That seems to be one of the best courses of action concerning standard competitive Uranium, yes.
I'm against that. Nuclear-type is one of the things that makes Uranium so unique. Banning that from competitive play, imo, isn't the right decision. Of course, monsters like Nucleon and Urayne must be banned, of course, but there are a few others that may found a niche in competitive uranium, such as Xenoqueen. Xenoqueen is the perfect substitute to Scarf Nucleon as the next scarfed nuclear beast, although a little bit slower, but with more coverage options. I really don't want the last good Nuclear type to be banned from competitive play. I believe that having at least one Nuclear threat to deal with add some interesting things to the metagame. Besides, Hazma and Geigeroach are just underwhelming mons that won't find any viability in an OU environment, but are, theoretically, too strong to an UU environment, and will fall into a BL tier. I don't think banning Nuclear types is the right move, honestly. But that we can only say when there's a real competitive scene to analyse.
