13 defensive or 10 stamina?

I have a 15 14 10 and a 15 13 15 Rayquaza

If I ended up with these two
I found that 10 stamina mean 4 hp less only
Will the 13 defense be better? Or it will being hit a lot harder???

Or Rayquaza is so weak at defense, no difference at all?

Actually, on average:
1 defense IV = 1 power up
1 stamina IV = 1.5 power ups

The 96% IV Rayquaza is strictly better than the 87% one and will survive longer in most situations (unless there are defensive breakpoints that are reachable only by 14 defense IV and above), 4 stamina IVs are more important than 1 defense IV.

I would not hesitate about a difference of 1 def IV. That is at most one extra power up to hit a defensive breakpoint. Critical offensive breakpoints that can't be hit by too low IVs are pretty rare, and critical defensive breakpoints even more so.

Between those two, I would go with the 96% without worrying.

It might be a harder question at 15a/15d/10s vs 15a/10d/15s.

Oh well , because stamina IV mean nothing for me , 15 and 10 mean 4 hp , and that 4hp mean total nothing,

But I guess one defense iv can overcome by power up?

My highest Rayquaza is 15/13/15 and 15/15/13 dunno which to go with either, waiting till Ray goes away first.

Yeah 9 cp per stamina IV , but sometimes, one stamina IV do not even add one hp at some point , so stamina IV’s cp mean total nothing, such as the cp of slaking (total nothing)

If those are still the two best ones when Ray is gone, I'd go with the higher def IV, as it's the lower base stat.
