Top 9 Earth-Type Temtem & Where to Catch Them

by

Summary

  • Games like Digimon and Temtem introduce unique features to the creature-collecting genre.
  • Earth-type Temtems like Bunbun, Zizare, Droply, Turoc, Vulffy, Seismunch, Akranox, Mudrid, and Vulcrane offer diverse gameplay.
  • Temtems like Turoc and Akranox have exclusive traits that provide strategic advantages in battles.

Ever since Pokemon was introduced in 1996, numerous game developers have been trying to create their own version of a creature-collecting game. Although some have struggled to find success, many have managed to thrive by capturing the magic that Pokemon offers to the gaming world. This is largely due to those who have carved out a niche in the monster-collecting genre incorporating distinct features not found in Pokemon. Digimon is a great illustration of this, as it borrows certain elements from Pokemon while also introducing its own spin, such as setting the Digimon world virtually instead of basing it on the real world like Pokemon does.

A standout illustration of a skillfully crafted monster-gathering game is none other than Temtem. This independent game offers almost identical activities as found in Pokemon games, but with a twist – it’s all set within an MMO environment, allowing players to engage and battle with one another. What sets Temtem apart is the diverse array of unique Temtem types (Crystal, Neutral, Digital, etc.), essential for game progression. Among these elemental types, Earth-type Temtem seems particularly potent, but with numerous options available, players must discern which ones are worth the investment.

Different earth-dwelling beings do not possess unique resistance to any sort of status afflictions. Instead, they remain susceptible to the elements of Nature, Water, and physical (Melee) attacks. However, it’s important to note that these creatures can still inflict significant damage in return when facing off against their Melee counterparts.

9. Bunbun

Overall Stat: 374

  • Bunbun can be found in the following locations:
    • Tucma: Mines of Mictlan, Gardens of Aztlan, Kakama Cenote

Among the early Temtem you can obtain, Bunbun stands out as one of the most accessible due to its presence in the Mines of Mictlan and Gardens of Aztlan on Tucma island, with a high encounter rate of 75%. What sets this Earth-type Temtem apart is its impressive base HP for an unevolved Temtem – a remarkable 72 points.

Apart from its sturdy structure, Bunbun possesses two beneficial traits that can simplify many battles significantly. The primary trait is “Caffeinated,” which shields Bunbun from falling asleep – a handy advantage against Nature-type Temtems. Additionally, the secondary trait (Resilient) ensures that Bunbun won’t be defeated when pushed to exhaustion (when a Temtem’s Stamina depletes) once during combat. Once transformed into Mudrid, it gains an extra trait (Receptive), which extends its turn by one for every positive status effect it acquires.

8. Zizare

Overall Stat: 456

  • Zizare can be found in the following locations:
    • Kisiwa: Juu Tunnel, Jino Gap, Kwea Upland, Chini Grotto, Kilima Peaks, Barafu Glacier

Showcasing over 90 base Attack and Defense, Zizare stands as one of the game’s most powerful non-evolving Earth Temtem, capable of delivering heavy blows. Not only that, but it boasts a substantial 75 Stamina, ensuring it can endure player battles with ease. Furthermore, its primary trait (Rested) increases its Attack for the initial two turns of a Temtem battle, while its secondary trait (Electric Custodian) diverts all Electric-type attacks to itself rather than its companion.

Obtaining a Zizare isn’t a walk in the park because of its robustness; it has a challenging 30% encounter rate. However, luckily for players, there are numerous spots where they can find Zizare on Kisiwa island. Here are some popular places to look: Juu Tunnel, Jino Gap, Kwea Upland, Chini Grotto, Kilima Peaks, and Barafu Glacier.

7. Droply

Overall Stat: 363

  • Droply can be found in the following locations:
    • Kisiwa: Juu Tunnel, Moyo Lake, Matope Road, Mawingu Islets
    • Tucma: Gardens of Aztlan

Despite Droply having the least initial speed among all unevolved Earth Temtems, it boasts an impressive stamina of 60 points, making it unique in its category. The advantage here is that players can enhance its low speed by leveraging its secondary trait (Amphibian), which boosts its speed and attack whenever a Water-type attack hits it. As a dual-type Temtem (Water and Earth), it takes less damage from Water attacks.

As Droply transforms into Garyo, it trades the Trait for a new one called Marathonist. This trait reduces the cost of all techniques by half, but decreases its Speed. Players can find Droply on Tucma island (Gardens of Aztlan), Mawingu Islets, Juu Tunnel, Moyo Lake, and Matope Road in Kisiwa island.

6. Turoc

Overall Stat: 444

  • Turoc cannot be found and tamed in the wilderness.
  • Players can find and tame a Tuwai, and then evolve it into Turoc at the Aisha’s Hearth.
  • Tuwai can be found in the following locations:
    • Arbury: Chieftain’s Barrow
    • Tucma: Sons of Crystal
    • Deniz: Dabmis’ Rest
    • Kisiwa: Aisha’s Heart
    • Cipanku: Digital Kami Shrine
    • Omninesia: Altar of the Inner Flame

In the world of Temtem and Pokemon, players might notice several parallels between Tuwai and Eevee. Both characters share a common trait: they have multiple type-specific evolutions. However, unlike Eevee, which can be encountered quite frequently, Tuwai is an exceptionally rare find in the game Temtem (occurring only 5% of the time). Interestingly, Tuwai is found on numerous routes such as Sons of Crystal, Dabmis’ Rest, Aisha’s Hearth, Digital Kami Shrine, Altar of the Inner Flame, and Chieftain’s Barrow.

Players who successfully capture Tuwai can transform it into Turoc by bringing it to Aisha’s Hearth. Notably, Turoc is one of the most durable Earth-type Temtems in the game, boasting over 100 base HP. Additionally, its main trait, Escapist, immunizes against the Trapped status effect, allowing players to avoid being locked into a specific Temtem during battle.

5. Vulffy

Overall Stat: 448

  • Vulffy can be found in the following locations:
    • Kisiwa: Jino Gap, Tasa Desert

Many Temtem players often overlook Vulffy due to its initial Attack stat (39), but what they don’t realize is that Vulffy possesses distinct Traits capable of hindering an opponent’s Temtem team. This is primarily due to its primary Trait, Burglar, which can disable a rival Temtem’s equipment when it’s either asleep or exhausted. Although this may not seem significant at first glance, certain Gear items can amplify a Temtem’s power by up to ten times, such as the Lightning Rod or Sensei Robe.

To add to that, Team Elusive trait in Vulffy makes it immune to Area of Effect (AOE) techniques, a characteristic typically found in Wind-type Temtems. However, given its relatively low Attack power, players might want to team up Vulffy with another Temtem capable of dealing significant damage. Meanwhile, Vulffy excels at disabling opponents’ Gear and AOE attacks. You can discover Vulffy in either the Jino Gap or Tasa Desert on Kisiwa island.

4. Seismunch

Overall Stat: 454

  • Seismunch cannot be found and tamed in the wilderness.
  • Players can find and tame a Smazee from Greenglen Forest in Arbury, and then evolve it into Baboong after 29 levels.
  • Then, they should evolve Baboong into Seismunch after 23 levels.

In the game, Smazee ranks high among the initial Temtems, but when it transforms into Seismunch in its final form, it becomes even more lethal due to an additional Earth elemental type. Seismunch stands out with a remarkable 85 base Speed and 89 base Attack, a trait not shared by the other two starters. A key feature that makes it popular among PVP players is its primary Trait (Self-Esteem), which eliminates all detrimental status effects when the target Temtem is defeated.

Furthermore, the characteristic (Earthbound) it possesses boosts Seismunch’s Defense whenever it unleashes an Earth-based attack. To maximize this trait, players should focus on learning Earth-type attacks for Seismunch. Initially, Smazee can only be acquired at the game’s start, but later, players may find a wild one in Greenglen Forest on Arbury island.

3. Mudrid

Overall Stat: 472

  • Mudrid can be found in the following locations:
    • Tucma: Mines of Mictlan
    • Kisiwa: Barafu Glacier
    • Cipanku: Pillars of Highabove
  • Mudrid can also be obtained by finding a Bunbun and evolving it after 25 levels.

In other words, Mudrid is a Temtem boasting exceptional stats in Health Points, Speed, and Special Attack Power. However, its Defense, Stamina, and Special Defense are relatively weak, suggesting that Mudrid primarily excels in offensive capabilities rather than defense.

Despite its vulnerabilities, Mudrid’s Resilient attribute partially offsets this weakness. This attribute shortens the duration of certain conditions on Mudrid by one turn when he is afflicted with Poison, Burn, Sleep, Cold, Exhaustion, Isolation, Seizure, and Trap.

Mudrid’s approach is centered around attacks, and it receives a 20% boost to its multiple target abilities due to dispersion.

2. Vulcrane

Overall Stat: 481

  • Vulcrane can be found in the Mines of Mictlan, Tucma.
  • Vulcrane can also be obtained by evolving a Vulor after 28 levels.

In the game Temtem, Vulcrane is another impressive and adaptable creature, albeit not quite as evenly balanced as Akranox. Notably, it boasts a Defense stat of 86. However, it’s crucial to be aware that Vulcrane has a significant weakness to Water-type creatures. The damage inflicted on Vulcrane by these foes is amplified by a factor of 4.

In terms of characteristics, Vulcrane possesses two key traits:

1. The “Vigorous” trait boosts the damage output from all techniques by half when Vulcrane is overexerting itself.
2. The “Receptive” trait extends the duration of several conditions by an additional turn for Vulcrane, including Invigorated, Immune, Regenerated, Evading, and Alerted states.

1. Akranox

Overall Stat: 472

  • Akranox can be found in Tasa Desert, Kisiwa.

In the realm of Temtem, Akranox stands out as a versatile creature, suitable for most scenarios given its Earth and Toxic attributes permit. This Temtem is worth enhancing, not just because it’s powerful, but also due to the adaptability it offers.

Akranox possesses two unique abilities: Book Lungs and Cobweb. Book Lungs shields Akranox from taking half the damage when hit with Water-based skills. Meanwhile, Cobweb is active only under the Poisoned status. When an opponent is poisoned, Cobweb traps them for a duration of 2 turns.
