What this covers
- Groudon against the Master League meta (PvPoke top-61).
- Attack, Defense, and HP IVs from 15 down to 12, compared to a perfect IV.
- The full grid of best-buddy / no-best-buddy, for you and for the meta.
- The minimum recommended IV spreads, and exactly what each gives up.
Terms to know
- Breakpoint
- An attack-stat threshold where your fast move deals 1 more damage to a specific opponent. Most impactful on fast moves that fire every turn.
- Bulkpoint
- A defense-stat threshold where a specific opponent's fast move deals 1 less damage to you.
- CMP (charge-move priority)
- When both Pokemon throw a charged move on the same turn, the one with the higher attack stat goes first. "CMP lost" means a lower attack IV drops you below an opponent's attack, so you would lose that simultaneous-throw.
- Shields (you-opp)
- Shield scenarios are written you-opp (your shields first). This guide covers all 9 ordered scenarios (0-0, 0-1, 0-2, 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 2-0, 2-1, 2-2), so "you 2 / opp 1" (2-1) is distinct from "you 1 / opp 2" (1-2). Even energy, standard movesets.
- BB (best buddy)
- Best-buddy boost adds one level (L50 to L51). In Master League there is no CP cap, so that level fully applies.
- Premium vs Thrifty IVs
- Terminology from XehrFelrose (video). Defined here mechanically, not as a gameplay call: a Premium spread drops no matchups versus a perfect (hundo) IV spread in the stated case; a Thrifty spread drops only the matchups listed next to it. Whether those matchups matter is your call.
These terms and the breakdown that follows are adapted from XehrFelrose's Master League IV deep dives.
The build
This guide assumes Groudon with its standard Master League moveset. Base stats atk 270 / def 228 / hp 205.
- Fast:
DRAGON_TAIL - Charged:
FIRE_PUNCH,PRECIPICE_BLADES
Check my IVs
Paste one or more candidate spreads as atk/def/hp
(for example 15/15/14, 15/14/15), and this builds a PvPoke-style
matchups table showing only the matchups where those spreads differ.
Spreads that agree everywhere are hidden, so the table stays scannable. This
guide covers IVs 15 down to 12; the richest close-call detail is on spreads
that drop a single stat. Enter two or more spreads and you also get a
leftover-HP margin view (how much more convincingly each wins) and a ✦ marker
for matchups that flip when you toggle your own best-buddy (L50 ↔ L51) in
the selected Case.
Versus the Master League meta
Win/loss at a perfect IV on the 3 even shields (0-0, 1-1, 2-2), in the best buddy, vs a best-buddy meta case (you L51 vs opponents L51), vs the 61-strong Master top-60. The full per-shield picture is in the stat tables below.
Key wins
Shield-dependent (split on even shields): Palkia (Origin), Lunala, Reshiram, Kyurem (Black), Zekrom, Marshadow, Eternatus, Palkia (Shadow), Metagross (Shadow), Necrozma (Dawn Wings), Garchomp (Shadow), Zygarde (Complete Forme), Meloetta (Aria), Palkia, Latios, Latios (Shadow), Kyogre (Shadow), Mewtwo (Shadow), Latias (Shadow), Keldeo (Resolute), Dialga (Shadow), Hydreigon (Shadow), Kyurem, Annihilape (Shadow), Primarina, Tapu Lele, Latias, Goodra, Keldeo (Ordinary), Sylveon, Reshiram (Shadow).
What best buddy changes (at a perfect IV)
Matchups best buddy (L51) gains over not best-buddying (L50), holding the meta's best-buddy status fixed. Even shields, perfect IV.
Vs a non-best-buddy meta
Gains: Annihilape 0-1, Annihilape 1-2, Dragonite (Shadow) 1-1, Florges 0-0, Groudon (Shadow) 0-0, Groudon (Shadow) 1-1, Groudon (Shadow) 2-2, Groudon 0-0, Groudon 0-1, Groudon 1-1, Groudon 2-2, Gyarados (Shadow) 2-1, Kyogre (Shadow) 0-0, Kyogre (Shadow) 1-1, Kyogre 1-0, Kyogre 1-1, Kyogre 2-1, Lunala 1-1, Metagross (Shadow) 1-1, Mewtwo 2-2, Zekrom 1-1
Vs a best-buddy meta
Gains: Dragonite (Shadow) 1-1, Gholdengo 1-2, Groudon (Shadow) 0-0, Groudon (Shadow) 1-1, Groudon (Shadow) 2-2, Groudon 1-0, Kyogre (Shadow) 0-0, Kyogre (Shadow) 1-1, Lunala 1-1, Metagross (Shadow) 1-1, Mewtwo 2-2, Tapu Lele 1-1, Zygarde (Complete Forme) 2-2
Attack IVs
Attack at a perfect IV: 240.9 at L51 (best buddy), 239.5 at L50. Each row drops only that one stat (the other two stay 15); matchups shown are those given up versus a perfect IV.

Recommended IVs
Every spread with all three IVs from 12 to 15 (the practical range above the 10/10/10 legendary catch floor), sorted so the spreads that drop nothing come first. "Premium" drops no matchups versus a perfect IV in the stated case; everything else lists exactly what it gives up. The first two tables compare against a best-buddied meta (the realistic, harder case); the last two against a non-best-buddied meta, which is strictly easier.

Method and caveats
- Simulator: this project's PvPoke-style 1v1 engine. A win is a higher 1v1 battle rating than the opponent.
- Opponents:
opponent_pools/master_top60.txt, all modeled at a perfect IV. all 9 ordered shields, your-opp (0-0 .. 2-2). - Master League has no CP cap, so L50 (regular) and L51 (best buddy) are pure level steps on both sides.
- Breakpoints/bulkpoints are for the fast move (DRAGON_TAIL); CMP uses the attack stat.
- Each matchup name links to that exact battle on pvpoke.com: this Groudon at the row's IVs and level on the left, the opponent at a perfect 15/15/15 on the right, with the stated shields. Links not tied to a single shield count -- CMP, breakpoint/bulkpoint, and the perfect-IV summary lists (key wins/losses and best-buddy changes) -- use 1-1. Opponent movesets are PvPoke's Master defaults. PvPoke's engine closely matches this project's but can differ in edge cases, so an outcome may occasionally not line up exactly.
- Groudon modeled with its standard Master League moveset. Data:
scripts/iv_envelope_analysis.py; rendered byscripts/render_iv_envelope_article.py. - Format, structure, and terminology adapted from XehrFelrose's Master League IV deep dives. The numbers are independently re-simulated, not lifted from the video.
