Jolteon solo
Since the game is quite boring right now I've decided to look into Jolteon solo. Been avoiding it since GamePress indicated that I should bring a bunch of level 40 Groudons, which I have no intention to invest in.
But now, according to Pokebattler it seems that 2 level 30 Groudons, 1 level 33 Rhypherior plus 1 level 40 Dragonite will take it down with 95% prob. Is this correct?
What's your minimal team to solo Jolteon?

Just did it with this team. Sunny so weather boosted ground and I had 21 seconds left. Jolteon had Thunder shock thunder bolt moveset. The rhydons were taken to the last bit of health allowing me to unload a final EQ and switch out. No dodging and stupid game wouldn't let me use the 2710 but still had plenty of time to spare.
Edit: sorry it was thunder single bar charge move
I thought u asked for a min team lol. I find that changing out in certain situations result in more DPS. The goal being to have the charge bar at 0 when u switch as well not getting KOd. Only works if the next mon has a similar dps and u dont use a 7th mon. If I had a high level groudon at the one spot I'd at least dodge charge moves when my charge bar is close to max as to not waste generated energy from taking a hit. Getting more TDO on groudon is better since its DPS is higher than a crappy level 30 rhydon even with a couple dodges. Every dodge and every switch lowers ur DPS so if u can switch when ur health is under 5% ur DPS will b maximized if that makes sense. I was lucky also that I was hit with charge moves before and not during my EQs thru the whole raid which allowed me not to dodge. This a good strategy when u have tanky attackers and worried about timing out and the raid boss has a one bar ineffective charge move. When level 3 bosses were harder I'd back out until I got the correct moveset. Tbh I expected a difficult raid with this team and brought my A game. The 2 middle mons had atk IVs of 5.
I have 2 Level 38 Groudons and 4 Level 35 Rhydons. I barely solo'ed a Volt Switch/Discharge Jolteon in Neutral weather, and it only took down the two Groudons. I did have network issues which caused about 20 seconds worth of lag (and took out one of the Groudons), so I should have had 20ish seconds left on the clock rather than the clock literally hitting 0 as the Raid Boss shrunk down to the final size.
I'm considering using a Sinnoh stone on one of the Rhydon's to get Rhyperior and try again, to see how much of a difference that might make for me. (Pokebattler is nice, but it can't predict my network issues, sadly)
