History Characters / PokemonUranium

* SuperMode: Kiricorn can Mega Evolve.

* RecurringElement: Zigzagged. One might think at first sight that this is Tandor's version of Butterfree, Beautifly, or Vivillion. However, not only does this line take longer to evolve (Level 10 for the first evolution and 24 for the second, as opposed to levels 7 and 10 the above mentioned bugs need to reach in order to evolve), but its stats are immensely better, averting CrutchCharacter.

* WeaksauceWeakness: They can't really handle fire and steel types; not only do they take x2 dmg from them and both of their STAB is resisted, none of their coverage options deal significant damage to either type either. Cubblfly can get Powder for fire, but that's an unreliable option at best, and Nimflora can be taught Superpower, but that has its own drawbacks (and Superpower is only available late in game, notably after both the steel and fire gyms).

* AchillesHeel: Barewl and Dearewl take quadruple damage from Fighting-type attacks.

* RecurringElement: A Rock-type Pokémon that can be found in caves from a very early level, with a three-stage evolutionary line. Basically, they're the Golem and Aggron of Tandor.

* {{Expy}}: Played with. It has many similarties with the Golem line, being a three evolutionary stage Rock-type Pokémon found in caves, that evolve for the first time at level 25 and the second time through trade. However, while Golem is part Ground-type and focuses on Attack and Defense, Astronite is part Psychic-type and focuses on Special Attack and Speed.

* AchillesHeel: Dramsama takes quadruple damage from both Ghost and Dark-type moves.

* SoulPower: Dramsama is part Ghost-type.

* SuperMode: Dramsama can Mega Evolve, becoming even more eldritch in the process.

* OurGorgonsAreDifferent: Arbok's Mega Evolution evokes this; it has multiple small snakes growing around its head, and has the Petrify ability.

* BlackSheep: While they're not any group's actual shameful outcast, they're visually based on this motif by being black-wooled sheep Pokémon and part Dark-type.

* GuesStarPartyMember: He teams up with you three times through the game: first during the entirety of your first trek through Comet Cave (though he runs away when the dungeon boss shows up just before reaching the exit) then against Vaeryn's Gym Battle, and lastly during the Hazard Zone.

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the jerk rival from the earlier Pokemon games. Like Blue, Theo has a huge ego and loves to boast. ''Unlike'' Blue, though, Theo clearly lacks the skill and attitude to back said boasts, and thus has a really hard time taking losses.
* FinalBossPreview: [[spoiler: You get to see the complete team he'll use as the PostFinalBoss when he teams up with you during the 7th gym battle and Nuclear Plant Omicron. That being said, his team at that point doesn't yet have their polished movesets and held items as he has during the final Championship match]]

* PostFinalBoss: [[spoiler: The final and strongest opponent in the Championship. First time around CURIE and Urayne hijack things and serve as the story's FinalBoss, but afterwards the fight with Theo properly takes place and he is in fact the toughest trainer in the game.]]

* DistressedDude: You have to rescue him from the Anthell before the Seikamater turns him into his dinner.

->''For tropes applying to Eevee and its Eeveelutions minus Nucleon, go [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIMagikarpToDragonite here]]''

* AnythingThatMoves: Like Ditto, it can breed with pretty much any Pokémon.

* FlyingSaucer: they are in the shape and form of typically UFO design a flying saucer.

* SSuperHro: has the style and the traits of your your typical [=superhero=] character.

* Superhero: has the style and the traits of your your typical [=superhero=] character.

* MixAndMatchCritters: Being based on a jackalope, Jackdeary is a honred rabbit. Winotinger, who is based on a wolpertinger, adds wings to the mix, and is classified as the "Chimerical Pokémon".

* RecurringElement: He keeps one of the Pokemon he first caught on the very first or second route all the way to the end, even leading his team with it. Depending on the starter, that is Nimflora, Splendifowl or Gararewl, final forms of ComMons Cubbug, Birdie and Barewl respectively.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Has access to sound-based moves like Uproar, Hyper Voice, or Boomburst. Fittingly, both their abilities relate to this: they can become immune to these type of attacks if they have Soundproof, or increase their power with Sound Boost.

