Which IVs make the best Sandslash 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 0/14/15 at level 24 — 1500 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 119.11 attack, 123.69 defense and 128.27 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,592 of 4096 here, 95.1% of the best spread: one of the worse spreads for this league, despite the three fifteens.

Taking a level-20 catch to level 24 costs 24,000 Stardust and 22 candy.
Ultra League
The best spread is 2/14/15 at level 50 — 2500 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 0/15/15 at level 50.5, 2494 CP, and a hundo ranks 1,129 of 4096.
At that level it fights with 154.62 attack, 158.82 defense and 164.7 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 823 of 4096 here, 96.4% of the best spread: mediocre here — a lower-attack catch beats it.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2/14/15 | 50 | 2500 | 100% |
| 2 | 1/15/15 | 50 | 2493 | 99.98% |

| 10 | 1/14/15 | 50 | 2487 | 99.46% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 50 costs 475,000 Stardust, 248 candy and 296 XL candy.
500 CP cap
(Little Cup is closed to this one)
Little Cup only takes Pokémon that can still evolve, so these are the best spreads under 500 CP for their own sake rather than a ranking for a cup it can enter.
The best spread is 3/14/14 at level 8 — 500 CP. The table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 69.42 attack, 70.92 defense and 73.17 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 205 of 4096 here, 97.1% of the best spread.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3/14/14 | 8 | 500 | 100% |
| 2 | 2/15/15 | 8 | 499 | 99.99% |
| 3 | 2/15/14 | 8 | 498 | 99.99% |
| 4 | 4/15/11 | 8 | 500 | 99.69% |
| 5 | 4/12/14 | 8 | 500 | 99.48% |
| 6 | 3/13/15 | 8 | 500 | 99.47% |
| 7 | 3/13/14 | 8 | 498 | 99.47% |
| 8 | 2/14/15 | 8 | 498 | 99.46% |
| 9 | 2/14/14 | 8 | 497 | 99.46% |
| 10 | 1/15/15 | 8 | 497 | 99.44% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 8, and a Pokémon cannot be powered down — here the CP cap is the limit, not Stardust.

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.
