Which IVs make the best Iron Leaves 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 0/9/15 at level 17.5 — 1499 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 131.88 attack, 113.44 defense and 114 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,353 of 4096 here, 95.7% of the best spread: mediocre here — a lower-attack catch beats it.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0/9/15 | 17.5 | 1499 | 100% |
| 2 | 0/14/10 | 17.5 | 1499 | 99.77% |
| 3 | 0/12/12 | 17.5 | 1499 | 99.7% |
| 4 | 0/10/14 | 17.5 | 1499 | 99.61% |
| 5 | 3/15/15 | 17 | 1497 | 99.51% |
| 6 | 0/8/15 | 17.5 | 1496 | 99.51% |
| 7 | 4/14/15 | 17 | 1499 | 99.45% |
| 8 | 1/7/15 | 17.5 | 1498 | 99.43% |
| 9 | 0/15/9 | 17.5 | 1499 | 99.34% |
| 10 | 0/15/8 | 17.5 | 1495 | 99.34% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 17.5, and a Pokémon cannot be powered down — here the CP cap is the limit, not Stardust.
Ultra League
The best spread is 0/12/14 at level 29 — 2497 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 169.78 attack, 148.2 defense and 146.04 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 815 of 4096 here, 97% of the best spread: mediocre here — a lower-attack catch beats it.

| 10 | 2/14/15 | 28.5 | 2493 | 99.39% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 29 costs 65,000 Stardust and 58 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 0/14/14 at level 6 — 499 CP. The table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 75.78 attack, 66.79 defense and 65.18 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,539 of 4096 here, 92.6% of the best spread.

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.
