Will skipping drops be an option for voting? Dead serious tbh, none of these things particularly seem good to me, (either for the metagame or in general) except one (and that's a solid 7/10) so let me talk about it.
Maroligatr-Alola is a pretty cool Wallbreaker. We already have a Water Ghost type, but the roles these Pokémon perform are vastly different from each other and would rarely overlap, if at all. The only other Water type wallbreakers are Kingtsar and offensive Toucosta, and I think it has enough differences to separate them from the two. I understand the worries about Poltergeist and Aqua Jet (it's best moves with no secondary effects) having Disable coded into it, but I don't even think this Pokémon will ever use Poltergeist seeing that it has Sheer Force boosted STAB Shadow Bone in its arsenal. Some major flaws is it being what I believe is the slowest Offensive Ghost type in a tier with plenty Ghosts and without packing Shadow Sneak to pick them off. Also the tier has recently been swamped with plenty of Dark types and Water type checks are stronger than ever, so it may have a bit of a harder time than it thinks in mindlessly spamming STABs. Even with these flaws, the raw power behind this Pokémon (102 Atk + SF if you losing track) makes for an interesting Wallbreaker and will surely be collecting my vote, as it's been my favorite new gen addition for awhile.

Maroligatr-Alola @ Life Orb
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Ability: Terrorizer
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance / Dragon Dance
- Liquidation
- Shadow Bone / Poltergeist
- Ice Punch / Aqua Jet / Earthquake
Pick if you want to either break fat by itself (seriously, find what handles dual STAB + EQ with SD reliably) or be an interesting if not slightly slow DDance sweeper. Liquidation would be mandatory, and the choice between Shadow Bone and Poltergeist is less about power over Hax, and more about how worried you are about Beak Blast Toucasta being on the opposing side. Last slot goes for classic coverage for Grasses and Dragons, or priority to hit offense for SD, and EQ specifically nails Ferros and Volquag, who could probably annoy the hell out of it otherwise
