Which IVs make the best Lugia 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 0/11/11 at level 15.5 — 1500 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 101.51 attack, 168.83 defense and 129.38 stamina — bulky, built to trade shields and stay in.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 2,384 of 4096 here, 94.7% of the best spread: one of the worse spreads for this league, despite the three fifteens.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0/11/11 | 15.5 | 1500 | 100% |
| 2 | 0/6/15 | 15.5 | 1500 | 99.97% |
| 3 | 0/13/9 | 15.5 | 1498 | 99.84% |
| 4 | 0/8/13 | 15.5 | 1499 | 99.83% |
| 5 | 4/14/15 | 15 | 1500 | 99.7% |
| 6 | 0/10/12 | 15.5 | 1500 | 99.69% |
| 7 | 0/10/11 | 15.5 | 1497 | 99.69% |
| 8 | 0/15/8 | 15.5 | 1500 | 99.68% |
| 9 | 0/15/7 | 15.5 | 1497 | 99.68% |
| 10 | 0/5/15 | 15.5 | 1498 | 99.65% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 15.5, 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 25.5 — 2499 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
PvPoke ranks it #103 overall in Ultra League, down from #97. 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: Dragon Tail · Aeroblast (Elite TM) · Earth Power.
At that level it fights with 130.19 attack, 218.56 defense and 168.65 stamina — bulky, built to trade shields and stay in.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 2,142 of 4096 here, 95.5% of the best spread: one of the worse spreads for this league, despite the three fifteens.

Taking a level-20 catch to level 25.5 costs 35,000 Stardust and 31 candy.
500 CP cap
(Little Cup is closed to this one)

The best spread is 0/7/7 at level 5.5 — 500 CP. The table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 59.07 attack, 97.02 defense and 74.07 stamina — an even split between staying power and pressure.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 207 of 4096 here, 96.7% of the best spread.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|

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.
