Yes — most regional variants rotate through raids during themed events (Spotlight Hours, GO Fest, Tour seasons). When Alolan Sandshrew is a raid boss, the catch CP range above tells you whether your catch is a hundo. Standard raid (L20) is the floor; weather-boosted (L25) raises the whole range.
Where can Alolan Sandshrew be found?

Yes. Different base stats produce different CP at the same level + IVs. Alolan Sandshrew's raid catch hundo CP is the value shown in the card above (1,479 at L40) — separate from the standard form's number. Always check the variant table when planning a hundo hunt.
