Bonuses
You will get 2x Candy for catching Pokémon

Note on Catch Bonus
If you do not want to catch the featured Pokémon, you can make use of the 2x Catch Candy bonus by catching any saved Scatterbug, or opening a Mystery Box or Coin Bag! You can stock up on field research or leave any special or timed research encounters until Spotlight Hour to make use of this bonus. If you aren’t interested in Whismur candy, you could even use this bonus to get extra candy from catching raid bosses!

The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Whismur if they are Mega/Primal evolved.
A Note on Mega Catch Bonus
While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.
PVP
EXPLOUD is still trapped behind terrible, horrible, no good, very bad fast moves (Bite 😰 and Astonish 🤢), remains absolutely worthless, usually unable to even reach the energy for a charged attack before falling.
PVE
Exploud ranks as a D-tier gym defender and F-tier normal type attacker.
