Wow! Solo'd a Gengar with literally 1 second on the clock!

That was an insane battle. He had Sludge Bomb as his charge move. I started off the raid with:

Alakazam 2466 CP C/Shadow Claw 97% IV
Gengar 2246 CP SC/Shadow Ball 89% IV
Espeon 2508 ZH/Psybeam 84% IV (need a damn TM)
Espeon 2482 C/Psychic 75% IV
Tyranitar 2064 CP B/C 84% IV
Tyranitar 2062 CP B/C 86% IV

All my Pokemon died with around 39 seconds left. I quickly chose the first two Pokemon that I saw and went back into the battle:

Dragonite 3171 CP DT/O 86% IV
Dragonite 2903 CP DT/O 95% IV

I thought these two Dragonite would be enough to finish the battle. They both ended up dying. Gengar had very little health left with 10 seconds left! My third Pokemon came in that was automatically chosen for me...

Golem! RT/EQ 2506 CP 89% IV. I kept spamming RT. I hit the Gengar with the EQ with just seconds left and he went down with one freaking second left!!!!

Here's my reward. Not the best IV's but it's OK. Wow. Solo-ing these level 3 raids with seconds left is one of the best things. So far I've solo'd 3 Pokemon. Machamp x2, Vaporeon, and now Gengar. You're next, Arcanine! :D

Congrats! I've tried to solo Gengar twice and came >< this close the 2nd time. But that damn timer! If I'd had only maybe 5-10 seconds more...

So here is my question with soloing.... Do you get to attack and then go back in with no one else in the raid?

Well, when you're Pokemon die you're still in the same lobby when you started the raid. So because I was the only one in my lobby, I was the only one when I got back.

I was not sure, the only time i have tried to take on a solo and failed it was in the last 3mins of the raid. so there was 30seconds left and just kicked me out. was not too sure of this.

Well done. I sadly cant do this solo raids for now cuz of my smartphone (Asus Zenfone 2). Full of lag, bugs and freezes. My Iphone SE is coming so i hope ill start soloing with sucess soon.

Iphone SE will be good, my old iphone 5s still doing smoothly with solo raid, (i always close pogo and clear ram before raid) only in a group raid it give me forced close but not often ( 2-3 of 30ish)

Nice!!. Zenfone 2 is a powerful smartphone with 4gb ram, but intel processors are just crap for PoGo. Almost unplayable.

Forgot to add

Be aware though that since the latest update, my iphone give me forced close more frequently when playing PoGo continuosly for a long time
I thought it is because my phone becoming obsolete, but my friends who use SE, 6, and 7 have this issue also
That's why closed PoGo and clear RAM before raid become a habit for me now
