110/124/101/122/61/82

PT:189.4392
Can take Adamant 252 Terrakion Stone Edge with 252 HP and no SR (max damage is 421, CAP has 424, cba to do %s)
ST:118.3113
PS:178.7587
SS:179.6840
BSR:374.3176

110 HP gives us bulk enough to take the physical hits we need. Also lets us set up 101 HP Subs if we want to set up on Deo-D/Chansey.
101 Defense gives us, as previously mentioned, the ability to take 252+ SE from Terrakion. Anything further than that I feel clambers into the realm of the absurd.
61 SDef ensures, again, a max HP variant of our CAP can survive 2 Scalds from a defensive Politoed- this is the sort of special attack we should be aiming to build our CAP around, so I just took the cookie cutter one that no doubt everyone will use for their spreads
82 Speed gives us the jump on Gyarados and Dragonite, which is a very interesting scenario when you consider DD sets vs Weak Armor. Also trumps Loom, Skarm and Mamo, amongst others.
I don't want to do offensive calcs because that would be making assumptions into the movepool, but I'm pretty sure no matter what specific moves we give it we'll end up with the capability to threaten everything between different EV spreads, which was our goal. As you might have been able to tell, I've already made a couple of assumptions in regards to ways in which we may EV our CAP to create different scenarios in which we can threaten teams- between going for mixed offenses, bulk or making the most of Weak Armor boosts, we have a bunch of viable routes to take with EVs, all with their own advantages.

edit- i hadnt even noticed but this is really close to capes spread lol
