What are some Pokemon/archetypes that are strong in OU, but become weak or niche in CAP? And vice versa, what are some examples of Pokemon/archetypes that struggle in OU, yet excel in CAP? I know that niche field effects like Trick Room are buffed in CAP thanks to Fidgit, and that Psychic Terrain is good here thanks to new defensive staples weak to psychic, like Arghonaut, Venomicon, and Tomohawk, and blocking Hemogoblin's Pixispeed. What are some other examples going in each direction, particularly of specific Pokemon?
Sun is very strong in CAP because Malaconda is infinitely better as a sun setter than Torkoal (no rocks weakness, reliable recovery, slow pivoting with Parting Shot).

On the other side, standard OU HO structures are a lot weaker. For instance, the dark-spam sample team gets eaten alive by Hemogoblin and Revenankh.

I'm sure there are other examples, but these are the 2 on the top of my mind right now.
