This will probably be my final spread unless anyone has any minor nitpicks. Every CAP project so far has been mostly one dimensional in its role, but this time I'd like to try something that could fit more than one role, and I think it fits the concept perfectly. Here are some calcs, and further down some more explantion...
Defensively (EVs: 252 HP, 252 Spdef, +Spdef nature):
- CB Tyranitar Stone Edge 252 Atk +Atk: 36.39% - 42.82%
3HKO
- Scarftran Hidden Power [Grass] 252 Spatk +Spatk: 32.18% - 38.12%
3-4HKO
- Zapdos Thunderbolt 0 Spatk Neutral: 47.52% - 56.44%
2-3HKO
- Stratagem LO TechDrain 252 Spatk Neutral: 46.04% - 54.46%
2-3HKO
- Lucario LO XSpeed 252 Atk Neutral (0/0 neutral mon): 35.5% - 42%

2HKO with SR

- 6/0 Neutral Stratagem with Cross Chop, 0 Atk Neutral: 87.57% - 103.11%
OHKO with SR
- 6/0 Neutral Heatran with Surf, 0 Spatk Neutral: 55.56% - 65.43%
2HKO
This is just a taste, if you want anymore don't hesitate to ask, since most of them were based on defensive versions of this guy. Since this spread gives our future mon the potential to run a lot of different sets, it's hard to decide what's important to see.
Why this Pokemon can succeed:
- Defenses as shown are good enough to counter what it is intended to
- Offenses are helped by strong STAB options
- Multiple sets allow this mon to potentially check/counter all the top 10, let alone the top 5
- We don't need another bulky water, though this can function as one, its offensive options should not be anything to laugh at
Why this Pokemon won't necessarily overcentralize:
- It's stats are still average all around
- Each singular set will most likely be counterable
So please consider this, if you want extra calcs or to nitpick on the exact spread, feel free to do so. I'm sure we can make this new mon into something pretty interesting!
EDIT: Added +5 base speed
