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 1,073 1,335
15 / 15 / 15 100% 1,137 1,415
Raid catches have an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 1,137 CP it is a perfect Mega Sableye — throw a Golden Razz Berry.

How many trainers do I need to beat Mega Sableye?

2 trainers can do it if each brings six level-40 top counters (they average 23.3 DPS against Mega Sableye). 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.

Yes — the encounter after this raid can be shiny.

What weather boosts Mega Sableye?

Fog. Boss moves of the boosted types hit 20% harder (so do yours), and the catch is level 25 instead of 20: 1,335–1,415 CP instead of 1,073–1,137. The 10/10/10 IV floor is the same either way.

Is Mega Sableye worth raiding?

Mega Sableye 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.
