Which IVs make the best Honedge 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 8/15/15 at level 50 — 1498 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
With Best Buddy (levels up to 51): the best spread is 7/15/14 at level 51, 1500 CP, and a hundo ranks 187 of 4096.
At that level it fights with 120.16 attack, 129.41 defense and 120.16 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 102 of 4096 here, 97.5% of the best spread: usable, though far from the top.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 8/15/15 | 50 | 1498 | 100% |
| 2 | 9/13/15 | 50 | 1499 | 99.39% |

| 5 | 9/15/15 | 49.5 | 1499 | 99.27% |
| 6 | 9/14/14 | 50 | 1498 | 99.21% |
| 7 | 8/15/14 | 50 | 1493 | 99.17% |
| 8 | 10/15/13 | 49.5 | 1499 | 99.12% |
| 9 | 9/15/13 | 50 | 1498 | 99.02% |
| 10 | 11/14/15 | 48.5 | 1497 | 98.8% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 50 costs 475,000 Stardust, 248 candy and 296 XL candy.
Little Cup
The best spread is 0/15/15 at level 14 — 500 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 67.48 attack, 76.98 defense and 71.48 stamina — an even split between staying power and pressure.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,179 of 4096 here, 93.6% of the best spread: mediocre here — a lower-attack catch beats it.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0/15/15 | 14 | 500 | 100% |
| 2 | 1/13/15 | 14 | 500 | 99.43% |
| 3 | 0/14/15 | 14 | 498 | 99.35% |
| 4 | 1/15/13 | 14 | 500 | 99.32% |
| 5 | 0/10/10 | 14.5 | 500 | 98.8% |
| 6 | 1/12/15 | 14 | 499 | 98.78% |
| 7 | 0/13/15 | 14 | 497 | 98.7% |
| 8 | 0/12/8 | 14.5 | 500 | 98.69% |
| 9 | 1/14/14 | 14 | 500 | 98.68% |
| 10 | 1/14/13 | 14 | 499 | 98.68% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 14, 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.
