Typing: Water/ElectricName: Utility Counter
General Description: This Pokemon is capable of being customized to counter virtually any specific Pokemon, but is incapable of countering a large number of Pokemon at the same time.
Justification: It is not unusual for people to say that "versatility is broken" from an offensive standpoint; less attention is given to versatile defensive Pokemon such as Zapdos or Hariyama. This Pokemon would allow us to study the impact of having a Pokemon that is capable of dealing with such varied threats as Salamence, Lucario, and Gengar....but not all at once.
Questions To Be Answered:
--How useful is defensive versatility in a metagame with so many different threats to account for?
--Given the existence of a Pokemon that can hard counter only specific major threats, which threats will be prepared for the most?
--How would team building change if certain difficult-to-prepare-for threats became easier to prepare for?
--Which is more useful, a Pokemon that can somewhat handle a wide range of threats, or a Pokemon that can handle a few threats extremely well?

HP:
High HP maximizes the effect of EV's spent on one of the defenses. This is especially vital for Utility Counter because its defensive prowess is now directly linked to defensive investment. The simple truth is that there is no way to increase a Pokemon's HP by 10%, so the best way to encourage and optimize wise EV investment is by having High HP and lowish defenses. Blissey is the extreme example that illustrates this perfectly. EVs and Nature together will never let you raise a Pokemon's stat by more than 70 + [Original Stat/10] points. Therefore the lower the initial stat the higher your defensive prowess goes up by adding those points. Blissey's Defensive ability more than doubles with 252 Defense EVs and Nature, Shuckle's is barely touched.
Speed:
Speed may be factored into Sweepiness stats but it is crucial here for defensive purposes. Consistently outspeeding Base 100 Pokemon without a speed nature allows it to run a positive Def/SpD boosting nature (or Atk/SA). Thus CAP10 would only have to face one attack each time it switches in rather than two if it were slower. Additionally it will receive 10% less damage than if it needed a speed boosting nature to avoid a second attack. Since many of OU's Top threats are unwallable through any reasonable means, avoiding a second attack is your best chance for reliably countering them. Fidgit used this trait (and indeed, same Base Speed) with Encore to excellent effect. Essentially I want to optimize the perceived threat level. The actual level of threat depends entirely on the spread and the set. 105 Speed accomplishes this by turning Speed into a viable defensive mechanism.
Attack and Special Attack: These values are the maximum allowed for a Rank 5 Sweepiness stat. They will require some investment in order to net KO's, but a diverse movepool will allow CAP10 to thrive with lesser stats. When I worked out the calculations combined with Speed I found them sufficient. Any more speed looked like it would undermine capacity to threaten, and any less would remove the advantages 105 Speed brings with it.
With no investment, Ice Beam deals 94-111% to Naive DDMence. 40 EV's guarantees a OHKO. CAP10 could run a set with 12 HP / 252 Def/28 SA/216 Spe and Timid, with Leftovers. The Nature of Mence doesn't really matter as DDMence is going to eat 10% of it's health if it attacks you after DD.
Final Stats (assume neutral nature):
446 HP / 204 Atk / 245 Def / 209 SpA / 184 Def / 300 Spe.

To do this requires a large investment in defense EVs, so this spread is remarkably good at taking physical attacks generally. However, because it needs to outspeed Salamence it's offensive prowess is very suspect. It can take out Mence, Flamethrower offers decent coverage on Steel types, and Thunderbolt can cover Gyarados. Since these three are the most effective moves on the set, the 4th move will probably be a supporting move, maybe Toxic, maybe Recovery. It could also put Surf in there and have the coverage of Fire/Water/Ice/Electric.
It's weaknesses particularly in regard to special attacks are very noticable, and it has extreme difficulty dealing with several bulky defensive pokemon like Celebi and Swampert. Even Physically Defensive Zapdos could offer a potential problem. Mixed attacking is pretty much out of the question with this set, so Blissey also walls it handily.
+1 LO Naive Mence Outrage: 84-2-99.1%. Earthquake: 85-100% Meaning that if you created a CAP10 to Counter Salamence, it would be able to come in on any of its moves and either force it out or take an Outrage, or have a high probability of surviving Earthquake (it needs to hit 443 when the range is 378-446). Now the interesting part is that we have no investment in SpD. Here is what LO Draco Meteor does: 63-74%. So while we have not and cannot wall Salamence, we can switch in to any of its attacks and, barring a critical hit, force it out by threatening a OHKO.
