Which IVs make the best Poliwhirl 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 6/15/15 at level 49.5 — 1496 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
With Best Buddy (levels up to 51): the best spread is 4/15/15 at level 51, 1500 CP, and a hundo ranks 653 of 4096.
At that level it fights with 113.94 attack, 115.62 defense and 149.13 stamina — an even split between staying power and pressure.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 446 of 4096 here, 96.4% of the best spread: usable, though far from the top.

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.
