Raid basics

How is the catch CP range calculated?

The range shows the CP of the boss after you beat it, from 10/10/10 IVs to a perfect 15/15/15 at level 20. If the boss's types are weather boosted the catch is level 25 and the CP is higher — open the boss page for both ranges.

How many trainers do I need?

1-Star and 3-Star raids are soloable with decent counters. 5-Star and Mega raids usually need 3–6 trainers depending on levels and weather; Elite raids need a full lobby of strong players.

Where do the counters come from?

Counters are ranked by DPS and total damage output (TDO) against the boss's typing, using the current Game Master move data. Shadow and Mega forms are included when they are available in the game.
