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 1,323 1,645
15 / 15 / 15 100% 1,394 1,734
Raid catches have an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 1,394 CP it is a perfect Mega Mawile — throw a Golden Razz Berry.
