Can you beat a 3-Star Raid by yourself in Pokemon GO?

Depending on the specific boss and its CP, a 3-Star Raid is normally the highest-level raid a player can beat by themselves in Pokemon GO.

Of course, you'll need to have a strong team in your own right, preferably with party members of 3000CP+ each, but you should be able to beat a 3-Star Raid boss up to around 16000CP on your own if you utilise type advantages.
