I agree with Sylveon dropping but going unranked is taking it a bit far. I mean yes LO Clefable has more coverage and can switch moves (which counts for a lot) but Sylveon is more of a nuke. For example a defensive Lando-T can switch in and stomach a hit from LO Clef without too many problems whereas Specs Sylveon is gonna pretty much bury it. Ok generally Lando isn't the mon you want as your switch-in but in real game scenarios, if you don't need your Lando for anything else you may use it as such a switch-in to try to get some damage off with EQ or SD up to prevent a CM sweep.
The niche of being much more powerful right off the bat is significant enough when you consider that it has just enough coverage to neutralize a number of its potential switch-ins and many others can be taken advantage of by common partners to Sylveon such as Medicham. This is also not really considering stuff like fully specially defensive cleric sets and CM + BP sets - very niche admittedly but a sum of these parts leads me to believe Sylveon should still be ranked in some capacity.
I also agree that Dugtrio should be C+ - trapping is a very powerful mechanic and Dugtrio is capable of removing big time threats like Mega Diancie aside from the obvious Heatran / Ttar.
