Is it worth it for you?

Raid attackers
Your verdict

more damage than your best

Pick the Pokémon you're thinking of getting, then your best attacker of that type and its CP. I'll tell you how big an upgrade it really is.

How this comparison works

Both use their best moves that are in the game now. Your Pokémon's level is estimated from its CP, since IVs barely change damage. The new one is compared two ways: fresh from a raid at level 20 against yours today, and built up to the same level as yours. The verdict uses the built-up figure plus what it costs in Stardust, Candy and Candy XL to power a raid catch up to your Pokémon's level, since that's when the extra damage arrives. It's raid damage only, not PvP, survivability or time to win.
