The Ladder

I agree that speed creep wars with Specs Politoed are not productive, however I would like to avoid them in a different way. I am fine with CAP5 being significantly slower than Politoed, as long as it is fat enough to take two specs ice beams. Since it probably needs to be fat enough for one and a half dracos anyway, this is not the hard task it seems to be. Also remember we don't necessarily need to endure the full hax of two ice beams since a Lum berry would prevent freezing (and we'd only need to fear a crit).

Physical Tankyness (PT)
I'd like to be able to take resisted hits on the physical side, and not particularly fear supereffective physical coverage hits from specially based pokemon (Politoed used Ice Punch!). This basically amounts to Above Average, I'd say around 110-120 or so.

Special Tankyness (ST)
In my universe, CAP5 is not only living one and a half latios specs dracos but also two politoed specs ice beams comfortably. Amazing is completely justified here, perhaps even way way up in the region of 240-260.

Physical Sweepyness (PS)
If CAP5 is going to be as slow as Wobbuffet (I live for the dream of Wobb outspeeding CAP5), It can easily be content with Below Average Physical Sweepyness and maintain acceptable Attack. Even as low as 75-85 could be fine.

Special Sweepyness (SS)
With awful speed and awful SpA we can basically plumb unseen depths with this stat. I'd be disappointed if we didn't manage Bad.

With this in mind, I'm seeing the total BSR as around 250-280, and I'd be shocked if we were above 500 BST.
