Only Raid L4... What Pokemon needed for offense?

Under the current gym mechanism, I think I only interested to participate in L4 raid bosses like Lapras, snorlax, tyranitar.

What the most useful Pokemons I need for these bosses? I think
Machamp C CC or C DP
Exeggutor C, ZH, ES with SoB

Right? Other options?

For Snorlax, T-Rex, I would definitely use Dragonite DB, DT with H, O

For Lapras, 6 Flareons with FS/O

Basically, any heavy hitters DPS-wise that have moves that either hit neutral or SE and don't have weakness to those 3 mons' moves will suffice. High DPS is key especially soloing it

Flareon is only good if the Lapras doesn't have Hydro Pump so you need to be careful. I like to use Machamp against Lapras as he hits incredibly hard for SE and doesn't take SE from any of her moves.

if you are looking for offensive? against the tier 4 raids?

Dragonites and Tyranitars. Those are the only maxed out attackers I need for level 4 raids unless it's against a Lapras boss.

Eggs will get crushed by Lick and HS Snorlax bosses.
Machamp will get eaten up by Zen Headbut lax bosses
Those two will only do well against Lapras.

You need high resistance types and high DPS SE moves into bosses because you're not guaranteed 20 trainers will show up. You may end up with 3 or 4 trainers only and y'all better have some heavy hitters into these bosses.

I soloed a 18k-20k Raid boss yesterday with 6 Dragonites and there was plenty of time left. Most of the raids in city have plenty of players joining in.

I'm gonna call you out as BS. The issue isn't getting all 6 dragons killed from level 3 boss, it's the TIME.

I tried many times to solo a lvl 3 today. Failed every time. Got it down to 5 percent a couple of times. Definitely no time to get out and heal with time to spare.

Which boss? I tried soloing a level 3 18k Machamp today with 6 maxed out 3450+ CP dragons all with DT/O/H and DB/DC multiple times and failed. I got real close a couple of times.

6 Alakazam would have probably worked. You need dual super effective stab moves to solo level3s. Possible though.

Machamp for sure. Dragonite, Tyranitar, Vaporeon works fine. Even a Pound/Hyper beam Blissey will perform well in groups.
Pretty much anything you invested in that has a type benefit.
