Pokemon-like games are slowly becoming a more common occurrence in the gaming community. The most recent addition to the genre is Temtem. Temtem is an MMORPG that takes many different elements from the Pokemon series and combines them with new, original features to create a massive online world called Airborne Archipelago. In this world, players become tamers and are set loose on the mythical world of Temtem, where they can catch wild Temtem, battle them, and go on several different adventures.
For example, players can take on the quest to find and capture the most powerful Temtems available or become the best Temtem tamer they can be. To be the best, players must have the best, and there are several different types to choose from. One of the most unique would be the water type Temtem. There are a select few water Temtem that are more than capable of becoming a strong partner for a tamer, so here are some of the best water Temtem in the game.
6 Nessla
Nessla is a water and electric Temtem. It has a serpent-like body with a pair of fins and a horn with blue and orange scales. Nessla has good base stats overall but lacks in defense. However, as a single form Temtem, it has a large room for growth.
The two traits possible for Nessla are Electric Synthesize, which absorbs electric damage from techniques and heals Nessla, and Hydrologist, which boosts Nessla’s water technique damage. Nessla can most likely be found in the Rice Fields or Sacred Lake areas of Cinpanku but is somewhat of a rarity.
5 Saipat
Saipat is a Temtem similar to that of the Farfetch'd from the Pokemon series as it has a bird-like design with purple feathers and is equipped with a shell for a helmet and a piece of coral as a weapon. Saipat is both a water and melee type Temtem with a high HP stat. In addition, Saipat benefits from the Toxic Affinity trait, which allows it to greatly enhance the Toxin techniques it learns.
Saipat’s other trait, Amphibian, grants it an SPD and ATK boost when hit with a water technique. Saipat is another single form Temtem and is scattered all across the world of Airborne Archipelago. Players will most commonly run into one in Deniz in areas like Gifted Bridges and the Presine Coast, which is easily reached by fast travel.
4 Kalabyss
Kalabyss has a squid-like body similar to the Tentacool Pokemon. It's colored in a mixture of black and white patterns across its body with two giant tentacles on both sides. Kalabyss is the evolved form of Kalazu and has high base HP, ATK, and DEF stats. Even further, both of the traits that Kalabyss can take advantage of prevent harmful effects and punishes certain enemies from attacking.
The Toxic Skin trait makes it so that any rival Temtem that attacks Kalabyss with physical damage is afflicted with poison, while the Mucous trait protects Kalabyss from electric and toxin damage, reducing it by thirty percent as well as preventing Burn and Cold status effects. Unfortunately, Kalabyss can only be found in Tucma in the Gardens of Aztlan and Xolot Resovoir. Players may want to search for a Kaluza instead, which is much more common.
3 Platimous
Platimous is possibly the only Temtem whose design matches its name perfectly. Being a water and toxic type Temtem, Platimous has a bird-like body with blue and white feathers and a black duck bill, much like a platypus.
In addition, Platimous has extremely high SPATK and SPD stats that can be protected with the Determined Trait, which prevents negative stat effects from being placed on Platimous. Platimous is the third evolutionary step in Platpet’s chain and can be found in Dabmis’ Rest in Deniz.
2 Oceara
Oceara is a pure water Temtem with an exceptionally high SPATK stat, having the highest base SPATK in the entire game. Its design is modeled after a four-legged animal with blue fur and a white cloud-like mane and a bushy tail.
Oceara is also a single form Temtem with a wide variety of techniques it can learn. In addition, Oceara benefits from the Hurry-wart Trait, which allows it to decrease the amount some of its techniques are on Hold. Oceara is an incredibly rare find in Temtem and can only be located in one place with a low chance of showing up. Players searching for Oceara should look around the Aquamarina Caves in Deniz.
1 Ukama
Ukama is a pure water Temtem; it has very high STA and SPD stats with an overall above-average SPATK stat. Ukama is the evolved form of Umishi and has a unique design almost similar to a seahorse. It has dark blue skin, bright green eyes, and two horns sticking out of its head.
As one of the fastest water Temtem when paired with the Plethoric trait, which boosts its speed when above seventy percent health, Ukama would do well with an aggressive team in mind. While Ukama is a common find, it only shows up in one area in Temtem; players should search the Kakama Cenote in Tucma.
Temtem is currently available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch.
