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 262 325
15 / 15 / 15 100% 294 365
Every raid catch has an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 294 CP it is a perfect Wimpod — throw a Golden Razz Berry.

Raid guide

How the fight goes and what to bring.

Trainer difficulty Wimpod 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 Fighting, Ground, Ice damage — Wimpod 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 Rainy 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.

FAQ

How many trainers do I need to beat Wimpod?

Wimpod can be beaten by 2 high-level trainers with optimal counters. 4+ is comfortable, and 5–6 is the safe number in a public lobby where you cannot see anyone's team.

Can I beat Wimpod without Shadow or Mega Pokemon?

Yes. The best non-Shadow, non-Mega option is Regieleki at 88.706 DPS. Budget teams trade about one trainer's worth of damage, so add one or two extra bodies to the lobby.

Can Wimpod be shiny?

Yes — shiny Wimpod is available from raid encounters. The rate for legendary raids is roughly 1 in 20. Use a Pinap Berry if you already have the shiny and want the extra candy.

What weather boosts Wimpod?

Wimpod is boosted in Rainy weather. The raid is harder because the boss's moves gain a 1.2× multiplier, but the catch is level 25 instead of level 20 and the IV floor rises to 4/4/4.

Is Wimpod worth raiding?

Wimpod is a lower-tier boss you can solo or clear with one friend. It is good for candy, XP and a high-IV specimen, but it does not justify Premium Passes.
