Soloing a Focus Blast Alakazam Raid Boss

An FB Zam is a b!tch to take down solo. I haven't had any success yet. Came close a few times. I'm trying to test out the best team against it so we can get a glimpse of what a Mewtwo with FB will be like.

Has anyone successfully soloed an FB Zam with a team of high level Egg with BS/SoB? It resists fighting and psychic. If so, I'm thinking about powering up some Eggs and using TMs.

I hear Pinsir would be great.

Just ran some sims on pokebattler. Looks like Pinsir has the highest DPS, but Eggy dealt the most damage. Time to invest in some Pinsirs! Haha

I've beaten focus blast once out of 6+ tries and he had Psycho cut. I can't beat any of the confusion Alakazams bosses. Confusion is what scares me most from mewtwo.
Tyranitar lvl 36.5 B/SE
Tyranitar lvl 30 B/C
Tyranitar lvl 30 B/C
Zam lvl 30 PC/SB
Gengar lvl 30 SC/SB
Scizor lvl 30 FC/XS
That's my team. Alakazam with PC/SB does great against PC/FB bosses. Very easy to dodge FB with and can get off a lot of SB.

Yeah the ones I came very close to soloing all had PC/FB. In fact, Gengar SC/SBall is great against it. Mewtwo with C/FB will be one scary mofo. Trying to think of a team to build in case that one Mewtwo raid that may happen very very rare gets that nightmare moveset.

Just got back 5 minutes ago from this exact situation. FB Zam, tried it solo.
It handed me my backside 4 times in a row, the best I did was all 6 died, 14 seconds left on the clock, and the Zam still had about 20% of it's health.
I tried 2 Scizor with FC/Xs, and a T'tar with B/C, but I had nothing else to put on the team. The Scizor were glass cannons. The T'tar did well if I didn't miss a dodge. D'nite with DT/O and DT/Hu didn't have much effect. Blissey stood there and went toe-to-toe, but didn't do much damage. Don't have a Pinsir with FC/Xs, but I doubt that it would have helped much. Didn't try the BS/SoB Eggy, since mine is only level 20 and I don't have any candy. Also didn't try a Houdoom with S/FP since I don't have that at all.

Houndoom with S/FP is listed as a good counter in the Raid Boss counters list here on this site. I haven't tried it since I don't have one.
