Scrapped Pokémon[]
Dunterach[]
Dunterach, a Ground/Dragon Pokémon, was planned as an alternate evolution for Dunsparce. It was removed, and later replaced by the official Pokémon Sableye.
Ultichim[]
According to a post in DeviantArt made by Twitch, Ultichim was supposed to be a mid-stage evolution of Chimical. However, it was not included in Uranium.
Bukial and Velbone lines[]
Two evolutionary lines were originally planned for Uranium's release-Buckial and Bucksaur, a Rock/Fire type line, and Velbone and Velociskull, a Rock/Dark type line. They were based on a stegosaurus and velociraptor respectively and were intended to be the fossil Pokèmon of the game.
Their sprites were present in beta 2.0, though no unique data was associated with them. They were replaced by Glaslug, Glavinug, S51, and S51-A in later versions of the game.
An updated Velbone sprite was designed in 2019, and was used for a Jungore Mystery Gift for the 3rd anniversary.
Unnamed Pokémon[]
Two unnamed Pokémon, based on Hippogriffs, were shown in a dex from 2009. They were Normal/Flying-type Pokémon. They were replaced by Swablu and Altaria. (see below).

Preyter and Preyuder[]
According to a post in DeviantArt made by JV and to info in the Pokémon Uranium Tumblr, there would be two Ground and Grass-type Pokémon Pokémon known as Preyter and Preyuder. They were scrapped and replaced by Corsola and Corsoreef.
Dhoosnowl[]
An official post by JV shows that there would be an Ice/Flying-type called Dhoosnowl (sometimes referred as Dhoosnown), it was originally designed by PEQUEDARK-VELVET.It was scrapped in a later beta.
Tinead and Zumbread[]
An official post by JV shows that there would be 2 Pokémon called Tinead and Zumbread (sometimes referred as Zubread or Zubrad), they were both intended to be Normal and Steel type. Tinead is referenced by a NPC in Moki Town in beta 1.0, despite this they seem to be unavaible in said beta. They were scrapped in a later beta.
Unnamed feline Pokémon[]
An unused Pokémon most likely a feline, its typing and name are unknown.The sprite has a green background, unlike other sprites which are transparent. Twitch has stated on her DeviantArt that she likes using a green background when creating sprites implying that this sprite may be unfinished and was to be worked on or redesigned later. Its internal sprite number is 000, which is shared with Dhoosnowl, the unnamed chameleon, and Tinead and its evolution.
Unnamed chameleon Pokémon[]
An unnamed chameleon Pokémon, its typing and name are unknown. Its internal sprite number is 000, which is shared with Dhoosnowl, the unnamed feline, and Tinead and its evolution. It appears to be a pre-evolution of the official Pokémon Kecleon.

Early Sprites[]
Early Maps/Layouts[]
Early maps with connections[]
An early image of Tandor Maps. One of the things it shows is an early map of Route 10, which may indicate that Baykal Rainforest was developed seperately from Amatree Town. It also shows an unknown water route underneath route 3, this is actually a water route numbered 5 connected to Gerlarp Town.
Gerlap Town[]
In the files of beta 1.0 through 3.0, there is an unused town called Gerlarp Town. Judging by the image it's a small coastal town that probably would have been visited shortly after Bealbeach City, it was inten. It contains the typical PokeCenter and PokeMart along with a few houses, in beta 1.0 it also had a lighthouse. It was planned to have a fishing contest. It's listed as a subarea of Baykal Forest in beta 1.0, but got its own area as of beta 2.0. It's possible that it was reworked into Angelure Town, as both are surrounded by ocean and are planned to have a fishing contest.
North of the town is a water route called route 5 in Beta 1.0, this water route was divided into two maps and was likely planned to connect to Route 3. This map was cut in 2.0 and later versions.
There's another map that is listed as a subarea to Gerlap Town however the layout doesn't match up with the main map. It could be an early version of Bealbeach City.
New Town[]
An unused town within beta 2.0, it shares some similarities with Legen Town and was possibly either a precursor or reworked into Legen Town It has a northern and eastern gate, and a cave entrance to the south. It uses a remix of Dewford similarly to Legen Town.
Early Layouts[]
Early Items[]
Tandnum Ball[]
The Tandnum Ball is an unused ball within beta 1.0. It seems to be a precursor to either the Atom or Nuclear Ball.
Sticker Case[]
A case which was used to store stickers. Its likely purpose was to store the 6 stickers which were set to be obtained after collecting the 6 Tandor Badges. It copies the description of the Pokè Radar. Using it in beta 2.0 produces a text box with "hi" after the regular "Can't be used here." text.
Old Names[]
- Gym Leader Maria's old name was Rachel.
- Rochfale Tunnel was known as Rochfale Hole in the beta versions of the game.
- Fortog's old name was Fartog.
- Eshouten's old name was Eshowten
- Frosulo's old name was Crystalis.
- Chimaconda's old name was Chimconda.
- Feleng and Felunge's names were swapped.
Old Cries[]
Originally in Pokémon Uranium, a lot of Pokémon in the game (and two canon Pokémon) borrowed their cries from canon Pokémon (or borrowed from another Tandorian Pokémon in three cases), and although a few Pokémon still borrow their cries from canon Pokémon, new cries have been made for a lot of Uranium Pokémon over several updates of the game. Below is a list of Uranium Pokémon whose cries were altered, and what Pokémon their cries were taken from. Note that Spritzee and Aromatisse used Munna and Musharna's cries respectively, despite not being the Pokémon that replaced them (those being Masking and Dramsama).
