Shadow Blitzle reaches 998 CP at level 50 and 882 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Blitzle: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Blitzle?
After a Team GO Rocket battle a 15/15/15 Shadow Blitzle shows 199 CP (level 8), or 327 CP when weather boosted (level 13). From a Shadow Raid it is 504 CP, or 630 weather boosted.

Shadow Blitzle is rescued after beating Team GO Rocket, or caught from a Shadow Raid — which Grunts, Leaders and raids carry it changes with every Rocket rotation.