* RemovedAchillesHeel: Fur Coat halves damage from physical moves, which covers almost all fighting, rock and steel attackers. Their other ability, Thick Fat, turns Fire and Ice -which they are neutral to- to full on resistances.

* SecretArt: Weirdly enough, the only Pokémon in ''Uranium'' who can learn Mirror Shot.

* RaymanianLimbs: Its ears and tail, as well as its bowtie-like appendage, are not connected to its body.

* RaymanianLimbs: Mega Kiricorn has three rhomboid-shaped blue crystals floating at each side, almost looking like wings.

* RaymanianLimbs: Cometeor and Astronite's right arms aren't attached to their bodies, but held close with their psychic power.

* DittoFighter: Much like Ditto, it can use Transform to mimic the type and moveset of whatever it's currently fighting.
* {{Expy}}: Of Ditto, being able to use Transform and breed with any Pokémon. However, unlike Ditto, it can learn attacks besides Transform.

* VoluntaryShapeshifter: It can use Transform to take on the appearance of whichever Pokémon it's fighting.

* MixAndMatchCritters: Being based on a jackalope, Jackdeary is a honred rabbit. Winotinger adds wings to the mix, and it's classified as the "Chimerical Pokémon".

* SuperMode: All of them case use Mega Evolution, though only Vaeryn, Hinata and Kaito use Mega Evolved Pokemon during their Gym battles.

Nowtoch City's Gym Leader and former Tandor League Champion. She specializes in Normal-type Pokemon.

* NonElemental: She specializes in Normal-type Pokemon.

* WarmUpBoss: She's very easy to defeat, given that her Pokemon are in low levels, use weak moves and lack coverage. On the route to her city, you can catch no less than two Pokemon that can make short work of her team, Mankey (who starts with Low Kick and can learn Karate Chop pretty quickly), and Barewl (A Rock/Steel type Pokemon, meaning it has double resistance to the Normal and Flying-type moves Maria's Pokemon exclusively use). She's also the only Gym Leader who only uses three Pokemon.

* ReusedCharacterDesign: His appearance is based on Roark

Bealbeach City's Gym Leader. A surfer of renown who uses Pokemon that can be found on beaches.

* MakingASplash: Three of her four Pokemon are Water-types.
* MsFanservice: Doesn't wear anything except for a blue bikini, even when you face her in the Pokemon Championship.

Vinoville Town's Gym Leader. A tech nerd who specializes in Steel-type Pokemon.

* TemptingFate: He complains about how living in a quiet, rural town drives him mad with boredom, and wishes something interesting would happen just once. [[spoiler:Cue the power plant to the north blowing up]].

Amatree Town's Gym Leader. A passionate dancer who employs Fire-type Pokemon.

* PlayingWithFire: He's Fire-type specialist.
* PoorPredictableRock: In his Gym Battle at least; all his Pokemon are weak to water, no less than three of them have a double weakness to rock, and none of his Pokemon has coverage moves to deal with types with advantage over Fire.

Venesi City's Gym Leader. A theatre actress who uses Psychic and Fairy-type Pokemon.

Snowbank Town's Gym Leader. A Mega Evolution Master who specializes in Dragon and Ice-type Pokemon.

* AnIcePerson: Most of his Pokemon are Ice-types, and you fight him in a place with constant Hailstorm.

Tsukinami Village's Gym Leaders. The respective leaders of their ninja clans, and a married couple. Hinata uses "day-themed" Pokemon while Kaito uses "night-themed" Pokemon.

* DualBoss: Subverted. You may think that you'll fight the two of them at once in a double battle, as it was the case with [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Tate and Liza]], but nope; you fight the two of them in two single battles ina row.

The game's main villain, Urayne's creator and the player characters' mother. Once a brilliant nuclear physicist who was believed dead when the Nuclear Plant Epsilon suffered a meltdown, she now terrorizes the Tandor region with Nuclear Pokemon.

