When to stop powering up?
I have this 2 100% mons a Dragonite(DT/H), Gyara(B/Hp) and a Golem (RT/RB) which is currently @ levels 31.5 and 30.5 both.Obvioulsly I'm taking my D'nite up to max while I'm having second thoughts about powering up mg Gyara and Golem.I have read stuff about damage breakpoints or whatsover but I didnt read enough to learn new things about it.What are your thoughts?Is there a big difference between level 30 mons against above 30mons?

A Pokémon gets 90% of its total stats ever by level 30. So powering up from 30.5 to max means you'll only get about 10% more stats. Damage breakpoints are very specific because they are based on the enemy's defense. So unless you're trying to solo specific raids or preparing for mewtwo, optimizing for breakpoints isn't going to be that useful.
You can't max out everything, but aside from the really powerful Pokemon, I like to find good Pokemon with a particular niche, a 14/15 attack stat, and that have the right attacks. Examples include Alakazam (Psycho Cut / Future Sight), Gengar (Shadow Claw / Shadow Ball), Machamp (Counter / Dynamic Punch). Also maxed out 2 Golems and 2 Rhydons recently due to the back to back electric legendaries.
