31 IV just mean an extra 31 in the stat at level 100.

30 IV means an extra 3 in the stat with a nature that benefits whatever stat holds the 30 IV.

The difference between 30 def and 31 def isnt much. The difference between 30 and 31 speed though can be gigantic.

>>15123821 Yeah but the fixed level is 50 and not 100.

Wouldn't 6 extra defense make a huge difference on a pokemon with a lot of hp?

I am sad that my scizor has 31 in speed, SpD, Def and Atk, but 8-9 in HP. Console me, /vp/. Tell me it's alright.

Depends completely on the pokemon. Fragile sweepers are probably going to die whether their HP is 0 or 31. A slow, tanky pokemon won't care about outspeeding anything.
