Temtem BEST Team: Ultimate Composition

The Temtem we’re talking about is the final version of the sequel, which was released on September 6th, 2022. As soon as the game was released, our job at Veryaligaming was to provide our valued readers with a fully customized Temtem Best Team composition.

But before we start, let’s jump right into the details of the game!

It is a single-player and multiplayer RPG Genre game available on PlayStation 5, PC Windows, Nintendo Switch, and the Xbox Series. The game features Co-op Adventure, advanced character customization, and more.

We’ve had the pleasure of experiencing similar games such as Pokemon before, and believe me, Temtem is a lookalike nonetheless. 

Here is a summary table showcasing all the Team Compositions in Tem Tem:

No.	Game No.	Name	Type	Weight	Height	HP	STA	SPD	ATK	DEF	SPATK	SPDEF
1	#072	Crystle	Crystal	48kg / 105.84lbs	60cm / 23.62"	60	41	33	61	69	46	42

Much to our concern, the game is almost very similar to the Pokemon world.

However, in this case, you have Temtems instead of Pokemons, AKA battle-friendly creatures fighting by your side to help you in your epic adventure across six islands.

The term used for characters is called Temtem, and before setting foot in the fully online world of Temtem, you are bestowed with the ability to tame these beautiful creatures and challenge other Temtem tamers.

Much to your surprise, you’ll be given Temcards instead of Pokeballs to capture Temtems!

Your goal is to find and tame these creatures and become the ultimate/best Temtem Tamer in the world.

Explaining TemTem Teams

Similar to the beginning of Pokemon World, you have the choice to enter the world of Temtem with a starter companion.

These companions are offered to you at the start of your adventure, and one of them will help you explore and battle other creatures in the world.

Now, most players will presumably skip any worthy reason to choose a creature. They will, without a doubt, select a starter companion at random.

Conversely, players seeking the thrill and fun of any game will face difficulties choosing the optimum Temtem companion.

If you’ve watched Pokemon before, you’ll know that Ash Ketchum chose Pikachu as his trusty Pokemon companion to accompany him in his journey to become the best Pokemon trainer.

Pikachu and Ash became the best duo throughout the Pokemon series, becoming stronger together in each region.

The same notion works here in Temtem, where you have to select any of the three starter companions.

You’ll have to choose from the three starters: Smazee, Crystle, and Houchic. This guide will help you select the best starter companion for your journey and an in-depth guide on Temtem Best Team.

Best Starter Companion

As mentioned in the above paragraph, you get to choose from three starter Temtems to accompany you in your journey.

The three creatures are pretty mediocre as it is the start of the game, and undoubtedly no developer in their right mind will provide you with a legendary character right off the bat!

You’ll be given an average character, at the least. Let’s analyze the characteristics of the three starter companions; Crystle, Houchic, and Smazee.

Crystle

No.	#072
Type	Crystal Type
Evolves to	Sherald
Gender Ratio	35% male, 65% female
Catch Rate	160
Traits	Amphibian, Rested
FreeTem! Reward	Level 22
Base Stats
HP	60
STA	41
SPD	33
ATK	61
DEF	69
SPATK	46
SPDEF	42
Weight	48kg / 105.84lbs
Height	60cm / 23.62"
Locations	Starter Mines of Mictlan Kupeleleza

Each Temtem has eight or more attributes that make them unique from the rest. These attributes can significantly impact your team against other wild and tamed Temtems.

Moreover, there are also different types that identify each of these creatures. The types can be Earth, Crystal, Fire, and more.

As the name suggests, Crystle is a Crystal type Temtem, and it is strong against the Mental and Electric.

Furthermore, you can benefit the most if you choose to add Crystle to your Temtem Best Team due to its fantastic ability to counter two powerful types of Temtems early game.

With the highest HP(27) out of the three starter companions, Crystle can help you survive more and increase your chances of securing a win and taming other unique Temtems at the beginning of the game.

Surely you’ll get plenty of other Crystal-type Temtems much better than Crystle. However, having Crystle as your starter companion will definitely give you an edge.

Keeping in mind that our friendly companion Crystle is weak against Earth and Fire types, make sure you don’t get into a fight with these types while you have Crystle around!

Houchic

No.	#032
Type	Mental Type
Evolves to	Tental
Gender Ratio	50% male, 50% female
Catch Rate	80
Traits	Mental Alliance Soft Touch
FreeTem! Reward	Level 24
Base Stats
HP	38
STA	44
SPD	66
ATK	40
DEF	41
SPATK	72
SPDEF	52
Weight	24kg / 52.92lbs
Height	110cm / 43.31"
Locations	Starter Meadowdale
Cry	Houchic Audio

The following companion we have on the list as our starter is Houchic. It has a Stamina of 22, similar to Crystle, and is weak against the Crystal type. Well, isn’t that a coincidence?

