The Raid Boss CP for Incarnate Forme Thundurus is 46,044. It is more powerful during Rain and Windy weather, so it is advisable to avoid battling it during these conditions, if possible.

Unfortunately, there is no way to increase your chances of encountering a Shiny version of Thundurus during 5-Star Raids, but lucky trainers may still have the opportunity to encounter one.
When searching for Shinies in the wild, players can use items such as Incense or participate in events like Spotlight Hours to improve their odds. However, these methods do not apply to Raids.
This implies that if acquiring a Shiny Incarnate Forme Thundurus is your goal, you will need to diligently work towards achieving it.
