Best Team In Temtem

Elemental Temtems
Various elemental Tems in Temtem

As you explore various islands of the Airborne Archipelago, you will not only come across Temtems you can tame but will also face other tamers from time to time. So the gameplay loop of Temtem is not just about hoarding Temtems but also building a team of ones you can utilize to take down other tamers. 

For that reason, finding and building an excellent team of Temtems is absolutely necessary if you want to beat other tamers. A good team of Temtems doesn’t necessarily mean having all the A-tiers or S-tiers of Temtems, but the team should consist of creatures of all types. In other words, having a team of Temtems comprised of different types of elements will allow you to have the advantage no matter the situation.

Below, we will discuss the best team of Tems you can build in Temtem. Speaking of tiers of Temtems, why not go through our best Temtem tier list before you read any further?

Kaku

Cute blue and red colored Temtem
Kaku’s height and weight

Kaku is a cute blue-colored Temtem covered with dark red flowers. It keeps those petals wrapped around its chubby, rounded body in order to keep itself safe. Kaku is a Nature-type Temtem that can be later evolved into Saku.

Now, let’s discuss what makes Kaku a great addition to your team. Kaku’s Urushiol ability is highly useful against Water and Nature type Tems. Secondly, Kaku can very quickly evolve into Saku in just about 13 levels. Furthermore, Kaku’s AoE attack, Allergic Spread, is great if you want to deal damage to all creatures of the enemy’s team.

The stats of Kaku are listed below:

HP STA SPD ATK DEF SP ATK SP DEF
69 48 35 60 60 35 50

  • Caffeinated: Kaku’s trait “caffeinated” helps it avoid sleep status.
  • Mithridatism: This trait makes Kaku resistant to poison status.

Nessla

Blue colored Temtem
Tateru’s height and weight

Nessla is an eel-like-looking Temtem with red eyes and a blue body. Nearly half of its bottom is covered in yellow scales, with some yellowfins located under its mouth and behind its head as well. Unfortunately, Nessla can not be evolved, but it makes for it with its element types.

Nessla is composed of two elements, Water and Electricity, which is a devastating combination. Due to this combination, Nessla has very little difficulty coming out on top when faced with Fire and Wind types. All of Nessla’s stats are mentioned below:

HP STA SPD ATK DEF SP ATK SP DEF
58 58 66 76 50 76 72

Traits

  • Electric Synthesize: This is one of Nessla’s most advantageous traits and allows it to heal instead of taking damage whenever it’s hit with an electric attack.
  • Hydrologist: This trait increases the damage dealt by Nessla’s water attacks by 15%.

Weakness & Resistances

Nessla is weak and resistant to the following types of Temtems.

  • x4: None
  • x2: Nature, Crystal, Toxic
  • 0.5: Fire, Water, Wind

It’s obvious that a Temtem with traits and stats this good cannot be found very easily, and Nessla is no exception in this regard. Nessla can be found in the following locations, with the highest spawn rate on Cipanku island.

Ganki is a large, cute Temtem primarily consisting of yellow and black colors, with the ability to take flight. When it comes to body and facial features, Ganki borrows from both insects and bull cattle.

This species of Temtems is revered as a mountain spirit by Cipanki legends. Gaku is affiliated with both Wind and Electric elements and can be later evolved into Gazuma.

Ganki is a great early-game Tem and can still remain a force to be reckoned with later on in the game as it grows and evolves. Its electric nature is great for clearing Deniz Island. All of Ganki’s stats are mentioned below:

HP STA SPD ATK DEF SP ATK SP DEF
38 46 61 57 38 62 73

Tateru is sea green and white colored, tall Temtem with a look that resembles hamsters. It has tall antenna-like ears, which helps them stay alert at all times. 

Even though it can’t be further evolved and is only affiliated with the Neutral element, it more than makes up for it with high base stats and strong resistance. Tateru is weak in Mental elements, but there is no need to worry about that early on in the game. Tateru’s stats are given below:

HP STA SPD ATK DEF SP ATK SP DEF
79 85 60 78 66 54 66

  • Soft Touch: This ability allows Tateru to attack targets without alerting or waking them up from sleep.

All of Tateru’s weaknesses and resistances are mentioned below.

  • x4: None

Skail can be evolved into Skunch and is affiliated with the Neutral element. What makes Skail a great addition to your team is its ability to learn Earth-type moves and its extraordinary speed. Even though its attack damage is low early on, it can learn melee attacks when it evolves into Skunch, which gives a great boost to its attack damage. The stats of Skail are given below:

HP STA SPD ATK DEF SP ATK SP DEF

Our Best Team Tips & Tricks

Now that you are aware of the best team you can build in Temtem, let’s discuss some early game tips and how to avoid early game mistakes rookies usually makes. 

Be Aware Of Your Weaknesses

  • Understand your team’s weaknesses and strengths to make informed decisions.
  • Analyze which elements your team lacks and what types of Temtems are effective against opponents you’ll face.
  • By doing so, you’ll always stay competitive regardless of the game stage.

Build A Team Around Your Starter

  • Consider your starter’s advantages and weaknesses when forming your team.
  • Choose Temtems that complement your starter’s weaknesses rather than duplicating its strengths.
  • This ensures a balanced team without redundant Temtems.

Prioritizing Deniz And Omninesia Early On

  • Focus on exploring Deniz and Omninesia islands in the early game.
  • These islands offer opportunities to catch valuable Temtems and are relatively easier to navigate with the recommended team setup.
  • Temtems found in these regions primarily include Water, Wind, Nature, and Fire types.
  • Having Temtems with Water and Electric affinities, along with Toxic moves, will help you progress swiftly through these islands.
