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 1,350 1,679
15 / 15 / 15 100% 1,422 1,769
Raid catches have an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 1,422 CP it is a perfect Zebstrika — 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.

Zebstrika resists Electric, Flying, Steel — leave those attackers out even if they are your highest CP.

Zebstrika takes super effective damage from Ground-type moves.

How many trainers do I need to beat Zebstrika?

Zebstrika can be soloed. The six best counters average 42.8 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.

What weather boosts Zebstrika?

Rainy. Boss moves of the boosted types hit 20% harder (so do yours), and the catch is level 25 instead of 20: 1,679–1,769 CP instead of 1,350–1,422. The 10/10/10 IV floor is the same either way.

Is Zebstrika worth raiding?

Zebstrika 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.
