Machamp! Finally!
Having camped out at a Machop nest (since migrated) and walked one for 60 km, I hatched another to finally reach 125 candy and become the proud owner of a Machamp. To top it off, he has Count/DP!
Thing is, his CP is only about 1700 and with the nest gone, it will take a lot more walking to earn enough candies to power him up.
Is he ready to take on Snorlax and Blissey or should I continue to rely on my generalist attackers (WG/HP Vaporeon and Conf/Solar Exeggutor, both around 2100 CP)? Any tips on attacking with Machamp (for example, about dodging)?

^ To whomever downvoted this: This comment was relevant; machamp takes super effective hits from ZH (both) and DG and psychic (blissey). With the dodge bug, blue here is implying that even if machamp dodges, with a low CP relative to the theoretical gym defenders, machamp is much more prone from dying from a dodge that doesn't register, due to super effective damage and low hp relative to the OPs generalist attackers.
Nice! here my tips, attack twice and dodge for small dmg/sec and for charge move, know u enemy charge moves first(if Hyperbeam spam DP like hell, if other moves use wisely machamp charge moves)... But After powerup my Poliwrath RS/DP to lvl30... serusly he can take blissey lvl30+... agree with 333-blue, BUG is annoying... my poliwrath vs blissey, almost take down her witout using my machamp... bam! invisible pokemon... wahaha
Yeah, the dodge bug is very annoying and I get it constantly...
Machamp just isn't tanky enough I've noticed when hit for supereffective damage so I actually like Conf/Solar Exeggutor to attack into Blissey...Will probably evolve another and see if I can get Ext/Solar...
Just dodge all charge moves and spam Confusion non stop...He can 1-on-1 high CP Blisseys solo.
That said, I'd still max a C/DP Machamp and possibly over level 30 since Blisseys and Snorlax are by far the most annoying defenders (timewise).
