Idea to fix the nuclear type

[Dragonstrike]

An in-game nerf to the type as a whole does seem rather extreme when you put it that way. I am also perfectly fine with playing a meta where no nuclear types are allowed at all. With regards to the one where they are allowed, it seems as if all the good ones are doomed to receive the ban hammer and then both metas will be functionally identical. Then, what would be the point of having separate metas? I think it would probably be best to follow a Smogon-like example and ban the type as a whole to Ubers, avoiding complexity in the process.

Yeah, that's another possible way to do it too.  However, the problem with that is not all Nuclear types are busted to the point of being uncounterable.  Nuclear Kinetmunk, for example.  The only Nuclear attack it gets is the underwhelming Gamma Ray, which isn't going to be OHKOing much of anything with Kinetmunk's stats (75 Sp Atk is kinda eh).

For now, I do agree that following a Smogon-like process and avoiding complex bans when possible would be an effective plan.  Banning the type as a whole might be a bit extreme, though.

In any case, this isn't a question that's likely to be fully answered today.  Until the Battle Sim is fully updated with the new stuff unique to Uranium (and it's all properly functional), there's not a whole lot that can be done about creating official tier lists.  All we have for the time being is baseline tiers based mostly on speculation and the statistics of every pokemon.
