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 463 576
15 / 15 / 15 100% 507 631
Raid catches have an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 507 CP it is a perfect Gulpin — throw a Golden Razz Berry.

What is Gulpin weak to?

Gulpin takes super effective damage from Ground, Psychic-type moves.

How many trainers do I need to beat Gulpin?

What weather boosts Gulpin?

Cloudy. Boss moves of the boosted types hit 20% harder (so do yours), and the catch is level 25 instead of 20: 576–631 CP instead of 463–507. The 10/10/10 IV floor is the same either way.

Is Gulpin worth raiding?

Gulpin 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.
