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 526 655
15 / 15 / 15 100% 572 711
Every raid catch has an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 572 CP it is a perfect Shadow Beldum — throw a Golden Razz Berry.

Raid guide

How the fight goes and what to bring.

Trainer difficulty Shadow Beldum goes down with 2 trainers running optimal counters at level 40+. Plan for 4+ if your team is not fully powered up.

Do not bring Poison, Psychic, Dragon damage — Shadow Beldum resists it and your lobby will run out of time before it runs out of HP. Everything in the counter list above already hits for super effective damage, so pick the six highest entries you actually own and power up.

In Snow, Windy weather the boss hits harder and survives longer, but the catch encounter is level 25 instead of 20 — a harder fight for a better reward. Bring one extra trainer on boosted runs.

On the catch screen, use Golden Razz Berries and aim for Excellent curveball throws; the shiny check happens the moment the encounter loads, so you will know before your first throw.
