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 2/14/15 at level 7.5 — 500 CP. The table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 68.14 attack, 97.86 defense and 55.09 stamina — an even split between staying power and pressure.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 325 of 4096 here, 96% of the best spread.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2/14/15 | 7.5 | 500 | 100% |
| 2 | 1/15/15 | 7.5 | 498 | 99.84% |
| 3 | 2/13/15 | 7.5 | 499 | 99.63% |

| 9 | 4/9/15 | 7.5 | 500 | 99.19% |
| 10 | 1/13/15 | 7.5 | 496 | 99.1% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 7.5, and a Pokémon cannot be powered down — here the CP cap is the limit, not Stardust.

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.
