How counters are ranked

Every released Pokemon is simulated at level 40 against Torterra using the in-game damage formula and the current Game Master move data. Each fast + charged combination is tested; only the best moveset per Pokemon is listed.

DPS is damage per second over a full attack cycle. TDO is the total damage dealt before fainting, so it rewards bulk. Shadow forms are ranked with their 20% Attack boost and 17% Defense penalty; Mega and Primal forms use their boosted base stats.

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	1,640	2,040
15 / 15 / 15 100%	1,718	2,138

Raid catches have an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 1,718 CP it is a perfect Torterra — throw a Golden Razz Berry.
