Ok so many people keep bringing up the point that SR hasn't been as omnipresent as it was in Gen IV in Gen V. Well the thing is people the CaP metagame is a whole new metagame. People will lay down SR every game to deter CaP1's prowess. I would, so I'm sure all the smarter battlers here will too. So onto my secondary typing choice.
Fighting: First and foremost it rids CaP1 of its SR weakness which is in fact as important as some people think. Now while other types do this too(Notably Steel and Ground) I believe Fighting will be much more unique(Don't want a Skarm/Glis/Land clone do we) because it gives CaP1 the necessary stab to really threaten the opponent. Between moves like Close Combat, Hi Jump Kick and Focus Blast fighting can be seen as a HUGE offensive power. It could be able to threaten Natt, Ttar, Scizor, Heatran, Excadrill, Breloom, The Fighting Trio, and a number of other large threats with its stab moves. I believe Flying/Fighting will give us the most unique and powerful type combo for CaP1.
Yes, people may try to lay down SR more due to the CAP's presence, but:
Mischevious Heart, Rapid Spin, Taunters, and Magic Mirror all prevent or remove Stealth Rock. In addittion, with Team Preveiw and whatnot, setting up SR comes with the opportunity cost of letting something such as Volcarona, Conkeldurr, Blaziken, ect, ect, set up as you do it.
Even with an extra Flying type in the metagame, SR is still going to be easy to prevent or remove... most of the smart players will have some form of ensureing this if they are using the CAP.
Also, just to point out, having some weakness to a type that isn't everywhere may be a good idea, as you can lure that attack, and U-Turn out of it [Assumeing you have enough speed, otherwise, you can just switch], to something that threatens. Mometum can be gained effectivly as a pivot too, like a middleman for lureing an free-switch, not just as an offensive threat.
Personally, I'm still curious as to what the rest of you guys thing about
Flying/Psychic, as my [rather lengthy] post has received no feedback yet.
Perks of
Flying/Psychic:
Psychics get a wide support movepool, most of them get Trick, Trick Room, and the Screens, ect. I don't know about you, but Trick and Trick Room are pretty good momentum shifters, as are the Screens.
X4 Resistance to Fighting
2 STABS which hit Fighting Super Effectivly, both of which are resisted by Steel.
This makes this CAP lure Steels like a Dragon lures them, which, in turn, you could use to your advantage, with Magnezone, or a fighting-type of your own, or a Fire type. IMO, this is particually useful.
The Persuit Weakness gained if offset by the likly fact that this CAP will get U-Turn
Many Psychics get Recover, allowing recovery without losing the advantages of the Flying type.
Downsides of
Flying/Psychic
Flying/Psychic is not winning awards for coverage,
but this CAP is NOT a sweeper, which Fighting/Flying may create
We lose our Bug resist,
but bug moves are not that common, and can be seen miles away, as well as Bug being weak to Flying
Tyranitar becomes a stronger issue, due to the Psychic STAB being an immunity,
almost all Psychics get Focus Blast, however
Some of the support options Psychic provides to shift mometum are a bit Gimmicky, such as Wonder Room, Skill Swap, ect.
