Machamp Solo Team

Hey everyone, after hearing about the buff to raid bosses I'm wondering if this team can still pull off a solo against Machamp with any moveset.

(All Pokemon are 2500+ CP and only the Mewtwo has bad IVs)
Mewtwo C/P
Espeon ZH/FS
Alakazam PC/FS
Espeon C/FS
Espeon ZH/FS
Dragonite DT/H or Moltres FS/SA (Only issue here is they are both weak to Rock Slide)

Look at your recommended list and choose your team based on it. If there's flying types in your recommended, you can assume its not rock slide.

Rock Slide: Espeon, Mewtwo, Alazakam, maybe gengar, maybe exeggutor

Non Rock Slide: Lugia, Flying types, high DPS options such as Espeon, Alakazam, Mewtwo

Metagross with ZH is a great bulky option against Rock Slide (and Heavy Slam). Gengar does not resist Rock Slide, but it and Gardevoir are very bulky against Dynamic Punch.

For the psychics you're going to want Confusion over Psycho Cut/Zen Headbutt for maximum efficiency. It's difficult to dodge with but the damage difference is enough to compensate in most cases. All have optimal charge moves, including Mewtwo being shackled with Psychic. Moltres > Dragonite as it resists its steel moves in addition to its fighting ones, plus Sky Attack is a much better move than Hurricane. Rock Slide will continue to give you trouble - I haven't solo'ed one with it yet so I don't have firsthand experience to speak of about it.

You can definitely solo all movesets with that team, if you dodge some charge moves. Without dodging it's a different story.

Metagross as mentioned is the best TDO counter against Rock Slide. C/P Gallade is another good one as it resists RS. If you have a Lugia, it's still one of the best TDO counters even against Rock Slide.
