Hey here's one of the quickest updates for this series I'll probably ever do in a long while. so hope you fan's enjoy
Next up in this five part type segment is the Alchemist type. Now this is one of my personal favorite types due to the transmute ability. Seriously have them hold an item and for a while then bam check on it later and it's a different item of the same type! (Envy, Ling stop giving me those looks. Wait Envy why are YOU giving me the kicked puppy look, I thought you hated…. Spoke way too soon on that one… You know you bit me so many times I hardly feel it anymore right?)
Ahem, sorry about that. Anyways the Transmute ability is really useful and personally I use it most for berries. One example is if you give let's say an Edward a pecha berry, wait for a while on it then it will turn into another berry that's also sweet in nature like a Nanab berry. However if you give an alchemist type something like a regular pokeball, it will become an Alchemyball with the appropriate symbol on it.
On a side note only an Alchemyball can be used to catch the Alchemymon here in Amestris as the alchemic arrays and symbols are what catch them and keep them contained. Normally you have to hand make your own and hope for the best since you have to make sure you add proper alchemic symbols for it to work. This is made a whole lot easier when you give an ordinary pokeball to an Alchemist type since they know all the arrays naturally. Though if you want a six prong array you have to do that yourself… They refuse to do that one the most.
Alchemist types are strongest against Homunculus types and Chimera types, but are weak against Military types and Xingese types.
If you want a team of them the best ones to have on a team would be a Roy, Kimblee, an Edward or it's final stage Fullmetal, and an Alphonse. I highly recommend having an Alphonse if you have either an Edward or Fullmetal on your team because the Alphonse will help with keeping them, relatively calm. I also only recommend having a Kimblee if you are an expert on raising Alchemymon or have a lot of patience for it's explosive tendencies. (OW FUCK! Envy what the hell?! Look I already told them about you and the other Homunculi types in the last one! You can't seriously be jealous over tha- Envy! No you are not going to write on here! Envy stop it! YOU KNOW THIS IS THE REASON WHY I PREFER THE ALCHEMIST TYPES!)
Sigh sorry about that. Let me tell you the best advice ever on teams… Never have an Alchemist type or a Homunculus type on the same team… that is a recipe for both disaster and having a whole bunch of headaches.
