And funnily enough I've seen stuff on fanfiction that puts Fred Weasley prankster no. 1 in Ravenclaw.

Pranking itself seems like a Gryfindoor/Ravenclaw trait because it involves adventure and creativity. All the pranksters were know were in Gryfindoor: James Potter, Sirius Black the Weasley twins. So putting someone in Slytherin just because they played pranks does not make sense.

A Slytherin would try not to play pranks as they value their reputation and success; they would logically consider pranking a waste of time unless it reaches levels of bullying or a way to achieve power but never to make people laugh. Like seriously pure blood Sirius from pure blood family didnt get into slytherin and his pranks were very harsh.

All the Slytherins we know are very serious and ambitious and responsible. Stuff Jack is allergic to, even If the sorting hat did consider (which I highly doubt it would) Jack would probably starts screaming a out how he doesn't want to be a Slytherin. He'd much rather go see what cool stuff the Ravenclaw kids were doing and talking about like Luna.
