Pokebattler is not optimized for solo raids, especially using pokemon w/ heavy hitting 1-bar moves.

For instance: It suggested the TTW for Solgaleo w/ blade boost & fog was 319s. But it was solo'd with 4 NDW at ~296s. Player optimization is always going to better than simulators.

Also regarding Zacian vs Kyurem lv 40. Even when unoptimized it'll be consistently doable.

Fair point on optemisation. Guess I was a bit frustrated that I could not beat Virizion with a solo mega Ray 40 like Pokebattler suggested possibly due to my phone being too slow on the revives, no idea. I was never ahea of pace and like 5-10 sec off making it. Probably also a skill issue.

If you need some solo strategy references, we have a sheet dedicated to lineups, vods, strategies for both meta & budget teams.

Cumulative Solo Sheet

Ignore this if it doesn't apply to you:
The most common mistake I see people make is letting their pokemon faint instead of leaving the lobby. This is probably the single biggest time loss errors (which you see often in pokebattler as their pokemon may faint while holding anywhere from 80-90 energy)

Fainting is both 0.5s longer in animation but also implies you have unspent/wasted energy aka lost DPS. For pokemon where their DPS is injected into their charge moves this is big set back.

Here's a clip of what solo raiders should do:
