Which IVs make the best Machamp 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 0/14/11 at level 18.5 — 1500 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
PvPoke ranks it #150 overall in Great League, down from #145. 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: Karate Chop (Elite TM) · Cross Chop · Rock Slide.
At that level it fights with 134.45 attack, 99.4 defense and 125.26 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,191 of 4096 here, 96% of the best spread: mediocre here — a lower-attack catch beats it.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0/14/11 | 18.5 | 1500 | 100% |
| 2 | 0/11/15 | 18.5 | 1500 | 99.84% |
| 3 | 0/15/9 | 18.5 | 1497 | 99.77% |
| 4 | 0/12/13 | 18.5 | 1498 | 99.63% |
| 5 | 1/14/9 | 18.5 | 1499 | 99.62% |
| 6 | 4/15/14 | 18 | 1499 | 99.53% |
| 7 | 1/11/13 | 18.5 | 1500 | 99.48% |
| 8 | 0/13/12 | 18.5 | 1499 | 99.42% |
| 9 | 0/13/11 | 18.5 | 1495 | 99.42% |
| 10 | 1/15/8 | 18.5 | 1500 | 99.39% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 18.5, and a Pokémon cannot be powered down — here the CP cap is the limit, not Stardust.
Ultra League
The best spread is 0/15/14 at level 31 — 2497 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
PvPoke ranks it #125 overall in Ultra League, down from #119. 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: Karate Chop (Elite TM) · Cross Chop · Rock Slide.
At that level it fights with 172.64 attack, 128.37 defense and 163.05 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.

| 5 | 2/14/15 | 30.5 | 2496 | 99.45% |
| 6 | 0/14/15 | 31 | 2496 | 99.43% |

| 10 | 0/15/13 | 31 | 2491 | 99.39% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 31 costs 85,000 Stardust and 74 candy.
500 CP cap
(Little Cup is closed to this one)

At that level it fights with 78.49 attack, 55.68 defense and 73.13 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.

What every Great League build costs →
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.
