K i'm going to nominate Klinklang move up to B rank. From my experiences klinklang is a really solid mon. Klinklang excels against offensive teams cause of its great boosting move shift gear, which raises 2 speed at 1 attack. After even just 1 shift gear many offensive teams are going to have trouble taking a hit from it and revenging it. And klinklang is very difficult to revenge because it takes little damage from espeed, a jet, and sucker punch, 3 of the most common priority moves. And since it can invest in bulk too it can set up on so many walls mainly the ever so common cresselia that lack hp fire.
Klinklang does has its flaws and requires some team support. Things like Emboar and steelix are pretty good counters to klinklang. While if it runs wild charge then lanturn is another counter to klinklang. But lanturn must watch out for return because return will be an easy 2hko at +1. Also pokes with mach punch can revenge klinklang.
I used subcm uxie along with klinklang to make a deadly sweeping duo. As hardly anything to beat this duo besides steelix, (im not running giga drain) and steelix is handled by the rest of my team and has no recovery. Subcm uxie is also great for luring things klinklang can set up on such as Spiritomb. Another positive about this sweeping duo as they BOTH can beat cresselia and since cress is such a big part in this meta having 2 sweepers being able to beat her is very nice. Klinklang definitely is underated and deserves at least a B Rank
Edit: Also about Piloswine I run the 252 hp 252 atk eviolite set and its really fucking good. It can beat all three main rapid spinners. (Cryo with SE, Sandslash with Icicle spear, Kabu with EQ) Though i choose to run the moveset of SR / icicle spear / Ice shard / eq. Ice shard is really useful for dealing with grass pokes like sceptile and lilligant. And ice shard does like 60% to both of them so u just need to weaken them a little.
Piloswines bulk is crazy good. I run 252 / 252 atk and that set takes a maximum of 70% from CB flare blitz entei. And if you decide to run max def it can avoid the 2hko from entei. Piloswine prollly does deserve C rank but i can definitely see an argument for it being B rank
