If it isn't abundantly clear by now, Uranium's fakemons aren't exactly the most balanced things in the world.

They are indeed. I like it tho. It is unique. Where else would you find a Fire-type with 135 Sp. Attack and Drought or a Water-type with the same amount of Sp. Attack and Drizzle? Uranium is amazing. That's why I keep coming back here from time to time, hoping to see how the competitive scene is doing. I hope the online play is fixed soon, so we can see how those insane Fakemons will do in real battles.

Megazard Y says 'hi'.  159 Sp. Atk with Drought.  Has nothing on M-Archilles's raw speed, though, which is one reason why it'd probably be soooo much more common than 'zard in the main series games if it existed there (the other being the lack of a huge Stealth Rock weakness).  100 speed is a lot easier to outpace than 155.

Primal Groudon/Kyogre also have 180 in their respective offense and a weather ability that summons an even stronger form of sun/rain. (though they ARE legendaries, to be fair). Lanthan is fairly easy to compare to them in terms of raw strength.

Here's another comparison for ya: Yatagaryu to Tapu Koko.  Koko is 10 points faster, but Yata has 25 more Sp. Atk.  And here's a scary thought: Thunderstorm stacks with Electric Terrain in theory, since one is a weather and the other is a Terrain.  Two 50% boosts to the power of Electric moves, Thunder will never miss, and grounded pokemon can't be put to sleep. Sound fun yet?

I think the main difference is that most of Uranium's 'mons aren't super amazing tanks/walls for the most part, so hyper offense-like strategies tend to be really effective/the most common strategie.

I do think the fakemon ideas are really creative, and they're definitely some of my favorite fakemon designs to date.  The competitive meta just isn't very well balanced because of the 'small' number of pokemon. I do hope that online becomes more stable soon(ish). It'd be great to put some of my ideas into practice and see how they do.
