Never thought I'd continue this to be honest, but I just got asked this so Hell I hope this helps... also I might just make this a thing as a guide to helping "catch" Alchemymon and how to travel through the region of Amestris


I had gotten asked by a fellow trainer recently on why a Master Ball didn't work on a Ling. Here are two possible reasons for that.

One problem you have a chance of encountering when using a master ball on any Alchemymon is more than likely from a fact that before using it you had forgotten to place an alchemic array onto it. Alchemymon are different than Pokemon in the sense that unless a pokeball has an alchemic array drawn onto it to help contain the Alchemymon it won't work. For different kinds use different arrays, Three prong for regular pokeballs, four for great balls, five for ultra balls and for a master ball, you make the best damned array you can with a whopping six prongs.

The second one… You probably made a three prong array by accident or did something wrong for the six prong. I know I had trouble with the six prong one on my Master Ball when I got it, still have yet to use it anyways and I refuse to use it on any of those hoards of Armstrong that rush at you the moment they seem to sense that someone is in their territory.

No but seriously fuck those Armstrongs, their sparkle ability is stupid and blinding to the point you can't even run away from one.


Hope this helps, and yes I may end up continuing this with any questions you have for the region or Alchemymon (feel free to use these as a guideline or a place to give advice for if you start a Pokemon FMA crossover)
