Which IVs make the best Sandshrew Alolan 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 15/15/15 at level 50 — 1462 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 15/15/15 at level 51, 1479 CP.
At that level it fights with 117.64 attack, 121 defense and 127.73 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1 of 4096 here, 100% of the best spread: the best possible spread, which almost never happens.

| 2 | 15/14/15 | 50 | 1457 | 99.31% |

PvPoke ranks it #23 overall in Little Cup. PvPoke updated these ranks on 3 October 2026 · we checked on 14 October 2026.
The moves behind that rank: Powder Snow · Night Slash · Gyro Ball.
At that level it fights with 65.74 attack, 73.11 defense and 79.42 stamina — an even split between staying power and pressure.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,129 of 4096 here, 94.7% of the best spread: mediocre here — a lower-attack catch beats it.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0/10/14 | 15.5 | 500 | 100% |
| 2 | 2/14/14 | 15 | 499 | 99.87% |

| 7 | 0/11/12 | 15.5 | 499 | 99.44% |

| 9 | 2/15/13 | 15 | 499 | 99.28% |
| 10 | 2/15/12 | 15 | 497 | 99.28% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 15.5, and a Pokémon cannot be powered down — here the CP cap is the limit, not Stardust.

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.
