Jolteon is hard

OK, we all know that, but it's one of a few T3 I haven't soloed yet. Since I don't have a good groudon (the one I have is at lvl 32 and carrying SB) I knew I have to rely on the weather. Saw one today on windy weather and decided to give it a shot. It carried VS/D which is probably the hardest moveset.
Attempt #1: go in with a maxed ray, 2 maxed dragonite, lvl 33 dragonite, maxed Mewtwo and a lvl 30 dragonite. Time was not an issue, I made it to yellow with 106 sec, when I get to M2, the second to last Mon I realize that I'm not going to survive, he spam discharge like no tomorrow, 5 in a row sometime. I start dodging every discharge, finally it comes down to my dragonite fire the the decisive outrage as he fire his last discharge, the discharge connect first.
I think I got him, I just need to dodge a bit with my ray and maxed dragons to get off an extra outrage or two.
Attempt 2: same team, I'm not doing remotely the same damage with my ray, at my second dnite I realize I'm not weather boosted anymore and jump out.
Weather changed to cloudy, I know I probably wasted my pass, but thanks to the gifts I have enough healing items to keep trying.
Attempt 3: I go in with maxed machamp, 2 lvl 36 machamp, maxed ray and 2 WB machamp at lvl 32-35. All above the last breakpoint. I manage to stay on time, making yellow at 90 sec and red at 45 sec, but my team doesn't have enough bulk and is wiped out with 10% health left. I have time for 2 more attempts and decide to blow 100k dust to bring my 2 lvl 36 champs to lvl 39, above the last def breakpoint of VS.
Attempt 4: same team, Jolt just laugh at me and spam 5 discharge in a row on the powered up champs, it wasn't even close. I decide for the last attempt to place my groudon in the last slot to tank damage, maybe a miracle will happen, and it did!
As I plan to go back in I see 2 ppl in the lobby.

As compensation for my investment I got this little puppy.

I had a not-dissimilar experience with Onix today, except I didn't have a buddy jump in at the end. (My kids have an account, but I don't use it solo unless there's a rare mon or I need it for a Tier 5.) 4 second loss at the end, down to yellow at 95 seconds, red at 63...only to have it time out at 6 seconds left. I know that with one charge TM it could be done, but it was really frustrating to try 4x and it time out repeatedly when/if it brought out the last mon with 4-8 seconds left, it could be done. Glad you got a great reward at the end - my level 40 (15/6/15) Jolteon beats my Raikou at the moment!

Yeah, Groudon is pretty essential for this fight. My Jolteon team is a lvl 32 and level 25 Groudon, A level 34 Swampert and then the rest of the team hinges on the weather.

If it's sunny I use FP Venusaurs, Cloudy....Machamp, Windy...Dragons, etc. Double Rock Tyranitar would probably do well in P. Cloudy but I didn't have them at the time.

Bravo sir! Jolteon is probably the hardest soloable T3.
