Which IV is my snorlax?

I have a Snorlax (CP 1889 and HP 200) with Zen Headbutt / Body slam. The appraisal is Amazes, HP strongest, Blown away. Gamepress iv calculator gave me two result:
IV 91 (attack 13, defence 13, Stamina 15)
IV 89 (attack 14, defence 11, Stamina 15)

so how to find out which one is the real IV?

You can try powering it up once than checking again and keep doing that tell there is only one result

Sometimes you can't refine the results.

I'm on my phone or I'd test these IVs myself: open the CP calculator in two windows, input the two possible IVs, then test power ups at every half level. If the two IVs always have the CP and HP, then it is impossible to ever tell the difference.

It doesn't really matter though. It has good IVs and a good legacy moveset.

I have a 14/10/15 snorlax that is very similar to yours in distribution, the first calculation gave me either 87, 89 or 91, and after powering up for a few times it wasn't conclusive.

Trouble is for our distribution, even half levels don't seem to shed any light. I finally found out the truth when I power him to level 29.5 (where my 87 was 2779CP, greater than 2778 of the 89 and 91 versions due to the higher attack interestingly).

In all honesty though, it doesn't really matter. If they end up with the same CP this is irrelevant.

if a pokemon has same values in att and def (ex. Snorlax, Donphan) there are many cases, in which you'll never know the exact distribution; yours is one of these cases. You can use a medium value.
I did assume 61% for my Snorlax who has 60% or 62%
(5 14 8 or 5 13 10)

Really? 2% difference is like 10 cp or something. No one would ever be like, okay if it is 91 iv i will power it up but if it is 89 nah...
