Which IVs make the best Nihilego 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 1/15/15 at level 14 — 1496 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 124.96 attack, 112.47 defense and 127.46 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 2,628 of 4096 here, 94.2% 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 | 1/15/15 | 14 | 1496 | 100% |
| 2 | 2/14/15 | 14 | 1498 | 99.95% |
| 3 | 2/15/14 | 14 | 1499 | 99.61% |
| 4 | 2/15/13 | 14 | 1496 | 99.61% |
| 5 | 0/15/15 | 14 | 1490 | 99.6% |
| 6 | 3/14/13 | 14 | 1498 | 99.56% |
| 7 | 1/14/15 | 14 | 1492 | 99.56% |
| 8 | 2/13/15 | 14 | 1495 | 99.51% |
| 9 | 0/7/10 | 14.5 | 1500 | 99.49% |
| 10 | 0/14/2 | 14.5 | 1500 | 99.46% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 14, 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 23.5 — 2495 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 161.25 attack, 145.06 defense and 165.13 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,571 of 4096 here, 96.1% of the best spread: one of the worse spreads for this league, despite the three fifteens.

| 10 | 0/14/14 | 23.5 | 2490 | 99.39% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 23.5 costs 20,500 Stardust and 19 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 0/13/15 at level 5 — 500 CP. The table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 72.27 attack, 64.73 defense and 74.01 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.

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.