Houchic is strong against Melee and Neutral types, which means you have a strong chance of shredding these Types of Temtems if you ever come across them!

However, there is one thing that you should bear in mind. Houchic’s attack pattern is frustrating because it only has three moves, out of which it can only use two after every second turn.

Houchic is an excellent choice to fend off Neutral and Melee types in the short run. Although when talking about its evolution to Tentai, you’ll see how it becomes weak against some mental type Temtems.

But you do not have to worry about that during the early encounters in the game. You’ll have slim chances of engaging with these types. On another note, Houchic is second to Crystle in achieving your goal of building the Best Temtem Team.

Smazee

No.	#092
Type	Melee Type
Evolves to	Baboong
Gender Ratio	65% male, 35% female
Catch Rate	60
Traits	Fever Rush Friendship
Base Stats
HP	-
STA	-
SPD	-
ATK	2
DEF	-
SPATK	-
SPDEF	-
Weight	24.5kg / 54.02lbs
Height	96cm / 37.8"
Locations	Starter Greenglen Forest
Cry	Smazee Audio

The worst mistake you would make as a beginner is to take Smazee as your starter companion in Temtem.

Adding Smazee to your Team will not benefit you due to many factors, mainly in the long run. Although Smazee is cut out for Earth and Crystal Temtems, it is weak against Mental types.

Furthermore, its evolution to Baboong is clearly not the best. On the contrary, having Melee-type Temtems can be the best choice, but we would not recommend Smazee to be that choice.

After going through the details and whatnot of having the best starter companion, which one should you choose?

We think you would highly benefit from choosing Crystle as your best bud. It is a solid choice to build the top Temtem Team considering that you only have five slots to fill.

Temtem Best Team

Now that we have selected our best starter companion, we shall move on to filling our remaining five slots with the Best Temtems found in the game.

If you want to create the best team, you need to make sure the attributes of the selected Temtem serve a purpose in the team.

For instance, you would not want a Temtem that solely depends on the support of your team. Keeping that in mind, the special attacks and support bestowed upon certain Temtems are the ones you should aim for in your team.

Similarly, it is best to have various types of Temtems to have an all-rounded Temtem Team that is recognized in the meta.

With that said, let’s reveal the five Temtems for your team!

Mouflank

No.	#030
Type	Neutral Type
Evolves From	Goty
Gender Ratio	50% male, 50% female
Catch Rate	90
Traits	Hurry-wart Unnoticed
Base Stats
HP	1
STA	-
SPD	-
ATK	-
DEF	1
SPATK	-
SPDEF	-
Weight	115kg / 253.58lbs
Height	170cm / 66.93"
Locations	Evolution
Cry	Mouflank Audio

This magnificent creature cannot be found in the wild, meaning the only option you have to obtain it is through evolving Goty.

It is a perfectly rounded Temtem that requires 13 levels to evolve into a Mouflank. Once achieved, this Temtem can provide the offense with two powerful attributes/skills.

It lacks a handful of special defense but covers it up with its exceptional Stamina, HP, and hefty power. One of the best traits of Mouflank is the Hurry-wart. It allows the user to decrease the Hold of opponents by one turn.

With attacks like Double Kick and Held Anger, Mouflank has an excellent physical bulk that allows it to deal hefty damage.

With this Temtem in your team, you’ll have slim chances of walking into a wall!

Ganki

No.	#113
Type	Electric Type Wind Type
Evolves to	Gazuma
Gender Ratio	50% male, 50% female
Catch Rate	120
Traits	Resistant Inductor
FreeTem! Reward	Level 1 ( 23 )
Base Stats
HP	-
STA	-
SPD	-
ATK	1
DEF	-
SPATK	-
SPDEF	-
Weight	14.5kg / 31.97lbs
Height	105cm / 41.34"
Locations	Thalassian Cliffs Windward For
Cry	Ganki Audio

It is a cold-natured Temtem that looks adorable, much like Jiggly Puff from Pokemon. Aside from the cuteness, Ganki can provide impenetrable Special Defense hovering over 73 stat!

You can get your hands on a Ganki either in the Winward Fort or the Thalassian Cliffs with a 120% catch rate.

You can level it up 27 times to evolve it into Gazuma, which significantly benefits the overall defense of your team.

While we’re still talking about Ganki, this yellow fluffball has one of the most brilliant traits. The Inductor trait can greatly benefit you in your battles if the opponent uses an electric attack.

The first Trait, “Resistance,” also comes in handy!

On a side note, it would be a wrong decision if you’re thinking of swapping out DC Beam with Chain Lightning!

Ganki acts as a concrete wall when it comes to tanking enemy attacks, providing attack-type Temtems such as Mouflank to deal hefty damage with its Base Jump or Goring.

