  1. Garbodor: Ban

  3. Garbodor has completely warped the PU metagame around itself, turning it into a spikes-centric mess. It can get up Toxic Spikes once per game in just about every game, and often is able to easily set more if they are removed, especially since the only teams that can commonly afford to run hazard removal are balanced and defensive ones, which give it tons and tons of switch-in opportunities. Garbodor doesn't really care much about hazard removers anyway, since it beats most if not all defoggers with Thunderbolt, Avalugg is easily spinblocked, and it doesn't care about grounded Poison-types either since it can just set Spikes instead. Toxic Spikes and Spikes are ridiculously good in PU, and Garbodor is simply way too good at setting and keeping them.

  5. Glalitite: Ban

  7. Mega Glalie has a few flaws on paper, but in practice these flaws are relatively unimportant. While it has low Speed prior to Mega Evolving, in practice this rarely matters because of Ice Shard and the fact that nearly all PU teams, even offensive ones, have at least one or two slower Pokemon on them, such as Golem, Marowak, Mantine, Tangela, Poliwrath, Regice, and plenty of others, which Glalie can Mega Evolve on if they are worn down a bit. Thanks to Super Fang, Freeze Dry, and its absurd power, Mega Glalie is unwallable. Mega Glalie's absurd power, above average Speed, and lack of a single counter all make it a very broken Pokemon in PU.

  11. I can't really come to a conclusion on this one. While it is absurdly broken under the right conditions and pretty ridiculous against certain playstyles, it also has very limited switch-in opportunities and can't really always force out a lot of the Pokemon it's supposed to force out, mainly due to the fact that they can do large amounts of damage to it in return and that some of them have Sleep Powder. However, it's still absolutely ridiculous in some cirumstances, so I don't really feel comfortable voting either way on it.
