Which IVs make the best Blacephalon for PvP, league by league — ranked by stat product, the way rankings are calculated in Pokémon GO. Ranked at levels up to 50 — without Best Buddy.
Great League
The best spread is 3/15/15 at level 16.5 — 1497 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 172.56 attack, 88.45 defense and 85.19 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 2,631 of 4096 here, 94% of the best spread: one of the worse spreads for this league, despite the three fifteens.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3/15/15 | 16.5 | 1497 | 100% |
| 2 | 4/14/15 | 16.5 | 1498 | 99.7% |
| 3 | 2/15/15 | 16.5 | 1493 | 99.69% |
| 4 | 0/15/9 | 17 | 1499 | 99.66% |
| 5 | 0/13/11 | 17 | 1499 | 99.62% |
| 6 | 0/11/13 | 17 | 1500 | 99.55% |
| 7 | 0/9/15 | 17 | 1500 | 99.46% |
| 8 | 5/15/13 | 16.5 | 1497 | 99.45% |
| 9 | 5/13/15 | 16.5 | 1498 | 99.39% |
| 10 | 3/14/15 | 16.5 | 1493 | 99.39% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 16.5, and a Pokémon cannot be powered down — here the CP cap is the limit, not Stardust.
Ultra League
The best spread is 0/13/14 at level 28 — 2494 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 222.67 attack, 113.81 defense and 110.27 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 405 of 4096 here, 97.6% of the best spread: usable, though far from the top.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0/13/14 | 28 | 2494 | 100% |
| 2 | 4/15/14 | 27.5 | 2496 | 99.78% |
| 3 | 1/15/11 | 28 | 2493 | 99.72% |

| 6 | 0/11/11 | 28.5 | 2498 | 99.61% |
| 7 | 0/8/14 | 28.5 | 2499 | 99.52% |
| 8 | 5/14/14 | 27.5 | 2496 | 99.48% |

| 10 | 3/15/14 | 27.5 | 2488 | 99.47% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 28 costs 56,000 Stardust and 50 candy.
500 CP cap
(Little Cup is closed to this one)
Little Cup only takes Pokémon that can still evolve, so these are the best spreads under 500 CP for their own sake rather than a ranking for a cup it can enter.
The best spread is 0/4/14 at level 6 — 500 CP. The table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 101.14 attack, 48.81 defense and 50.09 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 106 of 4096 here, 98% of the best spread.

| 9 | 0/3/14 | 6 | 498 | 99.34% |
| 10 | 2/2/14 | 6 | 499 | 99.31% |

Ranks come from every one of the 4096 IV combinations, each taken to the highest level its league allows, and sorted by stat product. Levels stop at 50, where any player can take a Pokémon; a Best Buddy goes one level further, and where that changes an answer the section says so on a line of its own. Numbers refresh whenever the Pokédex does.
