The CP you will see on the encounter screen.

IVs Lv 20 CP Lv 25 CP (weather)
10 / 10 / 10 floor 695 865
15 / 15 / 15 100% 748 931
Raid catches have an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 748 CP it is a perfect Machop — throw a Golden Razz Berry.

Machop 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.
