Which IVs make the best Sawsbuck 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 0/14/14 at level 23.5 — 1500 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 128.22 attack, 103.61 defense and 132.11 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 2,097 of 4096 here, 94.5% of the best spread: one of the worse spreads for this league, despite the three fifteens.

| 1 | 0/14/14 | 23.5 | 1500 | 100% |
| 2 | 0/13/15 | 23.5 | 1499 | 99.38% |

| 10 | 1/14/12 | 23.5 | 1500 | 98.98% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 23.5 costs 20,500 Stardust and 19 candy.
Ultra League
The best spread is 0/15/11 at level 49.5 — 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 stays the same, but a hundo ranks 1,385 of 4096.
At that level it fights with 165.88 attack, 134.89 defense and 168.4 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,159 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 | 0/15/11 | 49.5 | 2500 | 100% |
| 2 | 0/15/13 | 49 | 2497 | 100% |

| 10 | 1/15/15 | 48 | 2492 | 99.89% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 49.5 costs 460,000 Stardust, 248 candy and 276 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 0/13/13 at level 8 — 500 CP. The table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 74.3 attack, 59.66 defense and 76.17 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 3,396 of 4096 here, 88.1% of the best spread.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0/13/13 | 8 | 500 | 100% |
| 2 | 0/15/10 | 8 | 500 | 99.93% |
| 3 | 0/12/14 | 8 | 500 | 99.37% |
| 4 | 0/12/13 | 8 | 499 | 99.37% |
| 5 | 0/14/11 | 8 | 499 | 99.3% |
| 6 | 0/14/10 | 8 | 498 | 99.3% |
| 7 | 1/11/13 | 8 | 500 | 99.24% |
| 8 | 1/13/11 | 8 | 500 | 99.18% |
| 9 | 1/13/10 | 8 | 499 | 99.18% |
| 10 | 1/15/8 | 8 | 500 | 99.09% |
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.
