So we're not doing the Uranium thing of Expunge just making Nuclear pokemon more obedient/less unruly/more like their original personalities without completely purifying them (i.e. they still have the type and the appearance that comes with it)?

Not without tweaking with Expunge a bit to pull that off via making it a Delta Move, which carries its own compensatory downsides to the mix. I want Corrupt Nuclear Pokémon to be High Risk, High Reward Pokémon, with the more powerful/unique ones being more Disobedient than the norm so that their is ALWAYS a sense of danger/threat to them, but they have Powers that make them desirable still. Decorrupting them give you a more obedient/safe Pokémon, but it takes away what made them powerful/risky in exchange.

But as much a Nuclear Gyarados is powerfull, I still gona hunt and train a Hazma. I dont like to repeat pokemons with the same type normally. Except Zeus and Melchior, they are necessary and awesome. Besides, I want to use Gyarados in battles, and I cant simple let a Nuclear Gyarados around the place.

I would say yes to the first outcome. Drugs have a loooong recovery period, unless you use the appropriate curative Item to treat the condition.

Fair enough! Gyarados is more useful in its Base Form anyway, since its bulk lasts MUCH longer that way and its more controllable, and the risk posed by Expunging it is minimal! Finding a Hazma, though....that will be difficult.

And of course Turbo doesn't have a treatment according to my notes...lovely...

(…) How it is the chance of find a Hazma in the nuclear facility Windos?
