There were no peak winners for this challenge due to the lack of posts.

I will congratulate smub for doing an excellent job winning the W/L ratio for Ground.
I will also congratulate MetaRiolu7 for winning the W/L ratio for Dragon.

I will also shout out our platinum ranks:
Guwahavel (both)
GnralLao (Ground)
Smub (Ground)

Monotype Core Laddering Challenge Season 2 Cycle 2
SM Challenge #8
2 Cores, September 24 - October 4

Flying

Tornadus-Therian + Thundurus-Therian
Tag : CCS2Fl2
Hall of Fame Rankings:
Platinum: 1600+
Gold: 1475+
Silver: 1350+
Bronze: 1250+
*New*
Tornadus Therian - Tornadus Therian can be a solid offensive pivot, a decent special bulky attacker, and even a physical sweeper! With access to moves like Defog, Hurricane, Knock off, Acrobatics, Heat Wave and U-turn, the role that Tornadus Therian can fulfill is purely based on the composition of the team.
Thundurus Therian - Thundurus Therian is a somewhat niche sweeper with the useful ability in Volt absorb, allowing it to not be pressured by Electric-type moves. It also has quite an expansive movepool that allows it to be either a Double-dance attacker, or a Choice Scarf revenge killer.



Steel


Lucario + Klefki
Tag: CCS2St2
Hall of Fame Rankings:
Platinum: 1600+
Gold: 1475+
Silver: 1350+
Bronze: 1250+
*New*
Lucario - Steel is usually known for its fatter builds, but Lucario is here to show that more offensive builds can also work in this metagame. With access to Swords Dance, Meteor Mash, Close Combat, Ice Punch, and Zen Headbutt, this wallbreaker can break through a lot of commonly used walls like Mega-Venusaur, Celesteela, Toxapex, and Mandibuzz. Extreme Speed also allows it to potentially clean weakened teams after a Swords Dance, which with proper team support Lucario can do easily.
Klefki - Klefki is well known for being used on Fairy, but it can also be used on Steel as well to function the same way it does on Fairy. It allows its offensive core to take less damage from opposing Pokemon and can even set Spikes to help vs balance teams like water that switch out frequently.


Note: This project is now lead by Namranan and cohosted by Perish Song. So now all questions and suggestions regarding to CLC should be directed towards us now and not Illama, the former leader.
