List of Wild Pokemon and Spawn Times

Cast from a Distance

Since Solar Beam is easy to dodge, find a spot away from enemies so they can't react to it.

Use While in Grass

You can also cast it while inside grass so enemies won't see it coming.

Hit Multiple Opponents

Since Solar Beam's cooldown is reduced by one (1) for each opponent hit once it's upgraded, try to get a proper angle to hit as many opponents as you can. Doing so allows you to constantly use Solar Beam during teamfights.

Cast Through Light Screen

Casting Solar Beam through Light Screen improves its overall effect. If you're using Light Screen, always use it before Solar Beam to trigger the bonus effects.
