name) and got...HS again on it TOO!

Now I've got two high-level Machamp, both with C/HS, and no Charged TMs to fix either of them in a meta where I need good Machamp to get more TMs.

AARRGGGHHH!

Someone please tell me a worse story so I can feel better about this mess.

Trainer Tips's 100 IV Alakazam rotating between Shadow Ball and Focus Blast multiple times until he finally hit Futuresight

Yeah but at least he got it in the end before running out of TMs. I'd imagine that feels better psychologically.

OP, FYI trainertips got the move on his 6th TM.

Holy crap that's awful.

But I'm going to be honest I was laughing by the end.

Surprisingly, that made me feel better. I need to laugh about it. That final straw is SUCH a thing I would do.

Saw trntips video just like that, took 6 tms for Nick to get future sight kazam. From that I learned not to fix something good. Got c/cc, but leave it as it is, since tms are so hard to get for me. Better evo more with hs moveset than tm it. Had champ with hs then tm it, luckily got dp on machamp. C/cc is just good.

If/when I get this sinkhole fixed, if I get CC again I'm stopping forever.

I hate the RNG part of TMs. They really should code it that it cycles through all the movesets, kind of like working your way progressively through a class at school.

Same here with Flareon. Which is a worse story than yours because what kinda dumdass burns TMs on a Flareon right?

Thank God I only got fast TMs so far. No chance of messing things up ;)

Not true. I went to change ember to fire spin, after I did that I went to click on him to change his name. Wasn't paying attention and never clicked out of the TM screen or whatever and changed it back to ember...

Yeah, I got 4 with CC and only 1 DP so not planning to change them yet due to this issue...

Also one reason why I probably Fast TMed a BP/DP even though it was level 20 and "only" 12 Att and 91%. TMs just don't drop anymore for me and can't see myself using them on the low chance I actually get the correct move...(looking at my 3 Espeons without Future Sight).

At least with candy and dust, you can grind and walk to replenish it. TMs and TM drops (seeing someone took 43 raids to get 1) is just too RNG to gamble for me at the moment...

They should really have a "real" anniversary box with 1 Fast TM, 1 Charge TM, maybe limit 2 purchases to prevent abuse and would "thank" people to at least fix their favorites since 43 raids (many level 3 and 4s) is just a bit sick.

op should Just settle with cc if you get another roll.
I have both at level 30 and dp is not much better in raid. It tends to get hit by charge move during its dp cool down. CC tends to last longer. My love go to CC > DP

It's not worth TMing a mon with a servicable charge move, unless you hit the TM lottery. I have so many mon with terrible move sets that I won't get to the middle-of-the-road ones for quite some time.

Man sorry.

I know this isn't a nice comment really, but C/CC is more than "not terrible". It is a great moveset. Just happens that C/DP is a bit better. I suggest you make it your goal to have all C/CC AND C/DP Machamps.

You're right, of course. Now I just need to get two more TMs and let the odds run their course. I'm done with this dreadful experiment.

BAWWW HHAHAHAHAHAA!!!

This is why once you have CC you should have stopped. No need to gamble and get HS just for the chance for a little more DPS.

You're not making me feel better!

(But you also aren't wrong.)

Same situation here, except mine was 100% and started out with C/HS. Before TM's, I was always super bummed about this move set and considered getting rid of him.

One Charge TM later, he is C/CC. That is where I stopped, I have been powering him up, he's now at CP 2600. Weird how I have 4 Machamps level 30 or above and none of them have DP. Oh well ... I have two with C/CC, one with C/Submission and one with C/Cross Chop.

Good, stay there and don't risk adding your tears to my overflowing cauldron of grief.

Since you want the Machamp so bad, I would suggest using daily free raid pass on Machamp raids when possible and wait to you catch one with DP and decent IV. Then use fast TM if needed.
