Which IVs make the best Dragonite 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 3/15/14 at level 14.5 — 1500 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
PvPoke ranks it #143 overall in Great League, down from #131. 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: Dragon Breath · Thunder Punch · Superpower.
At that level it fights with 135.31 attack, 108.35 defense and 113.44 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 2,930 of 4096 here, 93.9% 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 | 3/15/14 | 14.5 | 1500 | 100% |
| 2 | 2/15/15 | 14.5 | 1497 | 99.62% |
| 3 | 2/15/14 | 14.5 | 1494 | 99.62% |
| 4 | 0/15/4 | 15 | 1499 | 99.56% |
| 5 | 3/14/15 | 14.5 | 1500 | 99.53% |
| 6 | 3/14/14 | 14.5 | 1496 | 99.53% |
| 7 | 0/13/6 | 15 | 1499 | 99.53% |
| 8 | 4/15/12 | 14.5 | 1499 | 99.49% |
| 9 | 0/11/8 | 15 | 1499 | 99.47% |
| 10 | 4/13/14 | 14.5 | 1498 | 99.43% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 14.5, and a Pokémon cannot be powered down — here the CP cap is the limit, not Stardust.
Ultra League
The best spread is 0/13/15 at level 24.5 — 2499 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 173.9 attack, 139.52 defense and 148.11 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 727 of 4096 here, 96.8% of the best spread: mediocre here — a lower-attack catch beats it.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0/13/15 | 24.5 | 2499 | 100% |
| 2 | 0/14/14 | 24.5 | 2500 | 99.8% |
| 3 | 0/15/13 | 24.5 | 2500 | 99.58% |

| 6 | 1/14/12 | 24.5 | 2498 | 99.49% |
| 7 | 1/11/15 | 24.5 | 2497 | 99.43% |

| 10 | 1/15/11 | 24.5 | 2498 | 99.28% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 24.5 costs 27,500 Stardust and 25 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 9/15/15 at level 5 — 500 CP. The table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 78.95 attack, 61.82 defense and 65.02 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 3,899 of 4096 here, 85.2% of the best spread.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |

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.
