First Solo Attempt at Machamp

Heartbreaking. Had 3 high 2's, and 3 mid 2's going at him. Got him down to around under 10% left. Time ran out. Tried again with a different configuration. Forgot the recommended had a 2400 Flareon in my lineup. Still got him even lower. Time ran out. Not enough time left to try again. Had to get to work. Let out a big ole F bomb in my truck, and left the parking lot.

Just need a bit more beef. One 3000 more higher 2000's would have done it. Sucks to be that close and come up short.

UPDATE: Solo'ed Machamp this morning. Lineup used in order:

Alakazam (80 IV) 2477 Dragonite (73 IV, Draco Meteor) 2870 Rayquaza (87 IV, 15 attack) 2715 Latios (89 IV) 2601 Lugia (84 IV) 2351 Lugia (100 IV) 2827

This was actually my second attempt. First attempt the Lugia's were put first and everything petered out at the end and fell short. It was a Weather Boosted attempt. Second attempt, WB went away. Not sure if that helped. But happy to get this monkey off my back.

YET ANOTHER UPDATE: Figured out my last attempt at solo wasn't Weather Boosted for Machamp, but for all of my pokemon. Today I did one where Machamp was Weather Boosted. Here was my lineup:

Alakazam (80 IV) 2477 Dragonite (96 IV) 2749 Latios (89 IV) 2703 Latios (87 IV) 2533 Lugia (84 IV) 2351 Lugia (100 IV) 2827

Beat him with a few seconds to spare. I feel this is a much better representation of an actual solo, because Machamp had the Weather Boost. Got a 93 IV Machamp out of it. I'm happy. Thanks again for all of your help.
