All right, it looks like we have consensus.
The CAP will be moderately difficult to KO, except for its exploitable weakness(es) to things that Mega Gyarados (and perhaps other Dragon Dance users as well) can set up on. It will use the presence of Mega Gyarados on the team to discourage KOing it via these weaknesses. It will have some team role that allows it to fit on Mega Gyarados teams naturally, but it will not explicitly be a setup support Pokemon—the goal is to use Mega Gyarados to protect itself, not sacrifice itself for a Mega Gyarados sweep.
I'd like to thank everyone for their persistence in this concept assessment even though it really dragged on. It's now time for me to pass the baton to the Typing Leader, srk1214. Expect the next thread shortly.
