Weather Boosted but Terrible IV

I caught a bellsprout (lame mon, but important question) in the wild. It is clear weather boosted as it is level 34. 703 CP, 7000 dust, 80 hp. Using the IV calculator, it is 6/6/4, with 4 def.

I thought all wild caught mons had 5 as their minimum IV when weather boosted. Is that incorrect?

Well, if there's no other possible values it could have, then you did the experiment and proved the minimum 5 hypothesis incorrect. I've seen both 4 and 5 as the proposed minimum, and I personally never caught a weather buffed 4, but lots of 5's.

Using Pokeassistant I get several different IVs and Levels for your Pokemon.

Putting in the same info, I'm getting the possibility of 6/5/5 as well 6/6/4. Did the Appraisal tell you that the Attack/Stamina were equal?

I had done some analysis of my own when the weather boost was first introduced across two profiles and can say from my experience that no stat IV is less than 4 when boosted.
