Which IVs make the best Houndstone 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 1/14/15 at level 22.5 — 1500 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 118.49 attack, 132.43 defense and 121.03 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 3,036 of 4096 here, 93.5% of the best spread: one of the worse spreads for this league, despite the three fifteens.

| 10 | 1/14/14 | 22.5 | 1496 | 99.17% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 22.5 costs 14,000 Stardust and 13 candy.
Ultra League
The best spread is 0/14/15 at level 46 — 2500 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
With Best Buddy (levels up to 51) the best spread stays the same, but a hundo ranks 1,797 of 4096.
At that level it fights with 152.58 attack, 171.44 defense and 156.68 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,760 of 4096 here, 96.2% of the best spread: one of the worse spreads for this league, despite the three fifteens.

Taking a level-20 catch to level 46 costs 363,000 Stardust, 248 candy and 148 XL 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 4/15/15 at level 7.5 — 499 CP. The table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 68.87 attack, 76.12 defense and 69.23 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,247 of 4096 here, 93.9% of the best spread.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4/15/15 | 7.5 | 499 | 100% |
| 2 | 5/13/15 | 7.5 | 500 | 99.57% |
| 3 | 4/14/15 | 7.5 | 498 | 99.52% |
| 4 | 3/15/15 | 7.5 | 497 | 99.47% |
| 5 | 6/11/15 | 7.5 | 500 | 99.13% |

| 7 | 5/12/15 | 7.5 | 498 | 99.09% |
| 8 | 5/15/13 | 7.5 | 499 | 99.07% |
| 9 | 5/15/12 | 7.5 | 498 | 99.07% |
| 10 | 4/13/15 | 7.5 | 497 | 99.05% |
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.
