Solo arcane with WC
It was my first solo L3 boss. All 3 attempts failed with time out. The last attempt line up was as follows with a few seconds to rejoin, but time's up when actual rejoin.
L40 dragonite dt,hu
L38.5 dragonite dt,o
L36.5 dragonite dt, dp
L33 dragonite dt, o
L30 tyranitar b,c
L30 tyranitar b,c
Just wonder how to change the lineup resource efficiently to take down such arcanine boss. Thanks.

I honestly am still not able to solo any 3 stars. I have only 1 dragonite 91% with about 2500cp so im not the best to advise you. Maybe like a few others have mentioned start off with your best dps mons v arcanine followed by golem rhydons. Though i dont know if the high lvl dragonites out dps golem and rhydon v arcanine or not .. in which case you might be better off with 2 glass cannons followed by the dragonites. Might be worth trying some simulations
Vaporeons still deal high damage, and Wild Charge isn't too fast. Even if you do get hit for full damage, Vaporeons are tanky enough that they can make use of the energy gain.
People bring Gengars to solo Alakazam despite it fainting incredibly quickly purely because it deals a ton of damage, or Golems to Articuno raids for the same reason. The damage that they deal outweighs the damage they take.
Your issue is that you don't have enough damage because you're not using Pokemon with type advantage. Bringing 6 Dragonites is no longer the most DPS in every battle.
I'd swap out the Tyranitars for Rock Throw Golems and/or Vaporeons. Mud Slap is a mediocre move so I don't suggest bringing Rhydons despite them resisting and also being super effective, unless you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel, because your issue is lack of damage, not surviving long enough.
I'd switch out the DT/DP and DT/H Dragonites over the ones with Outrage for Vaporeons / Golems too. Outrage does more DPS than either of those moves and DT reaches a damage breakpoint at level 33 if your attack IV is 12.
Dragonite's Dragon Tail has a higher true DPS value than a Rhydon's Mud Slap increased by 1.4, despite me saying how important it is to have type advantage, a Pokemon's move is also important too.
