Great teams for Temtem's story

Key takeaways

• Tailoring teams to exploit type weaknesses for dojo battles in Temtem is important.
• Knowing and countering each leader's Temtem types is key to victory in challenging battles.
• Understanding combat mechanics and using neutral types to take down the final boss is essential.

A monster-taming RPG Temtem It has developed a cult following since its 2020 Early Access release on Steam. With more recent releases on consoles and constant content updates culminating in last November's 1.8 patch, the game has maintained a steady stream of players over time.

Many new players are still looking for this ambitious Pokemon option, and with over 160 Tems to control in the game, many new players will be asking themselves, “Which is the best team to defeat the most challenging fights in the story?” The game's dojo battles can be tough, and there's no one-size-fits-all team that can breeze through them.

Each battle also has its quirks, which means some team comps will work better than others for each. With that in mind, this topic will determine the best team for each dojo battle, as well as the final boss.

1 Great team for Arisola Dojo

Help with electric and nature type Sofia

Recommended Themes (Evolution)

• Ganki (Gazuma)
• from Scar
• Saipat
• Aunt
• Swali (Loali)
• guard (granpa)

Arisola's dojo leader Sophia uses Water and Wind-type tems mostly, so players may want to pack some Electric and Nature damage to hit her weaknesses. Having some toxic coverage can also be a big help. Ganki and Scarawatt are good options for electric tems. If players can find a Cypat with poison affinity, it will make the fight a bit easier.

Kaku and Swali will hit Nature's Weaknesses here, and they both resist Sophia's water-type attacks. Having Paharo level and potentially evolve can help as a high-stat damage soak, as players don't have many options to hold on to at this stage. However, players who choose Crystal as a starter can use it instead to counter one of Sophia's Electric-types, Spargy.

2 Best team for Mokopuni Dojo

Use water and poison types to take on Rawiri

Recommended Themes (Evolution)

• Saipat
• Kalazu (Kalabyss)
• Aunt
• Ganki (Gazuma)
• Platypet (Platox)
• hocus pocus

Raviri mostly uses fire and nature-type tems, so water and poison types are easy choices for this fight. However, players also need to consider one of his neutral-type teammates, Teteru. Hocus is a good choice to deal with its Psychic-type damage and can be held back on Deniz.

Saipat, Platypet, and Calabis can hit fire tems with water-type damage, and Calabis has the bonus that it can use poison techniques against nature-types as well. Players can continue to use Saku as it resists nature and can learn poison techniques, but its fire weakness can be a problem. To mitigate this, players can equip it with an ice cube for 20% fire resistance, available in the chest earlier in the dojo.

3 Great team for Nanga Dojo

Mixing types to defeat Tihani

Recommended Themes (Evolution)

• Vulcan
• Raibar
• Aunt
• Ganki (Gazuma)
• guard (granpa)
• Nestlé

Tihani mixes more types than previous dojo leaders, but half of their team is weak to Electric-type damage. This means that players' ganki, or its evolved form gazuma, must return to the rotation. A Nessla can be a good electric-type backup, especially with the electric synthesis passive feature.

Vulcrane and Raiber can cover the fire-type damage that is needed, and Saku's poison damage can still help here. If this battle proves to be difficult, players should ensure their tems are kept to at least level 35, as Tihani's team will be between levels 33-38.

4 The best team for Quetzal Dojo

Use air, wind and fire to hit Yareni's weaknesses

Recommended Themes (Evolution)

• Raibar
• skunk
• Saipat
• you
• Ganki (Gazuma)
• volarend

Yareni's team is another mix of types, but with three crystal-types, a melee-heavy hitter is a good choice. So Skunch is included here, and Saipat can also help with melee techniques. Gazuma and Volarend will help to hit the air weakness.

Ryber can hit Mike's fire weakness, which can be difficult to take out. Tuwai rounds out the team for wind damage, but there are other options here. Players may want to take a Nature-type as Mudrid and Shuin are vulnerable to its damage, but they should be wary of Yareni's Poison-type attacks.

5 The best team for Vumbi Dojo

Water, Mental and Climate types work best for Rats

Recommended Themes (Evolution)

• Platypet (Platox)
• hocus pocus
• Kalazu (Kalabyss)
• Burnsey
• skunk
• Smazee

Using Platypet and Kalazu (ideally evolved into Kalabyss at this point) can cover the water weaknesses of the dojo leader Rat's team. Players also need Psychic-types, so using Burnshe and Hocus, the two most readily available options, can really help Skunk and Yowler, who might otherwise be hard to take down.

Although Rat himself uses a few melee-types, his team consists of three tames with melee weaknesses. This means that players who bring their own Skunch, Smazee, or other melee Tems should choose them to round out their team.

6 The best team for Neoedo Dojo

Dr. Earth, nature and mental type. Can counter Sasaya

Recommended Themes (Evolution)

• to buy
• hocus pocus
• from Scar
• Lolly
• Dad
• That's it

Packing nature and mental types like Kinu, Hokas, Loali and Aohi, Dr. Can affect most of Sasaya's weaknesses. This composition uses dual-type Tems to hit multiple types of damage. It also gives players the option to bring some electric types to mitigate the damage from Nessla and Ob10.

Don't use water types as all damage is reduced by 20% for ob10's umbrella. Players will want to level all of their main teams above level 60 for this fight, as Dr. Sasaya's team will be level 58-64.

7 Great team for the Lochburgh Dojo

Bring Psychic, Digital and Earth types to deal with Murdag

Recommended Themes (Evolution)

• Ori (Zaobian)
• Grumvel (Grumper)
• Vulffy
• Sysmunch
• to buy
• Nagais

Murdag can be a tough dojo leader to beat, as they pack Tames with attacking buffs that can dish out a lot of damage. With this in mind, players should bring their grumpers to boost Golgi and his special technique. The next most dangerous team in Murdagh's team is the Skunk, so focusing on their mental weakness should be the player's next priority.

Players also want to be able to hit Earth-type weaknesses, so Vulfy and Seismunch can be good choices here. Kinu brings psychic-type damage and support, and Nagais can hit with both psychic and water-type damage, giving players excellent coverage for Murdagh's team.

8 Best team for Properton Dojo

Packing electric and melee types helps with Percival

Recommended Themes (Evolution)

• hocus pocus
• Gorong
• Raignet
• Waspin
• housekeeper
• Nagais

Percival is the last dojo leader in the game, and as such, it's a tough fight. The doublescreen item that Percival uses reduces damage from dual-type tems, so picking strong single types is a good strategy to fight.

Players want to be able to hit with Lightning, Earth, Water, and Psychic damage types. Melee can help with a crystal type, Inki. The above team mostly uses single-type Tems, with dual types to hit specific weaknesses. Focus on removing the vent as quickly as possible to negate the doublescreen effect.

9 Great team for the final boss

Defeat Gen X by Counter Swap

Recommended Themes (Evolution)

• Mouflank
• Yoller
• to buy
• Nestlé
• volarend
• Hajin

The composition of the player's team is not as important as understanding the structure of the battle for the final battle. The battle ends in a loss after 15 turns, so players need to be able to take out Gen X's team quickly. To make it even more complicated, he will try to frustrate the player with swaps and delay tactics, so it's important to counter them.

Packing accessories such as handcuffs or a cage can help close the switches. Another way to counter this is to use strong neutral-type Tems like Mouflank and Yowlar to negate the switching type advantage. Once players know his lineup, they can also try to predict his switches to line up effective moves. The above team uses a combination of neutral types, lightning and wind attacks, and some useful support abilities.
