Destroyed by C/FB Zam. Help!
I have soloed Arcanine, Machamp, Gengar, and Vaporeon. Notably missing: Alakazam. I hadn't seen one in a while since my last failure. I've powered up my team since then, and I thought I was ready. As the title suggests, I was not. I'm attaching my pokebattler results, sorted by time to win, dodge specials pro, 50% dodging. Here are specifics of some of the mons shown:
1. Gengar SC/SB 14A/15D/11S level 33.5
2. Mewtwo C/SB 14/11/10 level 31
3. Tyranitar B/C 13/13/15 level 34.5
4. Tyranitar B/SE 11/15/13 level 32
5. Scizor FC/XS 15/8/9 level 31.5
6. Tyranitar B/C 11/15/15 level 32
7. Dragonite DT/O 13/14/15 level 36
8. Alakazam PC/SB 12/13/15 level 30
9. Houndoom S/C 11/1/11 level 30
Pokebattler says I have a 48% chance of winning, but I wasn't very close at all. Also, I don't see how a victory would work out as nearly all the times to win are at or above 180s.
Is it possible to win with this team? What order/strategy would you suggest? What do I need to do? Also, I have 0 tms of any kind.
Thanks for the help!
P.S. See first comment for page 2 from pokebattler.

You don't give the attack IV of the hex Gengar, but if it is decent, I'd suggest powering that one up at least to the final breakpoint for hex. Hex builds energy faster than shadow claw, and might allow you to launch one more shadow ball. Otherwise, your top six from the pokebattler chart look pretty good; I would just maybe power up what you can among those.
I'd also try not dodging, except for dodging focus blast with the T-tars. The only exception would be if you lead off with a Gengar, swipe twice at the beginning to dodge the first two confusions.
I think you are close, and by making those top six a little stronger, it looks doable.
Why Are these tier threes so hard ? Lol kinda feels good though the battle. Finally turns Pokémon eternal safari zone into the real game. Im actually trying for neutral damage but like I cant believe the guy with gengars barely makes it. I hope its not the IVs because then it would be better to just go at the Tier 3s with neutral damage what do You Think?
