...though seeing that HP IV of 17 when its other 5 IVs are all 31 still hurts. :/

Who cares, it's a grasscat in a beautiful shade of purple, this trumps bad IV

If my shiny Luxi hadn't that flaw in Defense, it'd be competitive. Competitive Pokemon anyone can breed if you know what you're doing, but a shiny one or even a shiny with perfect Stats - that's the supreme discipline. I'd even rejoice over a shiny Pokemon with terrible Stats if it only looks beautiful in that alternate coloring ^^

Oh yeah, I still really like the purple cat, don't get me wrong.  It's just one of those moments where if RNG had gone just a little differently, it would have been perfect (wasn't trying for a shiny at the time, but a legitimate competitive shiny would have certainly been a nice novelty to have).  Just a little frustrating to think about, that's all.  I've got plenty of shinies that have terrible IVs because they're random wild encounters.