Now you might ask what this spread is weak to? Well, it can't break Defensive Zapdos. Even Physically Defensive Zapdos only takes 35-42% from Ice Beam, so even though you outspeed it, it can still Roost and easily Pressure Stall you out. Offensive Zapdos would avoid the 2HKO were it not for Life Orb recoil, as another example. As far as the damage Zapdos is dealing, Thunderbolt from Physically Defensive Zapdos deals 36-42%. LO Zapdos clean 2HKO's with Thunderbolt, so it can't come in on you, but you can't really switch into it.
What about Tyranitar? CBTar deals 79-94% with Earthquake to this spread. What does Superpower do to TTar? 65-76%. The Defense Drop ensures Earthquake will proceed to OHKO CAP10, you also risk a potential KO from Sandstorm damage, especially if SR is down. If you used Life Orb you would be susceptible to the above Mence's Outrage and perish via recoil, Zapdos would more easily dispatch you, and you'd still need SR or to divert from Defense to manage a solid KO.
This is merely a scenario example of one specific set that could be tailored to ostensibly counter these three threats. It can certainly damage each of them in turn, and it fares fairly well against them, but the only one it really hard counters is Salamence, who can't KO it with any of it's moves, is slower if it begins with Outrage, and even with the +1 cannot guarantee a KO without hazards. I'll have more advanced Calcs later, this is a draft.
EDIT NOTE: While this spread is very similar to Vaz's, Vaz was posted before the original closing of the topic. His is also is slightly over the allowed parameters, so before you claim "copycat," do know I spent a goodly amount of time calibrating this to fit the restrictions.

Overview
When coming up with a stat spread for this CAP, I was aiming for a spread that gives us as much versatility as possible. We want this CAP to have a lot of freedom with its EV choices so it can be constructed to whatever is best to the Pokemon you want to counter. This freedom is done by using a base HP stat of 130 and base Speed stat of 120, along with relatively equal offensive and defensive stats. I wanted to make sure that this CAP won’t be used offensively because of the pretty high Speed, so the average offenses help remove that potential idea of being uses offensively. I’m sure you all won’t like to see this CAP using some Life Orb set because it has great Special Attack and Speed; this is not what the concept is meant to do. I want this Pokemon to take hits, hit back with decent power that won’t leave it helpless, and outspeed certain Pokemon that you want without much EV investment.
HP / Def / SpD
130 HP / 82 Def / 84 SpD is my defensive spread of choice. The high HP gives us a lot of room for where we want our EVs to go. We can use minimal HP investment and insert the rest of our EVs in either or all (Special) Defense, (Special) Attack, and Speed. This is probably the most important aspect of this CAP; versatility. I tried to maximize this Pokemon’s defensive abilities but keep them relatively close to each other to avoid any bias when selecting the Pokemon you want to counter. I mean, I don’t want considerably higher Defense than Special Defense because you won’t be able to effectively counter special threats, such as Azelf, Starmie, etc. So, the close, slightly above average defenses paired up with the great HP stat makes it a good defensive Pokemon.
Atk / SpA / Spe
I didn’t want this Pokemon to be used as a potential sweeper, so the offensive stats I gave it kind of steer it away from being held offensively. The offensive stats are just not sweeper material, so the 80-ish range of these stats are acceptable in my opinion. Also, these stats don’t make our Pokemon weak when countering Pokemon, it still has decent enough power to hit stuff back.
About the Speed... This was probably the most difficult stat for me to decide on. I really didn’t want this CAP to be used offensively, but now with those non-sweep-ish offensive stats, I can safely enhance its Speed to higher levels. I was completely against getting higher 110, but now that I think about it, this CAP would really benefit from the Speed. With base 120 Speed, we are able to outspeed dangerous threats with minimal investment (depending on what it is), as well as outspeeding +1 Salamence, one of the threats that this CAP needs to be able to deal with, and a ton of others. With no Speed at all, we sit at 276 Speed, which already outspeeds a large amount of sweepers, such as Gyarados and Tyranitar. Since we have this much Speed, we are able to use a +(Special) Defense nature and still outpace +1 Salamence and the likes. Also, we don’t need to use a lot of Speed in general, because this CAP is unlikely to try and outpace Pokemon like Dugtrio, meaning we can outspeed what we want and we will most likely have more than enough EVs to use in the other stats. So basically, the Speed is not used for offensive purposes, it's used for defensive purposes.
