Fire/Poison

I love Ice types and wish they were successful, but Rock secondary typing makes it way too narrow of a focus to type-cast our CAP into a speedy physical revenge killer. Fire/Poison does not suffer from this flaw and gives us more latitude than simply how many points we want the 'mon to outspeed Latios and Landorus, and whether we want them to perish or to really perish.

Serviceable as both an defensive status platform and offensive juggernaut, Fire/Poison offers us the best of both worlds without forcing us to take too much from one of them.

But all of that pales to the main reason I want this typing: the CAP could be a burning bag of dookie.
 
Fire/Poison

EDIT: Like everyone said, ice/rock is just going to end up being a a sweeper. Even if we gave it godly stats, its taking SR damage + super effective damage almost all of the time. This leaves us with a sweeper that won't be able to switch in at all.
 
Fire/Poison is versatile, we already know how offensive Ice pokemon work in OU (mamoswine) and there is nothing else Ice/Rock can do.

Ice/Rock

I believe that this typing will focus more closely on our selection of movepool, stats, and ability than Fire/Poison in order to not make it broken or underpowered, too glass cannon-ish or too defensive. The point of this CAP is to see how other factors interact with typing, and I think Ice/Rock would make us look at it more closely.
 
Ice/Rock

I like both types, but i suppose I picked that out of a biased love for the ice type.
