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 2,274 2,830
15 / 15 / 15 100% 2,367 2,945
Raid catches have an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 2,367 CP it is a perfect Lunala — throw a Golden Razz Berry.

FAQ

What are the best counters for Lunala?

The top counter is Mega Gengar with Lick and Shadow Ball at 55.5 DPS against Lunala. Shadow Darkrai (50.6) and Mega Absol (49.8) follow.

What is Lunala weak to?

Lunala takes super effective damage from Dark, Ghost-type moves. Dark and Ghost is a double weakness (2.56×), so those attackers clear it fastest.

How many trainers do I need to beat Lunala?

2 trainers can do it if each brings six level-40 top counters (they average 50.5 DPS against Lunala). With mixed teams plan for 3 or more — the estimate comes from the boss HP, the raid timer and the counter DPS on this page.

Can I beat Lunala without Shadow or Mega Pokemon?

Yes. The best non-Shadow, non-Mega option is Blacephalon at 46.6 DPS, 84% of what the top counter deals. Darkrai and Chandelure are the next ones down.

Can Lunala be shiny?

Not from this raid: the current Lunala encounter cannot be shiny.

What weather boosts Lunala?

Windy, Fog. Boss moves of the boosted types hit 20% harder (so do yours), and the catch is level 25 instead of 20: 2,830–2,945 CP instead of 2,274–2,367. The 10/10/10 IV floor is the same either way.

Is Lunala worth raiding?

As one of your own Pokemon, Lunala ranks #18 among Ghost-type raid attackers (Tier C). Useful, not essential — raid it if you need the candy or the dex entry.
