Probably not. I dont think your stuff is built up enough. I could be wrong. Look at my lineup and then look at the other picture that has my odds. Try entering your stuff into pokebattler and it will let you know when you are ready to solo it.

With the right weather boost, possibly on a windy day, and the right moves on the machamp you might be able to.

If it's cloudy that'll make it more difficult to do the raid. If it's got Close Combat the raid should still be doable, as Close Combat is not a difficult moveset.

You'll have the most difficulty against Heavy Slam though, as you don't have any tanks such as Lugia or Ho-oh to add some consistent damage, plus you have a Gengar which is not very useful versus Heavy Slam, so you could fail the raid if you miss too many dodges or you get unlucky and the boss decides to use it's move as soon as possible.

What order are you listing IVs in? The Alakazam seems to be S/A/D but I couldn't find a 2213 Gengar with the IVs you listed, nor the Eevee.

Reason I ask is because attack IV and the level of the Pokemon is important for finding breakpoints and power up costs.

Exeggutor is fine as long as SB means Solar Beam and not Seed Bomb. Extrasensory is slightly better than Zen Headbutt because it gives more energy per use but it's not necessary if you lack TMs or just want to keep a legacy Exeggutor.

Your second Exeggutor would need to be powered to level 30 for it's quick move to go up in damage though. I think it would be better to first evolve the Abra and see what move it gets.

Dragonite is great. Doesn't need powering any further as it's already crossed a Dragon Tail breakpoint and doesn't hit the next until level 37.5 which is unnecessary.

The Alakazam, future Espeon, and Dragonite are good. If your main purpose is raids, you want confusion on the Espeon, so TM it if you get ZH.

The Gengar and ZH/SoB Eggy will carry their weight, but just barely.

The easiest path to soloing Machamp is front-loading with psychic types that have confusion, so evolving the Abra into another C/FS Alakazam would be helpful, as would another Espeon or two.

A sunny day will give your ZH/SoB Egg a little more punch.

I'd say you have a shot against a Machamp with close combat. You're probably not quite there for the other movesets.
