Appraisal or IV calculator messed up

I have a Metagross that seemingly broke something. It has 2996 CP, 123 HP and the appraisal tells me that ATK and DEF are the highest stats and both are 10-12. The Metagross isn't weather boosted and it's either level 29 or 30 (power up requires 5000 dust).

The problem is that according to GP's IV calculator that combination of stats and appraisal isn't possible. Trying out some values for level and IVs suggests that the Metagross is level 30 and has 9 HP IV. Going on from there I get these results:
11a/10/9 gives the correct CP, but it doesn't match the appraisal. On the other hand
11a/11/9 matches the appraisal but the CP isn't correct.

I found this quite curious.

I reported this earlier:

Looks like the GamePress IV calculator undercounts the defence IV by 1. Nevertheless, I am not powering up any Metagross until I am confident that its IVs are correct!

Double check your CP and HP again. Also, what exactly does your appraisal say?

Same issue for me with Metagross, I can't evaluate them.
It seems that there is an error with its defense stat in the gamepress database (248 instead of 247)

Have you considered an alternative appraisal method, such as pokegenie or calcy for the mon?
