Highest CP Encounter
What's the highest CP Pokémon you've ever seen in the wild? Weather-boosted Pokémon are also included, as well.
If I remember correctly, my encounter was around a 2721 CP Snorlax, which I believe happened during the Halloween event. Sadly, it got away from me after breaking out twice.

My biggest find was a 29xx Dragonite.
It was only Impressive/really strong, so I transferred it.
If it was my first dragon I likely would have cherished it forever. As fate would have it I had already maxed out three wonder hatches. The main reason I sent um tobtye chopping block was the stupid auto select would always pick that one instead of one of the three that were 500+ cp higher.
In don't care how it works. There is no reason whatsoever to use a 2900 dragon with steel wing when you have 3 3500s with dragon tail.
Mine best catch ever was a 82% IV lvl 30 Dragonite at 3008 cp early this autumn (not weather boosted of course).
I do not use scanners so this was really a once-and-only catch. Did not look at nearby, was waiting for the bus and just walk round the block to spin stops when I ran into him. :-)
I powered him up and use him in my dragonite team now, a nice addition.
