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 686 853
15 / 15 / 15 100% 737 917
Every raid catch has an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 737 CP it is a perfect Espurr — throw a Golden Razz Berry.

Raid guide

How the fight goes and what to bring.

Trainer difficulty Espurr goes down with 2 trainers running optimal counters at level 40+. Plan for 4+ if your team is not fully powered up.

Do not bring Fighting, Psychic damage — Espurr resists it and your lobby will run out of time before it runs out of HP. Everything in the counter list above already hits for super effective damage, so pick the six highest entries you actually own and power up.

In Windy weather the boss hits harder and survives longer, but the catch encounter is level 25 instead of 20 — a harder fight for a better reward. Bring one extra trainer on boosted runs.

On the catch screen, use Golden Razz Berries and aim for Excellent curveball throws; the shiny check happens the moment the encounter loads, so you will know before your first throw.

FAQ

How many trainers do I need to beat Espurr?

Espurr can be beaten by 2 high-level trainers with optimal counters. 4+ is comfortable, and 5–6 is the safe number in a public lobby where you cannot see anyone's team.

Can Espurr be shiny?

Yes — shiny Espurr is available from raid encounters. The rate for legendary raids is roughly 1 in 20. Use a Pinap Berry if you already have the shiny and want the extra candy.

What weather boosts Espurr?

Espurr is boosted in Windy weather. The raid is harder because the boss's moves gain a 1.2× multiplier, but the catch is level 25 instead of level 20 and the IV floor rises to 4/4/4.

Is Espurr worth raiding?

Espurr is a lower-tier boss you can solo or clear with one friend. It is good for candy, XP and a high-IV specimen, but it does not justify Premium Passes.
