I COULD BE BANNED!
Mega Steelix
Steelix is ridiculous. It has the natural bulk and typing to wall half the tier without even trying, as well as massive attack (383) with great STABS coming in at 100 and 120 bp. Steelix can easily switch in, set SR vs pretty much any physical pokemon bar a choice band fighting attack. It can come in again and again and just wall the absolute shit out of these pokemon, and fire off rly strong attacks. Its kinda hard to properly illustrate how broken this thing is on paper, but if you have played probably 2 matches of NU you realize how broken this thing is.
Ban, no question
Heliolisk
I was pretty on the fence about lizard for a while, but its STAB hyper voice 2hkos too much bulky shit for it to stay in my eyes. 109 power / speed combo is pretty ridiculous in the first place for nu, especially with its perfect coverage. If your opponent has one of the few mons that can tank a hyper voice semi-well (im talking 30-35%, so they can switch in once) you can either nail em with voice then volt switch out, or just volt switch the first time and use that to easily gain momentum. This mon easily forces switches, grabbing momentum all too easily with its coverage preventing any ground types from switching in to block its volt switch. I don't know why this thing is NU on usage, but I guess it can sit in limbo until it moves up to RU, cause its actually pretty decent there too.
