Verdict

Collector's Pick
Wattrel is a Electric/Flying-type Pokemon with base stats of 105/75/120 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 933. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

What is Wattrel's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Wattrel's maximum CP is 933 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 826 at level 40.

If you catch a perfect IV Wattrel, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Wattrel ranks well in raids or PvP.