Vulffy

No.	#144
Type	Earth Type Nature Type
Gender Ratio	50% male, 50% female
Catch Rate	110
Traits	Burglar Team Elusive
FreeTem! Reward	Level 1 ( 23 )
Base Stats
HP	-
STA	-

SPDEF	3
Weight	73kg / 160.97lbs
Height	84cm / 33.07"
Locations	Jino Gap Tasa Desert
Cry	Vluffy Audio

Another well-rounded defensive Temtem is Vulffy. It is an Earth Type creature that does not require evolution. You can acquire Vulffy from the Jino Gap or the Tasa Desert with a 110% catch rate.

Vulffy has incredible speed and can serve as a decent player for your Temtem Team.

Moreover, it has an amazing set of stats revolving around defense, speed, stamina, and Special Attack.

A most common feature of this Temtem is its Special Defense, much like Ganki. A versatile partner, Vulffy can leave opponents vulnerable to mistakes and turn out to be immune to spread moves with its Team Elusive trait.

More importantly, you will find it extra helpful to have healing abilities honed by this creature. Special moves that will benefit you are Plague and Handcuffs.

Saipat

No.	#069
Type	Melee Type Water Type
Gender Ratio	50% male, 50% female
Catch Rate	140
Traits	Amphibian Toxic Affinity
FreeTem! Reward	Level 1 ( 22 )
Base Stats
HP	3
STA	-

Weight	50kg / 110.25lbs
Height	100cm / 39.37"
Locations	Saipark Thalassian Cliffs Arissola Dojo Gifted Bridges Windward Fort Sillaro River Aguamarina Caves Xolot Reservoir Rice Fields
Cry	Saipat Audio

This Temtem has immense HP, Attack, Speed, and Special Attack, allowing it to deal incredible damage using Nicho Sai.

Saipat is a water-type creature, perfect for creating a variety of moves when battling other users. The number of locations you can run into Saipat is countless. 

From Saipark to Windward Fort, this Temtem can be easily captured with a catch rate of 140%. Similar to Vulffy, it does not evolve into any other forms.

Aside from its attacks, Saipat offers an advantage on the battlefield due to its elemental moves and can perform various combinations of Toxic, Fire, Water, and Melee attacks.

Due to its versatility, the elemental advantage can significantly help players in both PvP and PvE fights.

Skail

No.	#027
Type	Neutral Type
Evolves to	Skunch
Gender Ratio	50% male, 50% female
Catch Rate	120
Traits	Furor Scavenger
FreeTem! Reward	Level 1 ( 23 )
Base Stats
HP	-
STA	-
SPD	1
ATK	-
DEF	-
SPATK	-
SPDEF	-
Weight	26kg / 57.33lbs
Height	80cm / 31.5"
Locations	Prasine Coast Thalassian Cliffs Gifted Bridges Windward Fort Aguamarina Caves Saipark
Cry	Skail Audio

Its overall stats are pretty mediocre, and you should only opt for Skail when you’ve just started playing Temtem. 

It has moderate Defense, Stamina, and HP, while other stats are not worth having Skail around in your team for much longer.

Additionally, you can level up Skail 17 times to evolve it into Skunch, which is also a valuable Temtem for your team.

So why did we mention Skail in our Temtem Team? Skail can assist the other beneficial Temtems in your team and provide support.

Do you think what type of support Skail offer? Well, it mainly buffs the allies using Stone Wall and remains in battle even after losing its HP due to its Scavenger trait.

These special skills and other aspects of Skail make him a perfect candidate for your team early on in the game.

Bonus Temtem

No.	#059
Type	Fire Type
Evolves From	Raize
Gender Ratio	85% male, 15% female
Catch Rate	0
Traits	Prideful Motivator
FreeTem! Reward	Level 1 ( 22 )
Base Stats

SPATK	2
SPDEF	-
Weight	125kg / 275.63lbs
Height	195cm / 76.77"
Locations	Altar of the Inner Flame Evolution
Cry	Raican Audio

While we’re almost done with our guide, here is a bonus Temtem that you players can switch between any of the five adorable yet feisty creatures mentioned above.

Being a ferocious Fire-type Temtem, Raican has a balanced set of stats encompassing HP, Attack, and Defense.

This Tem right here is pretty hard to catch because it is quite rare. If you have better luck, you’ll find and possibly tame Raican at the Altar of the Inner Flame.

One of the best things about this beast is its Prideful Trait. Suppose you’re in a fight against your opponent and knock out one of their Temtems.

Raican’s Prideful Trait will exponentially boost your Speed, Attack, and Special Attacks. While we’re still talking about its unique prowess, bear in mind that Raican is the final form of Raiber and undergoes three stages of evolution to reach its final stage.

You can train and level your Raiber to evolve into Raize and Raican. Furthermore, you can use Raican as an offense-based Temtem as well as a support type.

What playstyle you choose when having Raican on your team does not matter. After securing that first kill, Raican will pose a great threat to your opponents and help your allies stay longer to fight.
