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 1,804 2,245
15 / 15 / 15 100% 1,889 2,350
Raid catches have an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 1,889 CP it is a perfect Snorlax — throw a Golden Razz Berry.

Raid guide

How the fight goes and what to bring.

Trainer difficulty Soloable with six level-40 top counters; bring a second trainer if your team is not powered up. Worked out from the boss HP, the raid timer and the counter DPS above.

Snorlax resists Ghost — leave those attackers out even if they are your highest CP.

What is Snorlax weak to?

Snorlax takes super effective damage from Fighting-type moves.

How many trainers do I need to beat Snorlax?

Snorlax can be soloed. The six best counters average 36.8 DPS against it at level 40, which clears the boss inside the timer with room to spare; bring a second trainer if your team is not powered up.

Can Snorlax be shiny?

What weather boosts Snorlax?

Partly Cloudy. Boss moves of the boosted types hit 20% harder (so do yours), and the catch is level 25 instead of 20: 2,245–2,350 CP instead of 1,804–1,889. The 10/10/10 IV floor is the same either way.

Is Snorlax worth raiding?

Snorlax 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.
