Here it is in both Normal and Shiny form respectively:
Wyrdeer Stats

Wyrdeer’s overallCP rangeis looking to be from1486-1561atLevel 20and1858-1952atLevel 25withweather boostprimarily duringPartly CloudyorWindyweather. It will have a maximum stat spread of206 ATK/145 DEF/250 STA.
Wyrdeer Weaknesses and Resistances
Due to its typing, it does not have many weaknesses. If you do not have a consistent party to do the raids, there are a couple of good teams you can make to tackle these raids solo.
Remember, Trainers, you want to keep type Wyrdeer’s weaknesses and advantages in mindas well asyours when raiding solo. In the case of Wyrdeer, it isweaktoBug-andDark-typemoves. Simultaneously, it isresistanttoGhost-andPsychic-typemoves, so you will want to avoid those types of moves.
Wyrdeer can know the following fast moves:Tackle,Zen Headbutt, andConfusion. Its charged moves areStomp,Wild Charge,Megahorn, andPsychic. The type variety Wyrdeer can have in its move sets makes it quite challenging to counter, though not impossible.
Good Teams for Wyrdeer
You will probably not have a fully resistant team to all of Wyrdeer’s combinations, especially if you are new to raiding in Pokémon Go. However, there are a few ways you can prepare for the raids.
The teams we recommend would have any of the following Pokémon with the following moves:
If you have these Pokémon but their moves are different than those that you see here, remember that you can useFast TMsandCharged TMsto change the moves of your Pokémon. If you plan on tackling Wyrdeer solo, you will need to do this. Plus, it will make the raid go by a lot faster if you do.
Weather Effects
Keep in mind that if you fight Wyrdeer duringRainyweather, yourBug-type attackswill be boosted. Similarly, if you fight it duringFogweather, yourDark-type moveswill be increased.
On the other hand,Partly Cloudy,Windy, and unfortunately,Rainywill benefit Wyrdeer depending on its move set. If you get a Wyrdeer that knowsWild ChargeinRainyweather, you will want to change your team to include someElectric-type resistantmembers.
All in all, the Wyrdeer raids should not be too hard to tackle even for newer Trainers. Go out and get some shinies!
