Which IVs make the best Nidoqueen 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 0/15/12 at level 23 — 1499 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.

Ultra League
The best spread is 0/14/15 at level 47 — 2498 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.

PvPoke ranks it #82 overall in Ultra League, up from #94. PvPoke updated these ranks on 12 October 2026 · we checked on 14 October 2026. Compared with PvPoke's ranks of 9 October 2026.

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 0/12/4 at level 8 — 500 CP. The table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 67.54 attack, 69.42 defense and 79.17 stamina — an even split between staying power and pressure.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,889 of 4096 here, 92.9% of the best spread.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0/12/4 | 8 | 500 | 100% |
| 2 | 0/3/15 | 8 | 500 | 99.95% |
| 3 | 0/5/12 | 8 | 500 | 99.87% |
| 4 | 0/14/1 | 8 | 499 | 99.8% |
| 5 | 0/7/10 | 8 | 500 | 99.76% |

| 7 | 7/15/14 | 7.5 | 500 | 99.75% |
| 8 | 0/9/7 | 8 | 500 | 99.62% |
| 9 | 1/10/4 | 8 | 500 | 99.47% |
| 10 | 0/11/5 | 8 | 500 | 99.46% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 8, 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.
