This team can beat a Close Combat Hitmonchan with only 1-2 sec left.
Don’t dodge! Tried 2-3 times but got hit anyway. Timing out is the big problem, not fainting.
If you got hit anyway you probably need to work on your dodge timing. I would assume Machamp rules apply where Alakazam and Espeon need to dodge enough to use Future Sight at least twice.
I remember trying an Ice Punch Hitmonchan solo during the fighting event and failing. Would like to take another swing at it and maybe Hitmonlee as well, assuming I can pull away from the T5 raids long enough to do so.
It just means you can't mash the screen for attacking. Controlled taps are better for any slower fast move like Counter, Fire Spin, Confusion etc. Play enough and you'll develop a feel for when you can safely start a fast move and when you need to wait a tiny bit to see if the boss did a fast move or a charge you need to dodge.
Breakpoints being an exception, two mons of the same CP with different IV will generally speaking perform the same. CP is a function of stats with IV taken into account so between two members of the same species, it's a pretty good indicator of their relative strength. A 2500 CP Espeon is a 2500 CP Espeon, whether it's a 15/0/0 at level 34 or a 15/10/10 at level 30.
OPs team is marginal because the mons are underleveled, not because they have mediocre IVs. Species, level and moveset all matter much, much more than IV does.
