Wow, the Vaporeon isn't dead? (Failed solo)
Answers
This exact thing happened to me while I was soloing a Gengar, no health but not fainted. Although, I probably could have had it beat, but someone walked up to me with 30 seconds left in the battle and distracted me enough that I lost a charge move on my 5th guy (which I think was a future sight).
We ended up beating him together in no time, but it would have been my first successful solo.
I did it (Vaporeon has HP) with exactly the same team i used for fighting walls of multiple Blissey in high level old gym system, so it is kind like a nostalgic momen for me
1st time for Vapo raid so i use mons that i am familiar with, and just use most powerfull exeggutor that i have
The timer is at zero, but lucky me the server decided that i win
I am just lucky living in a cross between grass and water biome (outskirt of a big city and near a water chanel) so exeggcute is as common as pidgey here especially before gen 2 launch.
I think you just a bit unlucky as we have similar result in time remaining
Might be just 1-2 fast move more than you or some slight lagging prevent you from winning
I hope you can win it next time, and trying different settings, decide what mons to power up, etc so we can soloed a tier 3 boss is actually making me excited..
