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 928 1,155
15 / 15 / 15 100% 989 1,230
Raid catches have an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 989 CP it is a perfect Dunsparce — throw a Golden Razz Berry.

Raid guide

How the fight goes and what to bring.

Trainer difficulty Soloable with six level-40 top counters. Worked out from the boss HP, the raid timer and the counter DPS above.

Dunsparce resists Ghost — leave those attackers out even if they are your highest CP.

Dunsparce takes super effective damage from Fighting-type moves.

How many trainers do I need to beat Dunsparce?

What weather boosts Dunsparce?

Partly Cloudy. Boss moves of the boosted types hit 20% harder (so do yours), and the catch is level 25 instead of 20: 1,155–1,230 CP instead of 928–989. The 10/10/10 IV floor is the same either way.

Is Dunsparce worth raiding?

Dunsparce has no raid-attacker or GO Battle League ranking on this site, so the reasons to raid it are the dex entry, the candy and the shiny rather than your battle teams.
