The trick here is to use odd numbered elements wherever possible. Most stable
isotopes of odd numbered elements have an even number of neutrons, so adding a
proton results in an even-even nucleus which is (nearly?) always stable.
E.g. Cu63 + p => Zn64 which is stable.
Cu65 + p => Zn66 also stable.
Al27 + p => Si28.
etc.
Unfortunately this means that Pd, Ti, and Ni are all bad choices. ;)
