~EQUIVALENT EXHANGE~
In order to obtain or create something, something of equal value must be lost or destroyed.
Introduction
------------------------------
Hey everyone. Theres a while since I writed my last RMT. I have made many crap teams and totally get bored to pokemon, but now playing with this team pokemon has started to taste good again. There was one pokemon which i definitely wanted to my new team, Jirachi. Jirachi is such an awesome pokemon, his a Full Metal Alchemist. Jirachi has so many variations, so you cant never be 100% percent sure which kind of Jirachi do you face this time. I like my teams synergy i always try to build my teams way that they would have perfect synergy, everything just matches so good. I have enjoyed playing with team and it's imo pretty solid, still theres more to do better. So, i'll soon end this crap talking and release the team for you guys.
Something about name and theme of this thread:
I watched FMA brotherhood and i totally fell in love. It's definitely my number one Anime with Code Geass at this moment. If you haven't seen it, really watch it! :)
And yeah, i'm not copying 360Swampert, i've planned making FMA RMT for a long time. Also, i've tell it to him already. n_n
And finally we get to the team:

Envy
Azelf @ Choice Band
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Def
Jolly nature (+Spe, -SpAtk)
- Zen Headbutt
- U-Turn
- Ice Punch
- Explosion
Why Azelf?
Choice Band Azelf is just so amazing and great lead. I tested this set as a lead summer and definitely wanted it to my next team as a lead. Azelf gives me great advantage from the beginning, which is very important to very offensive team like this. Choice Band Azelf deals big chunk of damage nearly every common lead, at least with Explosion, which is maybe the best thing in this guy. I really would like to see opponents face when i OHKO his Lead Machamp with Zen Headbutt or Lead Metagross with Explosion. Ice Punch is there for taking care of Gliscors and Dragonites, which are quite common leads. U-Turn is maybe the "main attack", anyway it's move i use the most. With Jirachi 2. U-Turner they create nice combo, which helps beating the most popular lead, Aerodactyl. Explosion is just so freaking powerful and awesome holebreaker, which cripples opponents pokemons.
Azelf is Envy, because both of them doesn't look very powerful and dangerous, but inside them lives huge monster.

Roy Mustang
Heatran @ Leftover
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 6 HP
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Substitute
- Explosion
Why Heatran?
Ahh, Heatran. The mister Anti-Metagame, i love irony. Heatran is my second lead, after Azelf has done his job i'll switch Heatran in and KO opponent, Set up Stealth Rocks or Substitute, depends of opponents pokemon. Life Orb Substitute Heatran is extremely powerful but also extremely fast to die. Anyway well played it can deal a lot damage to opponents team and it's very important member to this team while it can also set up Stealth Rocks. Stealth Rocks and power isn't the only reasons why this guy belong into my team, because it has great synergy with other team too. Jirachi and Heatran is nice combo, Heatran absorbs Fire-type Attacks and deals huge damage after boost with Fire Blast, also Heatran is first member my Fire/Water/Grass Core, which builded up accidentally. So, the main job is set up Stealth Rocks, which are always useful and deal so much damage as possible. Now since Swampert sets up Rocks i can use Explosion on Heatran so i can lure ou Bulky Waters and KO them or at least damage them, so Gyarados can sweep a lot safier.
Heatran is named as Roy Mustang, isn't that obvious. Colonel Mustang is a Flame Alchemist, he creates flames just snapping his fingers. Mustang is also very powerful alchemist like Heatran is too as Pokemon. Btw, i'm a Roy Mustang fan. n_n

