Which IVs make the best Carbink 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 5/15/15 at level 49.5 — 1498 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
With Best Buddy (levels up to 51): the best spread is 4/14/15 at level 50.5, 1499 CP, and a hundo ranks 1,553 of 4096.
PvPoke ranks it #34 overall in Great League, down from #29. PvPoke updated these ranks on 12 October 2026 · we checked on 14 October 2026. Compared with PvPoke's ranks of 9 October 2026.
The moves behind that rank: Rock Throw · Rock Slide · Moonblast.
At that level it fights with 83.78 attack, 251.34 defense and 127.35 stamina — a wall that wins by outlasting, not by hitting.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,220 of 4096 here, 95% of the best spread: mediocre here — a lower-attack catch beats it.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5/15/15 | 49.5 | 1498 | 100% |
| 2 | 5/15/13 | 50 | 1497 | 99.81% |

| 9 | 5/13/15 | 49.5 | 1493 | 99.33% |
| 10 | 6/14/14 | 49 | 1497 | 99.28% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 49.5 costs 460,000 Stardust, 248 candy and 276 XL 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 0/10/14 at level 14 — 500 CP. The table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 47.49 attack, 147.46 defense and 75.48 stamina — a wall that wins by outlasting, not by hitting.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 3,900 of 4096 here, 87.7% of the best spread.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0/10/14 | 14 | 500 | 100% |
| 2 | 0/13/12 | 14 | 500 | 99.67% |
| 3 | 0/9/14 | 14 | 500 | 99.66% |
| 4 | 0/12/12 | 14 | 499 | 99.34% |
| 5 | 0/8/15 | 14 | 500 | 99.32% |
| 6 | 0/8/14 | 14 | 499 | 99.32% |
| 7 | 3/13/14 | 13.5 | 500 | 99.15% |
| 8 | 0/11/13 | 14 | 500 | 99% |
| 9 | 0/11/12 | 14 | 498 | 99% |
| 10 | 0/15/11 | 14 | 500 | 98.98% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 14, and a Pokémon cannot be powered down — here the CP cap is the limit, not Stardust.

What every Great League build costs →
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.
