Solo Machamp?

I am sure this has been asked and answered before but I believe we still lack a search feature. I also understand there has been a somewhat recent change to the raid system. Is it still possible to solo a Machamp and if so what does it take?

I do it almost daily, any moveset is doable but Close Combat is by far the easiest. I use a Lvl. 34 C/FS Alakazam, a lvl 34 C/FS Espeon, a lvl. 32 C/FS Espeon, a lvl 36 C/P Exeggutor, a lvl. 27 PC/P Alakazam, and a lvl. 32 DT/H Dragonite in that order. Goal for the first three are to try to get off two charge moves each (doesn't always happen), let the Exeggutor take hits and get off two charges, have the PC Alakazam weave and dodge to get off two charges, and let the Dragonite clean up with one Hurricane.

I finish CC ones with more than 20 sec. every time, and usually finish HS and DP ones off with 4 to 10 sec. left. It really is about setting maximum damage goals for every mon and, after reaching them, allowing the mon to faint in order to save time. Knowing whether it's worth it to keep dodging charge moves in hopes of getting off another charge before fainting is the key. If you don't think you can, just stop dodging and get as many quick hits as you can before they faint.Bonus if he uses a charge move to eliminate you.

Done it twice with this team. Both times against CC. Missed all tries against HS and DP with a slightly inferior team than this. First time 114 of 138 HP left on last Dnite, 27 sec left. Today barely made it with 4 HP left and 17 secs to go. Glad I didn't power up my Lugia ahead. No dodging, lots of nearly full charge bars when glass mons faint. 4-digit figures indicate IV followed by attack stat. All level 30.5 except one Dnite 32.5

It's doable, I even do it with 6 unique mon for a challenge:

Basically I think the general strategy is:

4 from: (Take any combination)
Alakazam PC/Confusion+ Psychic/Future sight
Espeon ZH/Confusion+ Psychic/Future sight
Exeggutor Confusion/ZH+Solar Beam/Psychic
Gengar Shadow Claw Shadow Ball

1 from:
Charizard Wing Attack/Air Slash+Overheat/Fire Blast
Dragonite DT/H
OR another pokemon from the first list

1 from:
Lugia ES/FS
Dragonite DT/H

I personally used:
Alakazam PC/FS
Espeon ZH/FS
Charizard Wing Attack/Fire Blast
Exeggutor Confusion/Solar Beam
Gengar Shadow Claw Shadow Ball
Lugia ES/FS
All of these L30 btw, didn't have to max out.

There is a search feature. The problem is that you can't sort it by most recent, so you have so slog through everything to find what you're looking for.

This is general team I use for all movesets...you could slightly change some things here and there for different movesets if you were worried about max efficiency but why bother if works in beating all anyway

I solo'd a Machamp with C/CC this morning for the first time.

Dragonite, 3277 DT/OT
Dragonite, 3276 DT/OT
Dragonite, 3263 DT/H
Exeggutor, 2552 E/P
Alakazam, 2701 PC/FS
Lugia, 2031, E/FS

All my pokes are at least lvl 30 except the Lugia but I finished it off with Alakazam and didn't get to Lugia. I also didn't dodge and finished with 5 seconds left. I'm going to try and improve on this.
