PsycoCut Alakazam solo

I wanted to share this in case it may help some of you trainers!

So today I managed to solo PC/SB Alakazam, it was my first time trying to do it and I managed to solo it on the 2nd try.

Here was my team:
lvl 32.5 15/13/12 Sucker Punch/Shadow Ball Gengar
lvl 33.5 15/11/14 Bite/Crunch Tyranitar
lvl 31.5 15/14/14 Sucker Punch/Shadow Ball Gengar
lvl 33.5 15/11/12 Bite/Crunch Tyranitar
lvl 30 11/12/14 PsycoCut/Shadow Ball Mewtwo
lvl 31 11/12/11 Bite/Crunch Tyranitar

Some aspects I considered key:

The positioning: instead of putting the Gengars and Mewtwo in front, I decided to space them with Tyranitars so that when a Gengar or Mewtwo comes in Alakazam's energy is as low as possible.

Dodging: it's crucial that you dodge EVERY Shadow Ball with Gengar and Mewtwo (unless they are very low hp), I timed out on my first try because I didn't get enough Shadow Balls off with my Gengars. Aim to get 3-4 Shadowballs per Gengar.
No dodging with Tyranitar.

Mewtwo himself: I considered Mewtwo to be the key on soloing Alakazam, my lvl 30 11 attack Mewtwo literally did like 35-40% of Alakazam's HP alone. Go Psycocut, it has a higher dps cycle and it's way easier to dodge with.

If you have any more recommendations or things I should have done a different way make sure to say it please!

Thanks and have a nice day.

Good stuff. Shadow Ball in general is the key to beating the clock with Alakazam. It can be done without Mewtwo but his bulk does add some breathing room

Very nice, I soloed a Zam recently with the same moveset and very similar team. In fact, same team composition. Differences are on the levels, one of my tyranitars was L25 but I never got to it. My both Gengars have Shadow Claw which helps.

I also like intertwining Gengars with tytar. Dodging shadow ball successfully is key indeed.

Super fun. I'm dreading Confusion + SB though. I've done Confusion+FS with only 2 tyranitars (one below L23) and that was hard af, finished off with L29 Scizor. But I'm pretty confident I can do the other moveset combinations, my team has gotten stronger since.

I love Zam, I wish they kept it in rotation.
