The exact CP a perfect 15/15/15 Caterpie shows at each encounter type. If the CP matches, it can be a hundo — verify with the IV calculator.

Purify-to-hundo: a shadow Caterpie caught at exactly these CPs is 13/13/13 — purification adds +2 to every IV, making it a guaranteed 15/15/15.

Not for raids — with 500 max CP, Caterpie matters more in PvP brackets, where stat product beats raw power. Check its league ranks before investing.

IV note: Caterpie has functional-hundo spreads — certain sub-perfect IVs perform identically to a 15/15/15 at the level cap, so don't transfer a near-miss before checking.

Every stage of Caterpie's evolution line with the candy cost between stages. IVs carry through evolution — a high-IV early stage is worth keeping and evolving.
