Ledyba 100% perfect IV stats in Pokémon Go
This week’s Spotlight Hour is a great opportunity to catch a Ledyba with perfect IV stats.
Once you’ve caught a 100% IV stats Ledyba, you’ll have the choice of evolving it into a Ledian with perfect stats. While they don't exactly hold much sway in the Go Battle League, they can be useful in battling Team Go Rocket Grunts or in raids.
The CP values that correspond to perfect 15/15/15 values are as follows:
- Level 30 (wild CP maximum) - 624 CP
- Level 35 (weather boosted CP maximum) - 676 CP
The wild CP value aligns with your trainer level until you reach Level 30 and, due to the majority of the player base now being above this level, we’ve kept to these values for the sake of simplicity. These values will, however, be different if you’re currently below Level 30.
