Might throw my hat into this ring. Poison/Fighting is my suggestion for this CAP. The typing currently belongs to both Toxicroak and Croagunk, Pokemon that both check a unique array of threats in their respective tiers. My justification for calling this a bad typing is that it has three of the least desirable weakness a Pokemon can have; Flying, Ground, and Psychic (4). On the other hand, however, it resists quite a few somewhat potent types; Dark, Fighting, Bug, Grass, Poison and Rock. With the right attributes, this could allow this Pokemon to check a variety of threats thanks to the good coverage its typing gets offensively, while it loses to pretty much most of the Ground, Psychic, and Flying-types in the tier, of which there are heaps. (Lando-T, Garchomp, Latios, Latias, Talonflame, Tornadus, Pinsir, Pigeot, Hawlucha, Alakazam, Medicham, Hippowdon, Excadrill) off the top of my head.
Although Toxicroak has a niche in OU, I feel the full potential of its typing isn't being realized, as it has fairly poor stats and no recovery. However, it does have an enormous movepool, a great defensive ability, and plentiful priority options. Therefore, I believe finding a niche for a Poison/Fighting CAP could be found without difficulty.
