Should I go for a karate chop/dynamic punch machamp?

I have a machamp with karate chop/stone edge, and with karate chop/dynamic punch being it's new best moveset I'm wondering if it's worth the TMs to go for that instead. I already have one with counter/dynamic punch, so would it really be worth it?

Its a win win. You will either get CC or DP so go for it unless the IVs are crap.

Not quite. Stone Edge is a legacy move, so using a charge TM can also potentially result in Heavy Slam.

It's within my understanding that legacy moves are unobtainable now, no matter the mon's previous moves or date obtained

That's true. OP says that their Machamp has Stone Edge at the moment, so re-rolling the charge move potentially has three outcomes from the current pool: Dynamic Punch, Close Combat, or Heavy Slam.

I have multiple charge TMs, so my question is should I keep using them until I get dynamic punch. Is the moveset really that good?

I also am in a similar position with KC/Sub 96% level 20 but I have many options Machamps so it is not pressing and I don't want to spend the dust and potential multiple TM to get DP ( I don't want CC on it). It does seem like it would be a fun and powerful move though.

I'm considering going after one too, but it's really only marginally better than C/DP (by like 1% or something)
