Which IVs make the best Claydol 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. A league it only fills as a Best Buddy is ranked up to 51, and its section says so.
Great League
The best spread is 0/14/15 at level 29.5 — 1498 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 101.58 attack, 176.31 defense and 123.35 stamina — bulky, built to trade shields and stay in.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 2,422 of 4096 here, 94.2% 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 | 0/14/15 | 29.5 | 1498 | 100% |
| 2 | 0/11/12 | 30 | 1500 | 99.62% |
| 3 | 0/15/14 | 29.5 | 1496 | 99.6% |
| 4 | 0/13/15 | 29.5 | 1494 | 99.59% |
| 5 | 1/15/12 | 29.5 | 1498 | 99.48% |
| 6 | 1/11/15 | 29.5 | 1499 | 99.47% |
| 7 | 2/15/15 | 29 | 1496 | 99.31% |
| 8 | 0/12/11 | 30 | 1499 | 99.22% |
| 9 | 0/14/10 | 30 | 1500 | 99.21% |
| 10 | 0/10/10 | 30.5 | 1500 | 99.21% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 29.5 costs 70,000 Stardust and 62 candy.
Ultra League
Reaches this cap only as a Best Buddy — up to 50 it tops out at 2,229 CP, so this section is ranked at levels up to 51.
The best spread is 15/15/15 at level 51 — 2255 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10. That level needs Best Buddy status; 50 is the ceiling without it.
At that level it fights with 131.02 attack, 206.25 defense and 143.7 stamina — an even split between staying power and pressure.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1 of 4096 here, 100% of the best spread: the best possible spread, which almost never happens.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 15/15/15 | 51 | 2255 | 100% |
| 2 | 15/14/15 | 51 | 2251 | 99.59% |
| 3 | 14/15/15 | 51 | 2241 | 99.35% |
| 4 | 15/15/14 | 51 | 2249 | 99.3% |
| 5 | 15/15/13 | 51 | 2242 | 99.3% |
| 6 | 15/13/15 | 51 | 2246 | 99.18% |
| 7 | 14/14/15 | 51 | 2236 | 98.95% |
| 8 | 15/14/14 | 51 | 2244 | 98.89% |
| 9 | 15/14/13 | 51 | 2237 | 98.89% |
| 10 | 15/12/15 | 51 | 2241 | 98.77% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 51 costs 475,000 Stardust, 248 candy and 296 XL candy. Level 51 is only reachable as a Best Buddy — without it the ceiling is 50.
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 0/13/11 at level 10 — 500 CP. The table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 59.15 attack, 102.25 defense and 70.14 stamina — bulky, built to trade shields and stay in.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 3,878 of 4096 here, 87.2% of the best spread.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0/13/11 | 10 | 500 | 100% |
| 2 | 0/12/11 | 10 | 499 | 99.59% |
| 3 | 0/15/9 | 10 | 499 | 99.39% |
| 4 | 0/8/14 | 10 | 500 | 99.33% |
| 5 | 0/11/12 | 10 | 500 | 99.17% |
| 6 | 0/11/11 | 10 | 498 | 99.17% |
| 7 | 1/9/11 | 10 | 500 | 99.05% |
| 8 | 0/14/10 | 10 | 500 | 98.98% |
| 9 | 0/14/9 | 10 | 498 | 98.98% |
| 10 | 0/7/15 | 10 | 500 | 98.91% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 10, 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.
