Which IVs make the best Genesect 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 2/15/14 at level 16.5 — 1500 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 137.83 attack, 116.12 defense and 102.02 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,019 of 4096 here, 95.8% of the best spread: mediocre here — a lower-attack catch beats it.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2/15/14 | 16.5 | 1500 | 100% |
| 2 | 1/15/15 | 16.5 | 1498 | 99.61% |
| 3 | 1/15/14 | 16.5 | 1494 | 99.61% |
| 4 | 2/14/15 | 16.5 | 1500 | 99.53% |
| 5 | 2/14/14 | 16.5 | 1496 | 99.53% |
| 6 | 3/13/14 | 16.5 | 1499 | 99.46% |
| 7 | 0/15/15 | 16.5 | 1492 | 99.21% |
| 8 | 0/15/14 | 16.5 | 1488 | 99.21% |
| 9 | 0/15/6 | 17 | 1500 | 99.21% |
| 10 | 1/14/15 | 16.5 | 1494 | 99.14% |
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 1/15/15 at level 27.5 — 2497 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
PvPoke ranks it #136 overall in Ultra League, up from #142. 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: Fury Cutter · Magnet Bomb · Techno Blast (Normal) (Elite TM).
At that level it fights with 177.24 attack, 149.92 defense and 132.4 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 978 of 4096 here, 96.8% of the best spread: mediocre here — a lower-attack catch beats it.

| 10 | 2/13/15 | 27.5 | 2495 | 99.46% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 27.5 costs 51,500 Stardust and 46 candy.
500 CP cap
(Little Cup is closed to this one)

At that level it fights with 80.91 attack, 64.86 defense and 59.08 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.

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.
