Which IVs make the best Kabuto 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 10/15/15 at level 49.5 — 1493 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 8/15/14 at level 51, 1494 CP, and a hundo ranks 143 of 4096.
At that level it fights with 132.37 attack, 129.86 defense and 98.02 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 72 of 4096 here, 98.1% of the best spread: genuinely good, keep it.

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.
