Solo-ing Machamp Boss with Dragonite Team

Has anyone ever tried to solo Machamp boss with 6 Dragonites?

Pokebattler's results look like it's possible but I also want to tap on your practical experience.

If my team is made up of the following Dragonites:
A15 Lv 35.5 DT/O
A13 Lv 35.5 DT/O
A15 Lv 35.5 DT/DC
A15 Lv 30 DT/O
A15 Lv 30 DT/H
A15 Lv 30 DT/H

They are all 88% and above except the Dragon Claw one at 66%.

Intend to put the 2 Hurricane Dragonites first in line-up. Would this team succeed against all of Machamp's moveset combinations? Thanks in advance!

For those wondering why not a psychic team, I currently only have one Espeon at Lv 25 and would prefer not spending stardust on psychics at the moment.

Ala and Esp have estimated times, according to Pokebattler, to defeat the boss in 131-135 sec, and Dnite has 161 sec.

Considering that you usually have 15-30 sec left when using mainly Ala/Esp I guess there is a big risk that DPS will be too low using only Dnites.

Just catch some high level Eevees (regardless of IV) and evolve Espeons, then let your nice Dnites finish the work. I use 2 DT/Hu at the end.

Espeons and Alakazams with a Dragonite as the last anchor mon usually gets the job done faster. Super effective psychic moves make a lot of difference vs a neutral Dragon Tail/Outrage.

Find a friend willing to go with you, but not spend a raid pass yet. You try soloing it first. If you can't make it, your friend joins on your second time so you don't waste your pass.

I've soloed a lot of Machamps with only dragonites. Sometimes only needed 2.5 dragonites DT/HU to get it done

Thank you so much, I needed to know that!

Cos my 2 DT/H Dragonites are at level 20 and I am considering whether to power them up, since they will also be good all-rounded attackers compared to the psychics. So in this case if I bring them up to 30 and based on my current team above I should have no problems solo-ing Machamp bosses too.
