Catch CP after the raid

The CP you will see on the encounter screen.

IVs Lv 20 CP Lv 25 CP (weather)
10 / 10 / 10 floor 1,407 1,750
15 / 15 / 15 100% 1,511 1,879
Raid catches have an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 1,511 CP it is a perfect Deoxys (Attack) — throw a Golden Razz Berry.
