I agree with Base Speed in that CAP4 should not have any threats that counter all of its sets, and I think the best way to do this is to give it 100% type coverage. In a set-up sweeper build, CAP4 will be limited heavily by the 4-move restriction; a set-up move and both STABs gives it only one more coverage move, which could as easily be Ground against Heatran and Magnezone as Fire against Scizor, Forretress, and Genesect. It should be able to defeat any of its counters, but not all at the same time. Thus there is risk in choosing the moveset, and risk in switching in.
