1. Nucleon wrecks. Absolutely. And with the limited range of canon Pokemon Uranium has, there doesn't really appear to be a hard counter to it that doesn't need a specific set to do any damage or dies in one hit.
2. That said, I'd be in favor of a two-week suspect test, though honestly I also wouldn't raise a fuss if it was quickbanned.
3. From what I gather a lot of the threat with Nucleon comes from the same effect Kyogre has in Uber- your team either revolves around running it or countering it. However, my memory may be messing with me, but I think Garchomp had that effect in Gen 4 OU as well and it wasn't banned. (I think. I honestly don't remember clearly.)
Agreed with your points. Chompy was banned in gen 4 for its overcentralization, I was there. This is another argument to be made for nucleon, but people were focusing on its power so so was I.
