Crappy IV but powered max Pokemon?

Sometimes, things are just not going your way...

What is the Pokemon of crappy IV (say < 60%) that you still maxed it out (say at least over level 30)?

P.s.: no offense here... I don't mean IV is everything, but max out crappy IV usually for some reasons rather than wait and see any good catch or hatch.

Snorlax and dragonite. Both under 60.

Caught the dragonite at 2200ish with optimal moves and didn't know where to catch dratini, but I hatched one and I just kept powering it.

Waited for months for a Z/bs snorlax. Caught a 1600ish. Bad iv wasn't gonna stop me.

Love your perspective.

I'm seriously consider to power up my snorlax of 5x% iv and zh/bs and 1500cp. Not sure how long I need to wait for a better one.

How good/bad is your snorlax mentioned? Thanks.

I don't see anything wrong with it.Its my top defender. It broke 2900, sure don't wanna wait months again. Chances are if I got a better one it would be from an egg around 80%. Not that big of a difference at all.

Using the calculator I think the cp difference from mine and a perfect one was less than 150, and I'm definitely not gonna get a perfect one. So I just told myself "why would I wait for 100cp?"

A 57% Arcanine that was lvl 29 when I caught it, and I powered it up to lvl 31. Growlithes aren't very common around here, so I figured it was the best Arcanine I'm likely to get for a while.

A 51% Kabutops that I powered up from lvl 28 to level 30.5, mainly because I wanted to get its CP over 2000, and I didn't know when I'd get another one after my short-lived local Kabuto nest went away.

A 53% Golem that I powered up to lvl 31 from around lvl 27. It took me a long time to accumulate enough Geodude candies to evolve him, and I like Golem, so I powered him up.

A 60% level 18ish Dragonite I caught in the wild. It has DB/DC and 15 ATK IV. I've powered him up to level 30 using almost exclusively buddy candies; Dratini is super rare where I live (I average catching one every two months), so I know I will probably never have a chance to evolve a second Dragonite.
