Best Toxic Type Temtem (& Where To Find Them)

Temtem is an MMORPG in a similar realm to Pokémon, where players must tame and catch unique creatures known as Temtem. There are over 100 Temtem available in the world, of various types, character designs, and abilities. More have since been added to the game, as it has recently come out of Early Access on Steam. To become the world's great Temtem trainer, players must build their team correctly, utilizing different types to create synergies to stand out from the crowd and emerge victorious against challenging dojos and other players

Temtem is full of weird and wonderful creatures to catch. The Toxic-type in particular, are quite strong early-game due to the prevalence of Water and Nature types, so they are a necessary addition to any team! These are the best Toxic-types in the world of Temtem, and where they can be located.

7 Hazrat

Hazrat is a dual-type Toxic and Fire Temtem. Its name is a fusion between ‘hazard’ and ‘rat,’ hence its rat-like physical appearance. At level 64, Hazrat learns the Wastewater Toxic Technique. This basically causes raw sewage to rain down on the opponent, inflicting Toxic Damage and Poisoning them for one turn. Hazrat has the highest base ATK of all Toxic Temtem, making it a great addition to any player’s squad.

Hazrat is great for inflicting the Poisoned Condition as a Toxic-type Temtem. One of its randomly-assigned Traits, Contagious, can inflict Poison onto any rival that exits the battlefield. Hazrat notably does not evolve into or from any other Temtem. It can be found on Arbury Island, in Sewers of Properton. Braeside Castle also has decent spawn rates of 10-90%.

6 Mushook

Mushook is a Toxic and Melee Temtem. It is a humanoid mushroom-like Temtem, sporting a blue toadstool cap, two drooping rabbit-like ears, and boxing-glove hands. Mushook is the final stage of a two-stage evolutionary line and evolves from Mushi after 20 levels.

At level 22, Mushook can learn the Paralyzing Poison Technique. This traps and poisons an enemy target for four turns. This ability synergies with another Toxic ally, which causes the Poison to last for six turns instead. Mushook can be found in the Sewers of Properton on Arbury Island.

5 Adoroboros

Adoroboros is a pink liquid-like lizard Temtem with a pair of dark purple wings. It is perpetually sleeping; an unusual mix of cute and deadly. Adoroboros is a hybrid Temtem with both Toxic and Mental typing, and does not evolve into or from any other Temtem. Adoroboros has a Toxic Technique called Pollution. This handy skill inflicts the rival team with the Poisoned Condition for two turns, causing them to lose 10% of their max STA.

Currently, Adoroboros has the highest base SPDEF stat of all Temtem in-game and is well worth capturing. This Temtem can be found at the Xolot Reservoir on Tucma or the Braeside Castle on Arbury.

4 Noxolotl

Noxolotl’s name is derived from Noxious and Axolotl. Its face resembles a lizard with four eyes, four legs and colorful rainbow mane resembling dreadlocks. Noxolotl has well-rounded base stats, particularly with high DEF and SPATK. With Toxic-type abilities like Acid Reflux and Toxic Ink, Noxolotl can maintain the Poisoned Condition on opponents, consistently dealing passive damage.

Noxolotl evolves from Toxolotl after leveling up 30 times. This is the only way to obtain one, as they cannot be caught in the wild.

3 Goolder

Goolder is solely a Toxic-type Temtem. It has probably one of the funniest character designs in-game, with its green blob-like appearance and purple tongue drooping out of its gaping mouth. Its aesthetic may remind avid Pokémon fans of the Poison-type Pokémon, Grimer. Goolder evolves from Blooze after levelling up 25 times and is its final evolution.

Goolder has the highest base HP of all Temtem, making it a great sponge to soak up any damage. Goolder also has the highest base STA stats of all available Toxic Temtem. Goolder cannot be captured in the wild; the only way to obtain one is by evolving a Blooze. Blooze can be found in the Corrupted Badlands on Tucma.

2 Platimous

Platimous is both a Water and Toxic-type Temtem. It evolves from Platox after 20 levels and is the final evolution of Platypet in a three-stage evolutionary line. Platimous has the highest base SPD and SPATK of all Toxic-type Temtem. Platimous can be bestowed with one of the two passive traits: Zen or Determined. Zen gives the user DEF and SPDEF bonuses when afflicted with the Asleep Condition.

Despite being found in the wild, Platox can’t be captured unless the player uses a TemCardX, which is the only way to catch third-stage evolutions. Platimous does spawn at Dabmis’ Rest on Deniz. The only other way to obtain one is by evolving a Platox.

1 Volarend

Volarend is a Toxic and Wind Temtem and the best Toxic Temtem currently in the game. Volarend is bird-like with its physical appearance, wielding a vicious expression likely to scare off any opponent. It has average base stats but with a rare SPDEF. Toxic Plume is an excellent Toxic Technique exclusive to Volarend, and 50 damage, inflicting an opponent with the Poisoned Condition for one turn.

Volarend is the final stage of a two-stage evolutionary line. It evolves from Zephyruff after levelling up 22 times. Players can find Volarend in two locations on Kisiwa: Mawingu Islets and Kilima Peaks. Players can also find Volarend on Tucma, in Kupeleleza, with an extremely rare spawn chance.

Temtem is available to play on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
