Can You Beat Pokemon Uranium With Only Nuclear Types? (Banned Pokemon Fan Game)

Welcome to Pokemon Uranium, a game that was barred from release by Nintendo. In this game we explore the Tandor Region where Pokemon have become mutated and corrupted due to fallout from nuclear reactors. Watch as I beat this incredible fan game only using the brand new type it introduces, Nuclear! Along the way we’ll try to uncover the secrets behind our mother’s disappearance and the strange happenings across the region.

Man, I loved this game. One of the few fan games I've played multiple times. So many good fakemon, but I'll have to say my fave nuclear type is the eeveelution, for all the reasons you mentioned. Nuclear type hyper voice is busted. Not to mention, it's so cute!

[@CGA_YT]

Choice specs nucleon was a different animal - did such a good job with the sprite too!

[@masterblaster2678]

One of my favorite designs is Linkite. It is a substitute doll (because it forgot its own appearance in life) chained to a Pokéball (because it died in a Pokéball). To evolve it, you have to trade it. Then it becomes a nightmare-fuel monstrosity who "seeks revenge on the trainer who abandoned it", the person who traded it away. Really cool concept.

The level jumps in Uranium are crazy. And it’s actually pretty hard. There’s a ton of grinding you need to do, along with smart battling. My final team was something like Nucleon, Garlikid, Seikamater, Inflagetah, Metalynx I added a Yatagaryu for the postgame

[@danielkilworth1076]

I love this game. And I think you could have started using nuclear Pokemon way earlier, since there's a mystery gift for a hazma I'm pretty sure

[@CGA_YT]

It was honestly done so well - interesting I had no idea there was a mystery gift

[@TheTaintedWisdom]

1:58 - By trading with yourself via the use of multiple files you can start the game with any Pokemon while only taking part in 2 mandatory battles. Though, level-wise, the only way to get a Nuclear at an appropriate level is by trading the MG Nuclear Pahar/Hazma since they're the only ones you can get that are around lv5. Even so, since disobedience is baked into nuclear types, it won't take long for opponents to start becoming more than you could handle even if you brought in one from Epsilon. 11:07 - I tested this multiple times and I could not get this to happen even once. Either the circumstances required to trigger this are very strict, or it was fixed in the 1.2.5 update. 11:29 - Clever... That's one of those things that's easy to forget. I literally just used HP Ground on a Super Effective target even though neutral STAB Psychic would've done more damage a few minutes ago while watching this. 14:57 - Me: (Hears "My ass medic") (Looks closer at the name and realizes that it could also be read as "My Ass, Me Dick") That's the fastest a Pokemon name has been ruined for me, as well as, in part, *BY* me... 18:00 - Speaking of which, if it seemed like the Water and Fire Gyms were harder, it's because they were. The game had a glitch that made Seikamater's Elementalist Ability not boost Electric-Type attacks as it should, and apply the boost to Fire and Water moves to *ALL* Pokemon in the game. However, thankfully, the game *FINALLY* got a new patch for the first time in nearly half a decade that fixed that glitch so the game is *MUCH* more balanced on that front as a result. (Among many other changes, it also added the ability to skip the intro for those who have already beaten the game, which helps save a good amount of time.) 18:58 - I've been playing this game for years and this is my first time seeing that because I've played with battle animations off 99.9% of the time. 26:12 - My guess is you were looking at the Wiki page and mistook Mega Syrentide's stats with its normal form and assumed you wouldn't be able to get over its giant Sp DEF booty.

[@CoralReaper707]

It would be cool if there was a sequel or a remake of Uranium that sort of "stabilized" the nuclear type and made it more like a regular type instead of just being super effective against everything.

[@shockdoggo6889]

I really like the idea of nuclear types, a type thats extremely powerful offensively but super frail defensively

[@gone9820]

I'm so glad to see Dramsama at 14:45 !! it's my favourite Uranium fakemon because it's based on a game named Hatoful Boyfriend.

[@marioruiz5758]

I liked this game, however, i feel like nuclear type was poorly implemented. The no obey mechanic makes it unusable for most of the game (except nucleon) and being super effective against everything but steel type makes it so most things are x4 weak against it. I was able to cheese the very hard endgame by spaming choice scarf nuclear type hyper voice with nucleon

[@whyplaypiano2844]

Agreed. It's hard to make a whole new type and game I'd imagine. Love the concept, but it was just okay execution

[@ThrE3-GeS]

Get a half nuclear and half steel type pokemon and you have a really good typing. With a double resistance to nuclear and a normal resistance against poison. It would also get 4 times weakness to fight, fire and ground. But in turn would loose most of the weaknesses from the nuclear type taking now neutral hits from normal, bug, flying, rock, steel, grass, psychic, ice, dragon, fairy As dark, ghost, water and Electric are still very effectiv. And your stab nuclear attacks would be very effectiv against all other types besides nuclear and steel. But a ground move like earthquake, to deal with steel types, most mons can learn especially steel type mons can learn earthquake and other ground type moves.

[@ihavethebrainofarat2309]

I know this is an old comment, but the only Nuclear / Steel type is an unobtainable nuclear form. I won't say any in-game story context to it due to major spoilers, but even if you could catch it, it'd only be possible in the endgame or post-game as its nuclear form is only in one encounter in the entire game and is uncatchable, even if found in a randomizer.
