Then, you choose between Attack and Special Attack.
You are correct in assuming that the standard IV spread is 31/X/31/31/31/31.
A few mons are dedicated mixed attackers, and want 31 in both attacks. Then, you can either settle with a non-low, non-perfect IV in one of the defenses, or go for the hexaperfect.
