Rayquaza duo trivial, solo possible?

According to Pokebattler, I'm see a TTW of 288 seconds for Mamoswine in the snow (with 13 deaths). Does that mean a solo is possible (assuming you re-enter twice within 12 seconds combined)?

And obviously, if the solo is possible that means the duo is trivial, right? Seems like even Piloswine can duo?

Or is PokeBattler using the old tier 5 HP stats? It was a 20% boost though right? So duo should still be very easy...

wasn't here for the initial release, so not sure just how squishy Rayquaza is. Very excited though :)

I think you still have the best friends tab marked. Which means you will still need two to take it down. A solo is not possible. Duo’s will be simple.

Ah good point! I did have best friends as I was there to check if my gf and I could duo when I happened to notice the time to win.

Good to know then. No need to invest super heavily into mamoswines, probably just max 1 or 2 and otherwise leave the rest around 30-35.

311-313 seconds against non-outrage versions in snowy weather. It might be possible with some very lucky RNG.

I would not be at all surprised if Ray gets a Mewtwo-like HP buff. I wouldn't think Niantic would want it to be a trivial duo.

The day has finally come for my FB/B Mew, and my HP-ice/B Porygon-Z, not to mention my ice beam Mewtwos.

I think I read something just after the buff, stating that one of the reasons for the general raid buff was that Rayquaza was theoretically soloable with 6 Mamoswine with the pre-buff stats.
Yet I get the feeling that Niantic treats Rayquaza more like the Lati twins than Kyogre or Groudon with the very few times we saw him.
I hope I'm misatken.

Let me ask what might be a silly question: how good will Mamoswine with ice / Ancient Power be against Ray? I know Avalanche is much better but many of us are sitting on several AP Mamos after the recent community day. Although AP is not stellar, Rock is indeed super effective vs Ray and since it is a 3 bar move it will get multiple hits. All I want to do is duo that flying snake not set a record time.
