Which IVs make the best Hippowdon 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 0/14/10 at level 18.5 — 1499 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
PvPoke ranks it #39 overall in Great League, up from #40. 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: Sand Attack · Weather Ball (Rock) · Earth Power.
At that level it fights with 115.49 attack, 117.79 defense and 143.07 stamina — an even split between staying power and pressure.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 875 of 4096 here, 96.5% of the best spread: mediocre here — a lower-attack catch beats it.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0/14/10 | 18.5 | 1499 | 100% |
| 2 | 0/11/14 | 18.5 | 1500 | 99.91% |
| 3 | 0/15/9 | 18.5 | 1499 | 99.79% |
| 4 | 0/12/13 | 18.5 | 1500 | 99.72% |
| 5 | 0/12/12 | 18.5 | 1497 | 99.72% |
| 6 | 1/12/10 | 18.5 | 1499 | 99.52% |

| 9 | 0/10/15 | 18.5 | 1499 | 99.42% |
| 10 | 0/10/14 | 18.5 | 1496 | 99.42% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 18.5, and a Pokémon cannot be powered down — here the CP cap is the limit, not Stardust.
Ultra League
The best spread is 0/14/15 at level 31 — 2496 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
PvPoke ranks it #65 overall in Ultra League, up from #74. 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: Sand Attack · Weather Ball (Rock) · Earth Power.
At that level it fights with 148.29 attack, 151.24 defense and 187.39 stamina — an even split between staying power and pressure.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 3,092 of 4096 here, 94.9% of the best spread: one of the worse spreads for this league, despite the three fifteens.

| 10 | 1/15/15 | 30.5 | 2494 | 99.62% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 31 costs 85,000 Stardust and 74 candy.
500 CP cap

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.
