I really feel that we need some way to come in and taking advantage of checking special attackers, that we check anyways via our typing, is the way to go. That being said, I am ok with a high speed spread, particularly from Dogfish44 since his arguments are valid; however, as Victor said, with a high amount of speed, this Pokémon is likely to become a sweeper which will deter it from the original concept. Therefore, I would much rather see a more bulkier spread, while out speeding their stuff we should outspeed, win.

I think these spreads represent the best general approaches to the concept, each with a different emphasis on bulk or speed.

I hate the very fast spreads as its really just unneeded speed which the CAPshall surely take advantage of. But I also don't like the very slow ones, as being outsped by Specs Volkraken screams not checking it like it should

Like I said about my own spread, I feel like a high speed stat, combined with the kind of attack we'll need to break through our target, gives CAP23 to much potential to be a sweeper, and that really is the main thing that determined my vote. Mxmts has a build that gives us the power and special bulk we need to do our job, without running to much of a risk of becoming something we don't want to be.

Yes, these are just listed from lowest BST to highest; I strongly dislike the idea that every CAP needs a high BST to fulfil its ordained role.

I think the low bulk spreads will doom us utterly but at least dogfish is... well half bulky.

List subject to change, but everyone's spread looks good!
