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
Raid catches have 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.