Speed Landmarks
Below is a list of great Speed landmarks to hit with both neutral and positive natures.
As you can see, base 120 Speed gives this CAP a huge amount of freedom with what it wants to outpace. Whether you want to outspeed Choice Scarf Tyranitar or Dragon Dance Gyarados, you can build your EVs to fit your needs with great success.Code:[B]Neutral Nature[/B] 12 Speed (279): 252 Timid Heatran 16 Speed (280): 252 Adamant Lucario 20 Speed (281): 188 Timid Rotom-A 24 Speed (282): 220 Mild Electivire 36 Speed (285): 252 Jolly Mamoswine, 252 Jolly Dragonite 48 Speed (288): 252 Jolly Gyarados, 212 Timid Rotom-A 80 Speed (296): 252 Jolly Heracross, 252 Jolly Kingdra 92 Speed (299): 252 Timid Rotom-A 100 Speed (301): 252 Adamant Salamence, 252 Adamant Jirachi, 252 Modest Celebi, 252 Modest Zapdos, 252 Adamant Flygon 124 Speed (307): 252 Timid Roserade, 252 Jolly Lucario 132 Speed (309): 216 Jolly Gliscor 168 Speed (318): 252 Jolly Gliscor, 252 Jolly Electivire 220 Speed (330): 192 Jolly Infernape 224 Speed (331): 252 Adamant +1 Tyranitar 212 Speed (329): 252 Jolly Salamence, 252 Jolly Jirachi, 252 Timid Celebi, 252 Timid Zapdos, 252 Jolly Flygon [B]Positive Nature[/B] 162 Speed (347): 252 Jolly Infernape 176 Speed (352): 252 Timid Gengar, 252 Timid Latias 180 Speed (353): 216 Timid Azelf 218 Speed (360): 252 Modest Jolteon 212 Speed (361): 252 Timid +1 Magnezone 216 Speed (363): 252 Timid Starmie, 252 Timid Azelf 224 Speed (365): 252 Jolly +1 Tyranitar [B]Neutral Nature + Choice Scarf[/B] 0 Speed (414): 252 Jolly Weavile, 252 Jolly Aerodactyl, 252 Timid Jolteon, 252 Adamant +1 Kingdra, 252 Adamant +1 Gyarados 12 Speed (417): 252 Timid +1 Heatran 16 Speed (420): 132 Adamant +2 Metagross 40 Speed (429): 232 Modest +2 Empoleon 48 Speed (432): 252 Jolly +1 Gyarados 80 Speed (444): 252 Jolly +1 Kingdra 96 Speed (450): 252 Adamant +1 Flygon, 252 Adamant +1 Jirachi, 252 Adamant +1 Salamence, 252 Modest +1 Zapdos 176 Speed (480): 252 Adamant +2 Metagross, 252 Modest +1 Gengar, 252 Modest +1 Latias 212 Speed (493): 252 Jolly +1 Flygon, 252 Jolly +1 Jirachi, 252 Jolly +1 Salamence, 252 Timid +1 Zapdos 216 Speed (494): 252 Modest +1 Starmie, 252 Modest +1 Azelf [B]Positive Nature + Choice Scarf[/B] 0 Speed (454): 252 Adamant +1 Flygon, 252 Adamant +1 Jirachi, 252 Adamant +1 Salamence, 252 Modest +1 Zapdos, 252 Jolly +1 Kingdra, 252 Jolly +1 Gyarados 60 Speed (480): 252 Adamant +2 Metagross, 252 Modest +1 Gengar, 252 Modest +1 Latias 96 Speed (495): 252 Jolly +1 Flygon, 252 Jolly +1 Jirachi, 252 Jolly +1 Salamence, 252 Timid +1 Zapdos, 252 Modest +1 Starmie, 252 Modest +1 Azelf 172 Speed (525): 252 Adamant +1 Weavile, 252 Modest +1 Jolteon 176 Speed (528): 252 Timid +1 Latias, 252 Timid +1 Gengar 216 Speed (544): 252 Timid +1 Starmie, 252 Timid +1 Azelf
To demonstrate attacks this Pokemon can handle and how much damage it can deal back, below are many defensive and offensive calculations. All of the Pokemon are assuming the highest possible (Special) Attack stat they use (some of them don’t use the highest, so remember this when viewing the calculations).
