PvP IV ranker

IV rank: Every Pokémon has 4,096 possible IV combinations. Given the highest level it can reach under the CP cap, it’s ranked by its stat product (attack × defense × HP), where rank 1 is the strongest version of that Pokémon for that league. Because attack raises CP more than defense and HP do, the best IVs in a CP-capped league are usually low on attack and high on defense and HP.

Meta rank: How well a Pokémon generally performs compared to others in a given league, by PvPoke’s battle simulations. IVs and CP do not influence this ranking, although they of course influence PvP performance.

Other details: Shadow and purified Pokémon rank the same as regular ones. Little League checks the 500 CP cap and that the Pokémon is unevolved with an evolution ahead of it; limited-time cups may add further restrictions. Base stats and meta rankings from PvPoke, used under the MIT licence.
