Which IVs make the best Sandshrew 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 — 1426 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, 1443 CP.
At that level it fights with 118.48 attack, 113.44 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.

| 10 | 14/15/13 | 50 | 1406 | 98.51% |

Little Cup
The best spread is 0/11/11 at level 16 — 500 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 67.33 attack, 70 defense and 79.08 stamina — an even split between staying power and pressure.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 3,174 of 4096 here, 91.2% 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 | 0/11/11 | 16 | 500 | 100% |
| 2 | 1/14/14 | 15.5 | 499 | 99.88% |
| 3 | 0/15/15 | 15.5 | 499 | 99.83% |

| 9 | 1/15/13 | 15.5 | 499 | 99.35% |
| 10 | 1/15/12 | 15.5 | 498 | 99.35% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 16, and a Pokémon cannot be powered down — here the CP cap is the limit, not Stardust.

What every Great League build costs →
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.
