Which IVs make the best Palafin Hero 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 3/15/14 at level 11.5 — 1498 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 147.24 attack, 95.6 defense and 108.28 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 446 of 4096 here, 97.4% of the best spread: usable, though far from the top.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3/15/14 | 11.5 | 1498 | 100% |
| 2 | 4/14/14 | 11.5 | 1499 | 99.83% |
| 3 | 2/15/15 | 11.5 | 1496 | 99.69% |
| 4 | 2/15/14 | 11.5 | 1493 | 99.69% |
| 5 | 5/15/12 | 11.5 | 1500 | 99.68% |
| 6 | 5/13/14 | 11.5 | 1500 | 99.66% |
| 7 | 3/14/15 | 11.5 | 1497 | 99.53% |
| 8 | 3/14/14 | 11.5 | 1494 | 99.53% |
| 9 | 1/15/15 | 11.5 | 1491 | 99.38% |
| 10 | 1/15/14 | 11.5 | 1488 | 99.38% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 11.5, and a Pokémon cannot be powered down — here the CP cap is the limit, not Stardust.
Ultra League
The best spread is 0/15/11 at level 19.5 — 2500 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 189.94 attack, 124.47 defense and 139.21 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 3,082 of 4096 here, 94.5% of the best spread: one of the worse spreads for this league, despite the three fifteens.

500 CP cap

At that level it fights with 86.18 attack, 53.96 defense and 61.37 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.
