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 15/15/15 at level 50 — 487 CP. The table holds the top 10.

With Best Buddy (levels up to 51): the best spread is 15/15/15 at level 51, 493 CP.

At that level it fights with 46.22 attack, 82.35 defense and 135.29 stamina — a wall that wins by outlasting, not by hitting.

A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1 of 4096 here, 100% of the best spread.

These land within a hair of Smeargle on stat product, so they ask the same question of an IV spread — and a shield-heavy matchup often comes down to which of them you built.

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.