Defensive Calculations
The following calculations are being done with a spread of 52 HP (414 HP) / 252 Def with a +Defense nature (289 Def) / 124 Spe (307) to outpace Jolly Lucario. The remaining 80 EVs can be placed into any offensive stat or added to HP / Defense / Speed. (You can take out 8 EVs from Special Attack and put them into HP to achieve a Leftovers number at 416).
The following calculations are being done with a defensive spread of 80 HP (421 HP) / 252 SpD with a +Special Defense nature (293 SpD) / 96 Spe (300 Spe) to outpace Timid Rotom-A and neutral natured base 100s. The remaining 80 EVs can be placed into any offensive stat or added to HP / Defense / Speed.Code:Adamant Life Orb 252 Atk +1 Gyarados using Waterfall: 27% - 32% Same Gyarados using Bounce: 28% - 33% Same Gyarados using Earthquake: 89% - 100% Same Gyarados using Stone Edge: 45% - 53% Adamant Life Orb 252 Atk Metagross using Meteor Mash: 12% - 14% Same Metagross using Earthquake: 63% - 74% Same Metagross using ThunderPunch: 24% - 28% Same Metagross using Zen Headbutt: 38% - 45% Adamant Life Orb 252 Atk +1 Salamence using Outrage: 85% - 100% Same Salamence using Earthquake: 95% - 100% Same Salamence using Dragon Claw: 57% - 67% Adamant Life Orb 252 Atk +2 Lucario using Close Combat: 98% - 100% Same Lucario using Crunch/ExtremeSpeed: 44% - 51% Same Lucario using Ice Punch: 21% - 24% Same Lucario using Stone Edge: 55% - 64% Adamant Life Orb 252 Atk +2 Infernape using Close Combat: 94% - 100% Same Infernape using Flare Blitz: 47% - 56% Same Infernape using ThunderPunch: 39% - 46% Adamant Choice Band 252 Atk Tyranitar using Crunch: 44% - 51% Same Tyranitar using Stone Edge: 55% - 64% Same Tyranitar using Aqua Tail: 16% - 19% Same Tyranitar using Earthquake: 72% - 86% Adamant 252 Atk Machamp using DynamicPunch: 36% - 42% Same Machamp using Ice Punch: 9% - 10% Same Machamp using Earthquake: 47% - 56% Same Machamp using Stone Edge: 24% - 28% Adamant Choice Band 252 Atk Scizor using U-turn: 37% - 44% Same Scizor using Bullet Punch: 8% - 9% Same Scizor using Superpower: 43% - 50%

The following calculations are being done with 80 SpA (216 SpA). I decided to just show the calculations on the special side due to the stronger and greater special attacks it may have access to. I also did not go through every single Pokemon, just enough for you guys to get the idea of the power my spread holds.
Thank you for reading and I hope you consider my spread for CAP 10. :)Code:[B]Hydro Pump[/B] 248 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Scizor: 42% - 49% 252 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Metagross: 35% - 42% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Gyarados: 18% - 21% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Salamence: 22% - 25% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Lucario: 57% - 67% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Rotom-A: 46% - 55% 252 HP / 0 SpD Relaxed Swampert: 32% - 38% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Flygon: 48% - 56% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Heatran: 69% - 82% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Infernape: 100% 0 HP / 0 SpD Jolly Jirachi: 35% - 41% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Jolteon: 46% - 54% 160 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Tyranitar: 41% - 49% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Gengar: 58% - 68% 252 HP / 0 SpD Jolly Gliscor: 85% - 100% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Starmie: 26% - 31% 252 HP / 0 SpD Bold Suicune: 13% - 15% 252 HP / 0 SpD Bold Zapdos: 34% - 40% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Magnezone: 46% - 54% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Latias: 16% - 19% [B]Surf[/B] 248 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Scizor: 33% - 39% 252 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Metagross: 28% - 33% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Gyarados: 14% - 17% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Salamence: 17% - 20% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Lucario: 45% - 53% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Rotom-A: 37% - 44% 252 HP / 0 SpD Relaxed Swampert: 25% - 30% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Flygon: 37% - 44% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Heatran: 56% - 66% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Infernape: 85% - 100% 0 HP / 0 SpD Jolly Jirachi: 28% - 33% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Jolteon: 37% - 43% 160 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Tyranitar: 33% - 39% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Gengar: 35% - 54% 252 HP / 0 SpD Jolly Gliscor: 67% - 80% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Starmie: 21% - 24% 252 HP / 0 SpD Bold Suicune: 10% - 12% 252 HP / 0 SpD Bold Zapdos: 27% - 32% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Magnezone: 