* AtomicSuperpower: Unsurprisingly, she uses Nuclear Pokemon.
* BenevolentBoss: As horrible as a person as she is, she does seem to legitimately care about Urayne and the rest of her team. She takes the blame when the player defeats her in Nuclear Plant Zeta and Urayne is reverted to their Alpha state. She can even Mega Evolve her Baariette, which requires a deep bond between trainer and Pokemon.

* LukeIAmYourFather: At the end she's revealed to be the main character's lost mother, Lucille. Unlike most versions of this trope, however, it's not revealed until she's finally beaten for good.

A Pokemon Professor with a laboratory in East Tandor. Unlike other professors, he's completely morally bakrupt, and only cares about making money, to the point that he sells tech to villanous teams in other regions.

One of three starter Pokémon of the Tandor Region. A cute green kitten with some metallic parts. It loses much of its cuteness upon evolving into Metalynx, taking the form of a large feline, and its metallic parts become more prominent. Metalynx's main strengths are its Defense, Special Defense and Attack to a lesser extent. Its Mega Evolved form gains quite a boost on Attack and a moderate boost to Defense, as well as the Heatproof ability.

* PantheraAwesome: Metalynx is a large feline with metal blades growing on some of its limbs. Which they get bigger upon Mega Evolving.

* RaptorAttack: It's right in the name. And Archilles is classified as the "Fire Raptor Pokémon"

One of three starter Pokémon of the Tandor Region. A small cute marine creature based on the hippocampus. Stat wise, he appears to be in the middle between Metalynx and Archilles: an even distribution with emphasis on Defense and Special Defense. Upon Mega Evolving, like Archilles, it also gains a pretty big boost to Special Attack and Speed.

* MightyGlacier: Pretty Good defenses and Special Attack. Though upon Mega Evolving, it becomes a(n almost literal) LightningBruiser.
* OurHippocampsAreDifferent: Both are classified as the "Hippocampus Pokemon", though other than being four legged, they don't look much like equines.

A brown squirrel with blue cheeks, ears and tail. It evolves into Kinetmunk, a larger squirrel whose brown fur is now yellow, and blue markers extending across its body. After evolving, it gains the Electric type.

* RecurringElement: A two evolutionary stage rodent that's caught early and evolves at low levels, evoking Rattata, Sentret and Bidoof.

* ShockAndAwe: Kinetmunk is part Electric-type, and Chynimunk can learn a few Electric attacks as well.

[[folder:Birbie, Aveden and Splendifowl]]

A small, round shaped bird with dark blue feathers, yellow tail feathers, and blue marks on its belly. Its evolution Aveden is larger and slimmer. Its final evolution, Splendifowl, is much larger, has a yellow crest that goes all the way to its tail, and adds some red to its mostly blue and yellow plumage.

* ConfusionFu: The line learns an impressive variety of moves. This might seem similar to the theme of normal type mons getting a huge repertoire, but unlike most of these, the Slendifowl line actually has the special attack attack and speed to use it.

* RecurringElement: A Normal/Flying with a three stage evolutionary line, that can be found at the beginning. The Splendifowl line is the Tandor equivalent to the Pidgeot or Staraptor line. Unlike most of these (albeit not all), the line has a focus on on the special end, instead of the physical, and instead of representing a bird of prey or raptor, its based on a bird of paradise.
* SecretArt: Weirdly enough, the only Pokémon who can learn Mirror Shot.

[[folder:Cubbug, Cubblfly and Nimflora]]

* DiscOneNuke: You can get Cubbug as literally your first caught pokemon. It takes a bit to evolve but not too long either, and Bug/Fairy is a very strong typing, and Cubblfly gets Sleep Powder at level 15. Then Nimflora is a strong third stage nearly comparable to the starter with a diverse movepool. They do fall off a bit later on but Nimflora's stats are still serviceable late game, [[spoiler: one of the PostFinalBoss teams in fact has a Nimflora]], and they still come with a powerful movepool.
* MixAndMatchCritters: they're, respectively, a caterpillar, a cocoon and a butterfly mixed with bear parts (mostly the head).

