Orthworm is a Steel type Pokémon from the Paldea region. Known as the Earthworm Pokémon, it is weak to Fighting, Fire, and Ground type Pokémon, giving it a wide range of available counters.

It can have the following CP values when caught in the post-raid capture encounter:

From 1245 CP to 1313 CP, with no weather boost