36% - 43% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Latias: 13% - 15% [B]Thunderbolt[/B] 248 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Scizor: 33% - 39% 252 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Metagross: 28% - 33% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Gyarados: 100% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Salamence: 34% - 40% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Lucario: 45% - 53% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Rotom-A: 18% - 22% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Heatran: 28% - 33% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Infernape: 42% - 50% 0 HP / 0 SpD Jolly Jirachi: 28% - 33% 160 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Tyranitar: 17% - 21% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Gengar: 35% - 54% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Starmie: 83% - 97% 168 HP / 0 SpD Bold Vaporeon: 45% - 53% 252 HP / 0 SpD Bold Suicune: 42% - 49% 252 HP / 0 SpD Bold Zapdos: 27% - 32% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Magnezone: 18% - 21% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Latias: 13% - 15% [B]Ice Beam[/B] 248 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Scizor: 11% - 13% 252 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Metagross: 9% - 11% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Gyarados: 19% - 23% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Salamence: 91% - 100% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Lucario: 15% - 17% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Rotom-A: 24% - 29% 252 HP / 0 SpD Relaxed Swampert: 17% - 20% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Flygon: 100% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Heatran: 5% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Infernape: 14% - 17% 0 HP / 0 SpD Jolly Jirachi: 9% - 11% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Jolteon: 24% - 29% 160 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Tyranitar: 11% - 13% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Gengar: 30% - 36% 252 HP / 0 SpD Jolly Gliscor: 89% - 100% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Starmie: 14% - 16% 168 HP / 0 SpD Bold Vaporeon: 7% - 9% 252 HP / 0 SpD Bold Suicune: 7% - 8% 252 HP / 0 SpD Bold Zapdos: 35% - 42% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Magnezone: 12% - 14% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Latias: 34% - 40% [B]Fire Blast[/B] 248 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Scizor: 100% 252 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Metagross: 47% - 56% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Gyarados: 12% - 14% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Salamence: 15% - 17% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Lucario: 75% - 89% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Rotom-A: 31% - 37% 252 HP / 0 SpD Relaxed Swampert: 11% - 13% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Flygon: 16% - 19% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Infernape: 18% - 21% 0 HP / 0 SpD Jolly Jirachi: 46% - 55% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Jolteon: 31% - 36% 160 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Tyranitar: 7% - 8% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Gengar: 39% - 46% 252 HP / 0 SpD Jolly Gliscor: 29% - 34% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Starmie: 17% - 20% 168 HP / 0 SpD Bold Vaporeon: 9% - 11% 252 HP / 0 SpD Bold Suicune: 9% - 10% 252 HP / 0 SpD Bold Zapdos: 22% - 27% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Magnezone: 61% - 73% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Latias: 10% - 12% [B]Flamethrower[/B] 248 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Scizor: 87% - 100% 252 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Metagross: 37% - 45% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Gyarados: 9% - 11% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Salamence: 11% - 13% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Lucario: 60% - 70% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Rotom-A: 24% - 29% 252 HP / 0 SpD Relaxed Swampert: 8% - 10% 0 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Flygon: 12% - 15% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Infernape: 14% - 17% 0 HP / 0 SpD Jolly Jirachi: 37% - 44% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Jolteon: 24% - 29% 160 HP / 0 SpD Adamant Tyranitar: 6% - 7% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Gengar: 30% - 36% 252 HP / 0 SpD Jolly Gliscor: 22% - 27% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Starmie: 14% - 16% 168 HP / 0 SpD Bold Vaporeon: 7% - 9% 252 HP / 0 SpD Bold Suicune: 7% - 8% 252 HP / 0 SpD Bold Zapdos: 18% - 21% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Magnezone: 48% - 58% 0 HP / 0 SpD Timid Latias: 8% - 10%
