VR nominations incoming:
Lucario for C+
Lucario fills the exact same Niche as Sawk, being an inner focus Fighting type to deal with Incineroar, and while Sawk is overall better since it's slightly stronger and bulkier, Lucario's steel type allows it to not be Weak to Psychic or Fairy and also gives it STAB meteor mash, which helps with fairies such as Hatterene and Sylveon, that Sawk's poison jab might not kill. Lucario also has access to Final Gambit which it can use to sometimes get a kill on a mon with a low hp stat such as Hitmontop, all Rotom forms, Raichu-A etc.
Mantine for B-
Mantine is an extremely underrated rain sweeper. The combination of Hurricane and Hydro pump is capable of destroying the entire S, A+ and A rank under rain, and has a good matchup against a lot of other threats too. Mantine's speed is good enough to comfortably outspeed Zeraora/Dragapult and many slower scarfers, while its SpA is good enough to OHKO the likes of Zeraora and Darmanitan-G in rain. It also packs a phenomenal SpDef stat that allows it to take on much most neutral matchups against special attackers such as Primarina. Mantine's biggest flaw is that it vitally requires rain to be good, and therefore loses to teams with slower weather setters unless you're running manual rain.
All of these traits are incredibly similar to Ludicolo (while having a vastly superior Venusaur mu), who is also in B-, which is why I think Mantine belongs there.

2v2 LADDER TOURNAMENT: PREDICTIONS!!!!!!!!!
Lkjc vs Pqs
Lkjc got drafted for 2v2pl and as we all know, drafted players always beat undrafted players. Lkjc clearly has the edge here
Krytocon vs D2TheW
D2 got drafted for 2v2pl and as we all know, drafted players never beat undrafted players.
Krytocon clearly has the edge here
Snom gang :)

CONTRARY 2V2 LADDER TOURNAMENT PREDICTIONS
Lkjc vs pqs
This match could go either way tbh. they both know what they're doing and they're both in snom gang so I'm not going to vote for one over the other
Krytocon vs D2TheW
Despite evidence to the contrary, I am actually ass at 2v2. Easy win for D2TheW

nyaahallo and welcome back to the pqs predictsTM
Krytocon vsD2TheW - i have no clue how [snom gang] krytocon is not taking this "matchup" (if you can even call it that, being so one-sided) versus this "2v2 council" member who probably only got on there because he got lucky with grimmsnarl para... 95-5.
pqs vs Lkjc - i got a fucking heat frosmoth set (we have to bring mommy snommy every game) but maybe lkjc can take this because he is a resident snom gang user. 50-50.

What’s up 2v2 thread and I’m a 2v2 room voice which means my opinions are basically fact when it comes to 2v2 related matters so here are my
EPICCCC 2v2 ML TOUR PREDICTIONS
Krytocon vs D2theW - Kryto def takes the dubski here. D2 is a good 2v2 player and he’s like on the council (and only good players are council members) but Kryto uses jailmew and sleep powder venusaur and that level of BS is gonna overtake D2’s very honest and non problematic teams. Also D2 has gone 0-2 in the prestigious 2v2PL Tournament and Kryto is undrafted and everyone knows Drafted players never beat undrafted players
Lkjc vs pqs - Pokémon Showdown’s RNG is rigged af so it actually depends on when they fight. If it’s before 5 o’clock pqs takes the W cause he’s been cultivating his luck stat apparently. But if it’s after 5 then pqs is dog shite and is gonna get parahaxed, frozen, flinched and crit out in the same game. Even if it looks like pqs is in the lead he's gonna miss a hydro or heat wave and lose. Like if its after 5 don't bother rooting for pqs cause he's already lost at that point
