Which IVs make the best Swellow 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 0/15/15 at level 29.5 — 1497 CP. Anything close to it is worth keeping; the table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 134.23 attack, 100.86 defense and 123.35 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 2,015 of 4096 here, 94.9% of the best spread: one of the worse spreads for this league, despite the three fifteens.

| 10 | 0/15/10 | 30 | 1499 | 99.21% |
Taking a level-20 catch to level 29.5 costs 70,000 Stardust and 62 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 0/14/11 at level 10 — 499 CP. The table holds the top 10.
At that level it fights with 78.16 attack, 58.31 defense and 70.14 stamina — a glass cannon: it hits first and does not want a long fight.
A hundo — 15/15/15 — lands at rank 1,615 of 4096 here, 93.2% of the best spread.
| Rank | Attack / Defense / HP | Level | CP | Of the best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0/14/11 | 10 | 499 | 100% |
| 2 | 0/12/14 | 10 | 500 | 99.96% |
| 3 | 1/13/11 | 10 | 500 | 99.81% |
| 4 | 0/15/10 | 10 | 500 | 99.29% |
| 5 | 0/15/9 | 10 | 498 | 99.29% |
| 6 | 0/13/12 | 10 | 499 | 99.28% |
| 7 | 0/13/11 | 10 | 498 | 99.28% |
| 8 | 0/11/15 | 10 | 500 | 99.22% |
| 9 | 0/11/14 | 10 | 498 | 99.22% |
| 10 | 1/14/9 | 10 | 499 | 99.1% |
A level-20 catch is already past level 10, 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.
