Finally Solo'ed a C/FB Alakazam
No question just very, very happy I finally solo'ed C/FB Alakazam. I had only 7 seconds left and my last Tyranitar was almost dead
I dodged as much with my Gengars as possible (also the Confusions) and was able to get of 5 ShBs with my Gengars. The Tyranitars did the rest.
Special thanks to Housunkannatin for helping me out and optimizing my squad.

I guess I could mention my strategy:
Team (in rainy conditions):
Lv 35 B/C ttar
Lv 34 H/SB Gengar
Lv 35 B/C Ttar
Lv 31 B/C Ttar
Lv 40 B/C Ttar
Lv 38 TS/WC Raikou (because it was raining, I'd sub Scizor if not)
It took me a few attempts and I noticed a couple things:
1) leading with my Lv 40 was't an efficient use of it's power. Putting it later in the lineup allowed it to survive longer and do much more damage.
2) The Lv 31 ttar wouldn't trigger a FB with two crunches and could last a longer time.
3). Gengar dying on a C instead of a FB really messed up the Crunch/Focus Blast rhythm.
so I led with a Lv 35, tanked with the Gengar to get 2 SB off, and hope to die on FB. Put the second Lv 35 after Gengar in case Gengar didn't die on FB so my LV 40 wouldn't be one shotted. Put the LV 31 next so I could sacrifice it at any time on a FB to get my Lv 40 going strong to the finish. Had the Raikou last to do smooth damage in case Lv 40 didn't survive till the end.
Basically everything fell into place. Got off 6 crunches while dodging 1 FB with the first TTar. Gengar got F.Blasted after the requisite 2 SB. The second TTar did solid work getting off 9 crunches. I sacrificed the Lv 31 on the first FB (1 crunch) due to low clock and the Lv 40 finished off the job with 10s left and half it's health.
