Best Slowpoke IVs by league
| League | Rank 1 IV | Lv | CP | 15/15/15 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Little | 2/15/14 | 16 | 500 | #2,942 |
| Great (never hits the cap) | 15/15/15 | 50 | 1386 | #1 |
| Ultra (never hits the cap) | 15/15/15 | 50 | 1386 | #1 |
| Master | 15/15/15 | 50 | 1386 | #1 |
Slowpoke never reaches Great League's 1,500 CP cap and Ultra League's 2,500 CP cap: at level 50 it tops out at CP 1386. Nothing is held back by the cap in those leagues, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slowpoke | 2/15/14 CP 500 | 15/15/15 CP 1386 | 15/15/15 CP 1386 |
| Slowbro | ✕ | 0/13/15 CP 1500 | 0/14/14 CP 2500 |
| Slowking | ✕ | 0/13/15 CP 1500 | 0/14/14 CP 2500 |

| League | PvPoke rank | Score | Usual moves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Little | #47 of 168 | 76.2 | Confusion, Psyshock, Water Pulse |
| Great | #594 of 1,154 | 72.4 | Confusion, Psyshock, Water Pulse |
These are two different questions. The IV ranks further up say which Slowpoke to build; the meta rank says whether Slowpoke 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 Slowpoke
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 Slowpoke 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.
