Pokemon Uranium is a fan-made game set in the strange Tandor Region. It is renowned for its distinctive original pocket monsters, mega evolutions, challenging gameplay, and grim narrative. Involuntary Twitch and JV originally developed it, but the eventual development was passed on to a new team. A fresh list of radioactive creatures come into the spotlight known as the Nuclear-types.
These Nuclear-types Pokemon stand out as fearsome foes and allies with powerful and interesting designs that give classic Pokemon encounter a thrilling and unexpected twist. In this article, let's explore this game's most unique and fearsome creatures.
Pokemon Uranium Nuclear Types: A brief overview
What are Nuclear types?
Nuclear types in Pokemon Uranium bring a unique twist to the game, similar to the Shadow-type introduced in Pokemon Colosseum and XD. When regular creatures are exposed to excessive radiation, they undergo a corruptive transformation, becoming feral and changing color. Unlike Shadow-type Pokemon, corrupted Nuclear Pokemon can evolve, even through friendship.
Corrupted Nuclear types display heightened aggression, resembling mindless monsters indiscriminately attacking anything in their sight. Trainers can catch these Pokemon, but they may refuse commands.
Throughout the game's storyline, it becomes possible to cure corrupted Nuclear Pokemon, restoring their normal behavior and obedience. Their typing, appearance, and moveset remain unchanged during this process.
All types deal and take supereffective damage from Nuclear Pokemon, except Steel-types. Additionally, they have specially designed and scaled STAB moves. Two abilities favor Nuclear Pokemon: Lead Skin, which grants complete immunity to all Nuclear-type moves, and Geiger Sense, which raises their Special Attack and Attack when a Nuclear-type is in battle.
