Best Lanturn IVs by league
| League | Rank 1 IV | Lv | CP | 15/15/15 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Little | not allowed — must be unevolved and able to evolve | |||
| Great | 0/13/14 | 28 | 1500 | #2,022 |
| Ultra (never hits the cap) | 15/15/15 | 50 | 2357 | #1 |
| Master | 15/15/15 | 50 | 2357 | #1 |
Lanturn cannot enter Little League because it has already evolved. Little League only takes Pokémon that have not evolved yet and can still evolve, so the 500 CP cap is not the only rule.
Lanturn never reaches Ultra League's 2,500 CP cap: at level 50 it tops out at CP 2357. Nothing is held back by the cap there, so the highest IVs simply win and 15/15/15 is best, exactly as in Master League.

Rank 1 IVs across the evolution line
IVs carry over when a Pokémon evolves, so pick the spread for the league you mean to play it in, not for the stage you caught it at.
| Pokémon | Little | Great | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chinchou | 0/13/15 CP 499 | 15/15/15 CP 1265 | 15/15/15 CP 1265 |

How good is Lanturn in the current meta?
PvPoke rates Lanturn #290 of 1,154 in Great League, with a score of 80 out of 100. The usual moveset is Spark, Surf and Thunderbolt.
| League | PvPoke rank | Score | Usual moves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Great | #290 of 1,154 | 80 | Spark, Surf, Thunderbolt |
| Ultra | #401 of 851 | 75 | Spark, Surf, Thunderbolt |
These are two different questions. The IV ranks further up say which Lanturn to build; the meta rank says whether Lanturn is worth building at all. Ranks and movesets come from PvPoke, whose battle simulations produce them, and they move as the meta does.
How to find a good Lanturn
The search-string generator builds a string you can paste into the search bar in Pokémon GO. It matches the CP, HP and appraisal stars of the top spreads above — pre-evolutions included — so you can sweep a whole storage box in one go.
To check a Lanturn you already own, open the IV ranker and set its IVs. It ranks every stage of the evolution line at once and shows the meta rank beside the IV rank.
