A Pokémon GO player soloed Mega Starmie with a team made up entirely of 6 Dawn Wings Necrozma. The run used the Hot Swap method and did not rely on favorable weather or an Adventure Effect, giving the raid a focused test of the fused Legendary lineup.
Raid solo Mega Starmie, Only Dawn Wings Necrozma Hot Swap (NAE,NWB)

The all-Dawn Wings lineup makes the attempt useful as a focused benchmark rather than a mixed-counter recommendation. It shows that this specific team can handle Mega Starmie under the conditions used, although one successful run does not guarantee the same result for every Trainer.
Solo raid benchmarks have become harder to judge by older star labels as stronger Mega options become available. Our solo raid sheet breaks down that broader change, and this Mega Starmie run offers a concrete example of why a boss’s listed tier may not tell the whole story.
The team screen and battle footage are also available in the accompanying gameplay video. The Hot Swap method is the defining tactical detail, while the lack of weather help and an Adventure Effect keeps the conditions clear.
For Trainers looking at Mega Starmie counters, the takeaway is straightforward. Dawn Wings Necrozma can fill all 6 raid slots in at least one solo attempt, but the result is best treated as a demonstration of one setup rather than a universal raid recommendation.
