Sometimes, you just have to hope that the accuracy and evasion gods are on your side hahaha. For every move that missed because of Azelf's +1 evasion in Bar 3, it'll come back to bite them the other way around.
Evasion buffs and accuracy debuffs are, of course, very unreliable, and it's much easier to just use them as multipliers rather than rely on them to tank. That said, if you're feeling lucky, a crucial miss from the opponent can definitely turn around runs, though these four clears needed way more than one crucial miss.
(And yes, this was definitely inspired by SS Wally's Discombobulate 9 tile and how it made the Tapu Bulu solo possible.)
Here's how each battle went, and the sync grids used:
Vs. Latios: EX Summer N / Support Horsea -
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=011720&s0=1&l0=140&r0=1&p0=0&a0=17041601&t0=44&n0=1&f0=0&v1=008902057100&s1=3&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=13010602&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBgcIERIUFxofISQnKSw&v2=0
Definitely the most difficult clear here, and I did a lot of adjustments to Summer N's grid and InkInk's lucky skill before arriving to this setup, and even then this still took dozens of tries as I wholly relied on N's +2 evasion and the opponent's accuracy debuffs to get the clear. This also required a few misses from the sidemons as well as some turn denials. That Icy Wind miss at the start might've been a game-changer too as N needed all the speed he could get. Not sure if changing N's lucky skill to a more defensive one would've been helpful but I feel like he needed as many multipliers as he could manage too.

Really unreliable but funny clear, as Azelf missing its moves does mean that it can't debuff enemy defenses, which helps Giovanni tank more effectively. The flinches in Bar 3 were life-savers as I definitely needed them for that sure crit Swift, and I think the only way I could've won otherwise was giving SC Ingo Vigilance or running a more useful unit than Shauntal. Glad that Giovanni's Bite flinches pulled through though!
Vs. Cobalion: Hilda / Tech Pinsir / EX NY Lillie -
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=012740&s0=1&l0=140&r0=1&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=41&n0=1&f0=0&v1=000400050000&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=13010602&t1=44411&g1=AAECAwQFBgkLDA0PHB0gKCotLg&v2=011801074300&s2=1&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44114&g2=AAECAwQFBgcICQoMERMUGhscHR4gJSYnKA
A lot less RNG-reliant than any of the previous clears, as the only moves that NY Lillie has to dodge are the Stone Edges in Bar 1, though dodging a few others definitely helps keep her from relying too much on Leech Life and Hilda's Potions. I was also finally able to use Tech Pinsir as a paralysis inducer here for the type skill boost.

Got this idea from AzzyCB, who used Support Charizard instead (

Since I already used Support Charizard in another team though, I figured I'd go with Support Muk, who may not be able to max out Koga's Sp Atk but makes up for it with the type skill, Sp Def buffs, and potential early poison with Sludge. Needed a lot of resets for everything to work out right, but it's kinda funny how +6 evasion works wonders in this stage.