Scar
Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 12 HP/252 Atk/244 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
- Spore
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Seed Bomb
Why Breloom?
"BRELOOM?! THAT FOCKING BITCH!"
Yeah, Breloom so hated and so loved pokemon. Haters gonna hate, right? Breloom can be so annoying, well "can" and "can" IT IS freaking annoying. Once my opponent said when i switched in Breloom "(BAN ME PLEASE)" and ragequitted. Everyone knows how Breloom works, Spore, Sub and Focus Pawnching. Usually i use it to quick sleeping and try to get him in the play as fast as possible, it gives great advantage always to my team if i get early SporePunching. I just love this Physical Beast. Breloom is also my second member of core where belongs Heatran, Breloom and Kingdra. I have decided to run Seed Bomb for coverage, Breloom is cold stopped by Ghost, example Rotom-A and other pokemons, like Milotic without Seed Bomb. Breloom really can change whole game for my win, his just awesome.
Breloom is named as Scar, because both of them has huge physical strength.
............
Lust
Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 156 HP / 72 Atk / 96 Def / 184 Spe
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Waterfall
- Dragon Dance
- Stone Edge
- Taunt
Why Gyarados?
Gyarados has massive attack stat and it hits with great power. Gyarados maybe the best sweeping partner for Chesto Berry Kingdra for luring in Bulky Water and Starmie, which all are great set up fodders for Kingdra. Also Gyarados has important role for beating SkarmBliss combo and stall teams, without this guy i woold be in a trouble. Gyarados has also nice synergy with other team, it can come in Ground-type attacks which are aimed for Heatran or Jirachi. Gyarados is also important check for pokemons like Lucario and it help deal with threats like DD Gyarados and Dragonite. Set is overall just normal Bulky DD, but it's so useful, great and everything.
Lust is one Homunculus… There's no sense.
............
Alphonse Elric
Kingdra @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 144 HP/160 Atk/164 Spd/40 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Outrage
- Rest
Why Kingdra?
So, Where do i Begin. Well, i decided to use Chesto Berry Kingdra after i have noticed huge weakness against LO Starmie, problem was solved after Kingdra because Starmie is easy set up fodder for Kingdra. Two Dragon Dancer may sound a bit odd, but with these two guys it works perfectly. Gyarados Lures in Bulky Water, like Suicune and Kingdra come in to set up and sweep. Chesto Kingdra is nowadays the best Kingdra, and believe it or not i used it in my first team something about half year ago. Chesto Berry Kingdra has has 4 extremely good reasons: 1) Status haxorz, i laugh at them when i restheal myself. 2) Extra DD against all pokemons, who wont 2HKO me. Sleep heal, any1? 3) Toxic Spikes cant take this devil out. 4) Gives a survive chance to priority revenge killers, example Scizor.
Yeah, Kingdra is super effective late game sweeper, his definitely unreblaceaple. Thanks for Scijamara for suggesting this at #RMT.
I named him byte younger brother of Elrcis, still he doesn't wear any armor like Alphonse, but Kingdra is cool Al is cool and his so important member of this team so he has to name as Al.

Edward Elric
Flygon @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- U-Turn
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Stone Edge
Why Flygon?
Flygon is replacement for Jirachi suggested by Philip. It has worked well, Flygon is great pokemon as game finisher. Easily with his speed and move coverage it can finish off what Kingdra or other pokemons leaves behind. Stone Edge is for keeping Gyarados out sweeping my team. Sorry, im so tired now. I edit better descriptions later.
Of course Jirachi is Edward, it's just so obvious. They both have bodies made of steel and they are like twins every way.

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- U-Turn / Thunderpunch
- Iron Head
- Ice Punch
- Fire Punch
Why Jirachi?
Jirachi, what a wonderful pokemon. To be honest i don't like this Choice Scarf set, i think Jirachi isnt on his best at Scarfer but always have to think what is the best for team so nor i run Scarfed set. Before i ran Bulky Sweeper set, but then i noticed that Dragonite can over my team so i changed it for Scarfer so now i could revenge kill Dragonite and also Lucario who could be a pain in the ass. But yeah, Jirachi is my main answer against set up sweeper, like Tyranitar, Dragonite and Gyarados. I just come on their set up and OHKO they easily out. Jirachi is great "game finisher" like i call him, if Kingdra hasn't swept whole team and leaves something like 1-2 pokemon left, Jirachi can come into it and hit with SE of his great move coverage or if it isn't possible it can just has to the max with Iron Head. I think also my team is a bit weak for Stall Team so Jirachi is important member while it can cripple opposing stallers.
Jirachi is very valuable player because he can check my back for i don't get swept by set up sweepers. Like i said, Jirachi is a wonderful pokemon and theres hundreds of ways play it and you cant never be 100% sure what kind of Jirachi do you face.
Of course Jirachi is Edward, it's just so obvious. They both have bodies made of steel and they are like twins every way.
