The humor is so sharp, so witty, so subtle, in fact, that you'd almost swear there wasn't any at all.

It's a semi-unofficial tier that it still referenced by the Smogon statistics.  Basically it's the bottom rung, it's the NU of NU and it's name is a pun.  It doesnt have official status for battling servers on smogon but they accept it as a tier that exists so I will edit the tier list thread with this as it's useful information if you want to make the big NU tier smaller to have even lower down battles.
Using the same methods as determining other tiers, all the most used NU mons in NU are banned from PU and everything under that is allowed.

Here are the banned NU mons going by the recent March Shifts:
Quote
Charizard Wartortle Raichu Vileplume Kadabra Golem Haunter Exeggutor Marowak Weezing Tangela Jynx Pinsir Tauros Flareon Quagsire Misdreavus Miltank Ludicolo Swellow Gardevoir Ninjask Camerupt Torkoal Cacturne Altaria Armaldo Absol Gorebyss Regirock Torterra Luxray Bastiodon Floatzel Drifblim Skuntank Lickilicky Magmortar Leafeon Probopass Rotom-S Serperior Emboar Samurott Musharna Gurdurr Sawk Garbodor Cinccino Duosion Sawsbuck Amoonguss Alomomola Eelektross Cryogonal Braviary

so that leaves all these mons to be used in PU:

It would be so funny if this became a tier, but NU in my mind is meant to be relatively large and diverse.

Maybe in Gen 6 if NU gets really overcrowded, PU will be official.

PU, I wonder what it stands for other than the obvious  Cheesy
