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 1,297 1,613
15 / 15 / 15 100% 1,367 1,700
Raid catches have an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 1,367 CP it is a perfect Electabuzz — throw a Golden Razz Berry.

Electabuzz takes super effective damage from Ground-type moves.

How many trainers do I need to beat Electabuzz?

What weather boosts Electabuzz?

Rainy. Boss moves of the boosted types hit 20% harder (so do yours), and the catch is level 25 instead of 20: 1,613–1,700 CP instead of 1,297–1,367. The 10/10/10 IV floor is the same either way.

Is Electabuzz worth raiding?

Electabuzz 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.
