Top Pokémon to prepare for legendary raids

I am looking to start getting prepared for legendary raids. Looking to discuss top pokemon to power up along with desired movesets. I know Golem RT/SE but how would RT/RB perform as I have two at level 20 with 96% iv. I found these online tell me if you think it's pretty accurate- also might be time to invest in Houndoom.

I think Jolteon and Magneton should get a little more love. Also Alakazam with shadow ball, or non dark Pokemon with dark attacks should be considered if Pokemon have focus blast. Pokebattler has the best options for all the movesets.

Alakazam with shadow ball. That's an interesting option. I have 2 at 93 IV. Do you think this would be better than gengar since Zam resists pyschic?

Scizor with double Bug is stronger

Scizor is also already covered in the pics above.

Pokebattler has it ranked better than Gengar against focus blast Meet so. I imagine its resistance plays a roll in that. Alakazam does have a huge attack stat, and SE is more important than it was before.

Gyarados B/C is the answer to Focus Blast Mewtwo.
Still a big team of people will be needed for Mewtwo and other Legendaries.

Do we know focus blast will be an available charge move?

Focus blast is currently a move on Mewtwo. It will be one of the moves unless Niantic changes the movesets before releasing them.

I was looking into this today to determine if I need loads of B/C TTars or if I should use my charge TM on something else. So I've tallied what will be needed to face off against the legendaries. This is table that shows how many legendaries are covered by each type by each level of damage.

So Steel, psychics and grass are not going to be of much help. Rock will be pretty key, but not ground.
