Little Cup
The best spread is 0/13/14 at level 20 — 500 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
PvPoke ranks it #89 overall in Little Cup. PvPoke updated these ranks on 3 October 2026 · we checked on 14 October 2026.
The moves behind that rank: Counter · Cross Chop · Blaze Kick.
At that level it fights with 75.87 attack, 54.36 defense and 80.05 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,176 of 4096 here, 93.7% of the best spread: mediocre here — a lower-attack catch beats it.

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.
