Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Here's Clippy (again) reminding you of the jumps:

Magnezone - RU to OU
Quagsire - PU (to ZU) to UU
Roserade - PUBL to RU
Politoed - ZU to RU
Garbodor - ZU to NU

I'm posting this again to be sure. (Sorry mods)
Here's Clippy reminding you of the jumps so far:
Barraskewda - RU to OU
Slowking-Galar - RU to OU
Quagsire - PU (to ZU) to UU
Landorus - DNU to DOU
With Barraskewda having a potential to drop, it'll be likely be removed from the list. This list...

It's been known that the lower cutoff had it's problems too. IE. When the Pokemon stuck at the higher tiers while being unviable.

Barraskewda - RU to OU
Slowking-Galar - RU to OU
Landorus - DNU to DOU
On THAT note, Ditto's usage was below 4.52% on PU. Therefore, unless I'm missing something...
While I mentioned speaking with your tier council in regards to banning broken mons, I would also suggest encouraging top players in higher tiers to give the mons some love. But that would get the side effect of some other mons dropping.
