It means “Be careful!!”

I have seen that this Pokémon from “In the wild” have extreme levels, up to level 45. So their CP is higher than normally found in the game.

The CP number won’t be revealed until you’ve caught it.  
Just like when you first start the game. The first few levels a large number of Pokemon don’t show what CP it is until caught.  
Usually associated with high numbers due to its high power up level.

It is a mighty Pokémon. Likely to flee unless you use those Safari Balls I think they were called.

It’s good to see more wild spawns higher than level 30. Those seem to have gotten very rare in recent years. I saw a few this weekend thaqt were even over level 40. Sweet.