* RecurringElement: Zigzagged. One might think at first sight that this is Tandor's version of Butterfree, Beautifly or Vivillion. However, not only does this line take longer to evolve (Level 10 for the first evolution and 24 for the second, as opposed to levels 7 and 10 the above mentioned bugs need to reach in order to evolve) but its stats, are immensely better, averting CrutchCharacter.

* WeaksauceWeakness: They can't really handle fire and steel types, not only do they take x2 dmg from them and both of their STAB is resisted, none of their coverage options deal significant damage to either type either. Cubbfly can get Powder for fire, but thats an unreliable option at best, and Nimflora can be taught Superpower, but that has its own drawbacks (and Superpower is only available late in game, notably after both the steel and fire gyms)

[[folder:Barewl, Dearewl and Gararewl]]

A Rock/Steel type Pokémon that likes to dwell on caves. Barewl is small, spherical Pokémon with stubby legs, a tail and a hemet covering its head. Upon evolving into Dearewl, they become quadrupeds, as more metal plates grow around their bodies. Their final evolution, Gararewl, becomes larger and slimmer, resembling an equine with long hair. It also loses its Rock-type to become only pure Steel-type Pokémon, and thus the only able to resist Nuclear-type attacks.

* ComMons: The rock one you usually find on caves.

* RecurringElement: A Rock-type Pokémon that can be found in caves from a very early level, with a three stage evolutionary line. Basically, they're the Golem and Aggron of Tandor.

A Poison-type bat-like creature with a furry tail that like to fly around caves. They evolve into Tofurang, a massive behemoth that loses its ability to fly in exchange of a much larger bulk.

* StoneWall: Tofurangs stats focus on HP and defenses, with little in the way of attack or Speed. They aren't very high, though.

->''For tropes applying to Dunsparce, go [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIIChikoritaToGranbull here]]''

Upon learning the Uranium exclusive move Sky Fall, Dunsparce will evolve into Dunseraph, a large snake with two forelegs, two wings on its back and other two smaller wings on the back of its head, and trading its normal type for dual Dragon/Flying types. They also get an even stat boost to match Dunsparce's own even stat distribution, albeit Dunseraph puts more emphasis on Special Attack as well.

[[folder:Fortog, Folerog and Blubelrog]]

Water/Poison-types amphibians, common in the freshwater rivers and lakes of Tandor.

* MightyGlacier: Good HP, Special Attack and Special Defense, but poor Speed.

[[folder:Feleng, Felunge and Feliger]]

* ConfusionFu: Like many Normal types, the line gets access to an immense repertoire of moves, from their native normal to fighting, to all the way to elemental punches and even some psychic tricks. Somewhat downplayed to to their nonexistant special attack locking them out of many of those moves, but they still have access to a very large number of physical moves.
* CutenessProximity: Feleng's main gimmick is this as referenced in its pokedex entry, and it gets Cute Charm (ability) and Charm (move) to boot, which it keeps as Felunge. Looses on Cute Charm when it evolves to Feliger though

* MagicallyIneptFighter: Feliger ties with Cocancer as having the lowest Special Attack of all the fully evolved Pokémon.
* MightyGlacier: Feliger has ''excellent'' HP, Attack, Defense and Special Defense, but mediocre Speed[[note]]with base 65 it does noticeably outspeed the regular StoneWall though[[/note]]. The Lazy ability doesn't help, either.

* NecessaryDrawback: Like its inspiration Slaking, Feliger needs a negative ability in order to stop it from breaking the game. That being said, ''Lazy's'' drawback is vastly easier to sidestep than Truant, especially since it fades away after 2 turns during which Feliger can still punch through Sleep Talk.

* PowerupLetdown: Feliger is a monster with a stat spread making it one of the absolute best MightyGlacier's in the game with a very impressive movepool to support it, but is weighted down by its ability, Lazy. Its pokedex entry even references that trainers are dissapointed when their chipper Felunge evolved into a fat slob. Unlike its inspiration, Slaking, however, Lazy is much easier to circumvent than Truant and Feliger is competitively viable and a powerhouse in the story
* SecretArt: For all that it's worth, Feliger is the only Pokémon that has the Uranium-exclusive ability Lazy.

[[folder:Mankey, Primeape and Empirilla]]

* SecretArt: The only Pokémon to have the Uranium-exclusive ability Infuriate (raises attack by one stage upon being hit with a physical move). Not even its preevolutions have it.

[[folder:Lotad, Lombre and Ludicolo]]

%%* BigCreepyCrawlies: Both of them are Bug-types.

->''For tropes shared with their canonical portrayals, see [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIBulbasaurToParasect here]]''

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Both of them are Bug-types

[[folder:Pahar, Palij and Pajay]]

[[folder:Comite, Cometeor and Astronite]]

Rock-type Pokémon. Comite is a small rock with four tiny legs, and hole on its body where a single eye can be seen. When it evolves into Cometeor, it gains the Psychic type and loses its legs for the ability to float. Upon evolving into Astromite, shedding most of its rocky exterior, revealing a dark humanoid body.

[[folder:Mareep, Flaaffy and Ampharos]]
->''See [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIIChikoritaToGranbull here]]''

[[folder:Baashaun, Baaschaf and Baariette]]

* {{Foil}}: To the Ampharos line. Both lines are three evolutionary stage Pokémon based on sheep that start as four legged with a lot of wool, but become bipeds with less wool that can Mega Evolve, however, while the Ampharos line are monotype (Mega Ampharos excluded), are mostly white and yellow, and focus on Special Attack, the Bariette line is dual typed, are mostly black and blue, and focus on Attack.

Tricwe is a Bug-type Pokémon that looks like a wingless bee. Upon learning Wild Charge, it will evolve into Harylect, gaining the Electrict Type. However, if a female Tricwe reaches level 45 while holding the Royal Jelly item, it will instead evolve into the extremely powerful [[OlympusMons Seikamater]].

%%* BigCreepyCrawlies: Both of them are Bug-types.

* FireIceLightning: A variation. Harylect is the lightning to Firoke's the fire and Sponaree's water (rather than ice).

* ShoutOut: Trawpint is classified as the "[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros the Birdo Pokémon]]"

->''See [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIVTurtwigToBronzong here]]''

* ConfusionFu: aside from their two types and normal, they also learn Flying, Steel and Bug-type attacks through leveling up, giving them a fantastic offensive coverage.

* SuperMode: Drillgan can mega evolve.
* ThisIsADrill: Their theme. Modrille's tail and large nose are drills. Upon evolving into Drillgann, it loses its drill nose, but gains drills on its fangs and all of its claws. Naturally, they learn many drill-based attacks, like Drill Run, Drill Peck or Horn Drill.

->''See [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIIChikoritaToGranbull here]]''

->''See [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIIITreeckoToSharpedo here]]''

[[folder:Cocaran, Caracalm and Cocancer]]

->''For tropes that apply to Corsola, see [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIIQwilfishToCelebi here]]''

[[folder:Cassnail, Sableau and Escartress]]

* PoisonousPerson: Based on cone snails, and albeit not poison types they do get the option of learning several such moves. Comes in handy to kill grass types which otherwise threaten them too.
* StoneWall: Mixed defenses, but gigantic HP and a incredible defensive typing as well access to as Recover. It packs a punch too, with to several ground, poison and ice moves a coming off an impressive 110 special attack. That being said its slow as hell.
* TerrestrialSeaLife: Its based aquatic sea snails, which can only survive very, very briefly out of water (unlike other sea life like clams and crabs). However, the line is only found on the beach, ''not'' in water.

* MagikarpPower: Nupin starts with pretty good Special Attack and its typing gives it an amazing offensive coverage. Unfortunately, it has weak defenses and non-existent speed. Fortunately, upon evolving, it gets a huge boost to them (as well as another boost to its Special Attacks), and is finally able to take advantage of its offensive power and draining attacks.

->''For tropes pertaining to their canon portrayals, see [[Characters/PokemonGenerationVVictiniToZoroark here]]''

->''See [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIIChikoritaToGranbull here]]''

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Uranium's only pure Dragon-type, which resembles a draconic snake with a hand on its tail.

* {{Expy}}: Subverted. Seems like its echoing Dewgong or Lapras right? Having the same typing, similar body shape and stat spread... but no, its based on a completely different animal (a sea slug as mentioned above) that has nothing to do with vertebrates -much less cetaceans- and instead of getting psychic and dragon moves like Lapas or bug and ground like Dewgong, it instead gets fairy and poison options.
* {{Foil}}: Its largely the counterpart of the Cassnail line, becoming available at almost the same point in the game and competing for the primary water slot in a party, and each possessing as secondary typing ice and ground respectively, the best offensive typings in the game. Albeit the Glaslug sports sightly better stats, Cassnail makes up with one of the best defensive combinations and more balanced defensive stats.

A strange Pokémon that ressembles an UFO. Naturally, it is believed not to be native to this planet. You can't find them in the wild; the only one to get one is to complete Ripley's sidequest on Route 8 at night.

* SecretArt: It's only Pokémon that can learn Laser Pulse. S51-A is also the only mon with the Mega Launcher ability.

* SuperMode: It can Mega Evolve. Also, it's the only Pokémon whose needed item to Mega Evolve, The Unidentified Fallen Object, has a name that does not contain its Pokémon's name or the "-ite" suffix.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Has access to sound-based moves like Uproar, Hyper Voice or Boomburst. Fittingly, both their abilities relate to this: they can become immune to these type of attacks if they have Soundproof, or increase their power with Sound Boost.

* LightningBruiser: ''Ohh boy''. Baseline Inflagetah already has base Speed of ''150'', an Attack of 100, and the Acceleration ability to give its many priority moves an additional boost. then, upon Mega Evolving, its Speed shoots up to 175, ''the highest in the whole game'', and its attack rises to 145.

[[folder:Chicoalt, Quetzoralt and Coatlith]]

* SquishyWizard: Good Special Attack, Speed and HP, but poor defenses.

* MightyGlacier: Superb Attack, Defense and HP, mediocre speed.

* AnIcePerson: Excluding Glaceon, it's the only pure Ice-type Pokémon in Uranium.

[[folder:Frynai, Saidine and Daikatuna]]

* StockNinjaWeaponry: The three stages are based on a kunai, a sai and a katana, respectively.

* SirensAreMermaids: Despite her name, the Pokédex describing sailors being enthralled by their voices (and having attacks such as Sing or Perish Song) and being clasified as the "Siren Pokémon", Syrentide looks more like a mermaid than an actual siren.

* WaterIsWomanly: Syrentide is a female, Water/Fairy-type based on sirens and mermaids with an enthralling voice.

[[folder:Spritzee, Aromatisse and Miasmedic]]

->''For tropes applying to Spritzee and Aromatisse, see [[Characters/PokemonGenerationVIChespinToHawlucha here]]''

* ShownTheirWork: Aromatic herbs were placed inside the masks of plague doctors to mask the stench of dead bodies; back then illness was thought to be caused by ''miasmas'', or bad air, and so the herbs were thought to clean the air and keep the plague doctors safe.

* ClassicalChimera: Fittingly for what's classified as the "Chimera Pokémon", they're lions with wings and a snake for a tail. Chimaconda adds horns to the mix.

* BlindedByTheLight: It has Flash ''right from the get-go''.

* ExtraOreDinary: Weirdly enough, it learns a few special Steel type attacks by leveling up, like Mirror Shot and Flash Cannon.

* RecurringElement: A Normal/Flying with a three stage evolutionary line, that can be found at the beginning. The Splendifowl line is the Tandor equivalent to the Pidgeot or Staraptor line.

* * {{Foil}}: Its largely the counterpart of the Glaslug line, becoming available at almost the same point in the game and competing for the primary water slot in a party, and each possessing as secondary typing ice and ground respectively, the best offensive typings in the game. Albeit the Glaslug line sports sightly better stats, the Cassnail one makes up with one of the best defensive combinations and more balanced defensive stats.
