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
Raid catches have 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.

What is Wimpod weak to?

Wimpod takes super effective damage from Electric, Flying, Rock-type moves.

How many trainers do I need to beat Wimpod?

What weather boosts Wimpod?

Rainy. Boss moves of the boosted types hit 20% harder (so do yours), and the catch is level 25 instead of 20: 325–365 CP instead of 262–294. The 10/10/10 IV floor is the same either way.

Is Wimpod worth raiding?

Wimpod 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.
