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 in the mythical world of Temtem, where they can catch wild Temtem, battle them, and go on several different adventures.

9 Best Crystal Type Temtem (& Where To Find Them)

Players can find some great Crystal-type Temtems, assuming they know where to look!

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.

Updated on January 23, 2025, by Mehrdad Khayyat: While they don't come with immunity against any certain condition or status effect, Water Temtems are quite strong against Earth, Fire, and Digital creatures, which makes them quite beneficial in a variety of battles.

Top-notch Water Temtems come with impressive SPATK stats. Overall, these creatures also have above-average scores when it comes to HP. Nature, Electric, and Toxic creatures are the biggest nemesis of Water Temtems.

9 Nessla

Overall Stat: 471

nessla temtem
  • Nessla can be found in the following locations:
    • Deniz: Thalassian Cliffs, Sillaro River, Sea-Queen's Aquarium
    • Cipanku: Rice Fields, Sacred Lake
    • Tucma: Mines of Mictlan

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.

8 Saipat

Overall Stat: 476

saipot temtem
  • Saipat can be found in the following locations:
    • Deniz: Gifted Bridges, Sillaro River, Windward Fort, Prasine Coast, Aquamarina Caves, Arissola Dojo, Saipark, See Queen's Aquarium, Thalassian Cliffs
    • Arbury: Loch Aduar, Meadowdale
    • Tucma: Xolot Reservoir
    • Cipanklu: Rice Fields

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.

7 Kalabyss

Overall Stat: 446

katabyss temtem
  • Kalabyss can be found in the following locations:
    • Tucma: Gardens of Aztlan, Xolot Reservoir
    • Deniz: Sea-Queen's Aquarium
  • Players can also evolve a Kalazu after 18 levels to obtain 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.

TemTem-03-1
The 8 Best Mental Type Temtem (& Where To Find Them)

Mental type Temtem are strong fighters and have a wide range of abilities and effects that players can use to their advantage. These are best ones.

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.

6 Platimous

Overall Stat: 462

platimous temtem
  • Platimous can be found in Dabmis' Rest, Deniz, but it requires a TemCardX to be acquired.
  • An easier way to get Platimous is to find a Platox from the following locations, and then evolve it:
    • Deniz: Saipark, Sillaro River, Sea-Queen's Aquarium
  • Platox itself is also an evolution of Platypet

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.

5 Ukama

Overall Stat: 469

ukama temtem
  • Ukama can be found in the following locations:
    • Deniz: Sea-Queen's Aquarium
    • Tucma: Kakama Cenote
  • Ukama can also be obtained by evolving an Umishi after 14 levels.

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.

4 Wiplump

Overall Stat: 474

Wiplump-Temtem
  • Wiplump can be found in the following locations:
    • Deniz: Sillaro River
    • Tucma: Kakama Cenote
    • Cipanku: Rice Fields, The Highbelow
  • Wiplump can also be obtained by evolving a Fomu after 20 levels.

Putting ATK (40) and DEF (50) aside, Wiplump features promising stats all around. It comes with an SPATK score of 88, which is the strongest aspect of Wiplump. STA (80) and SPDEF (80) are other strong stats of this Temtem.

Best Melee Temtem
10 Best Melee Type Temtem (& Where To Find Them)

Players interested in finding the best Melee-type Temtem can find them here!

Originating from Water and Wind types, Wiplump features Plethoric and Patient traits, none of which are exclusive. Plethoric grants a 30% SPD boost as long as Wiplump's HP is 70% or above. Patient, on the other hand, restores 15% of max STA if the creature uses a technique that has a Hold characteristic.

3 Piraniant

Overall Stat: 482

Piraniant-Temtem
  • Piraniant can be found in Sea-Queen's Aquarium, Deniz.
  • Piraniant can also be obtained by evolving a Pewki after 13 levels.

Piraniant performs strongly in battles with significant HP (90), ATK (79), and DEF (85) ratings, while making sure none of the weaker stats falls below 50. Despite being an evolution, players have a chance to find Piraniant in the wilderness too, though the drop rate is only 10%.

Possessing the Patient trait, Piraniant players are suggested to use techniques with the Hold aspect, as it will restore 15% of their STA. This creature also benefits from the Energy Reserves trait that grants it bonus ATK along with the Invigorated condition for 2 turns whenever the HP drops below 45%.

2 Shuine

Overall Stat: 486

Shuine-Temtem
  • Shuine can be found in Kakama Cenote, Tucma.

Shuine benefits from both Water and Crystal characteristics, and all of its stats are above average, excluding HP. The amazing STA (90) pool allows Shuine to be quite useful in battles. The SPD (81) is also impressive for Shuine.

This creature doesn't have any evolutions and is the result of none. So, with a drop rate of only 5%, it's safe to say that obtaining Shuine could take a long time in Temtem. The creature is also the only owner of the Guardian trait that prevents Shuine's ally from getting any negative stat change or being affected by Conditions such as Cold, Burned, Frozen, Doomed, and Poisoned. The other trait, Immunity, prevents Shuine itself from taking Toxic Technique damage.

1 Oceara

Overall Stat: 481

oceeara temtem
  • Oceara can be found in Aguamarina Caves, Deniz.

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.
