All Temtem evolutions, and how to evolve your Temtem

It's time to evolve some 'tems.

Across Temtem, you’re expected to capture a dozen of colourful creatures and battle it out using them. You’ll not only need to capture and tame various temtems, but you’ll need to train them and devise a strong squad, too, if you want to make it past any Dojos.

Check out all the new features coming to Temtem as a part of the 1.0 launch!

Temtem might feel familiar, considering the many similarities it shares with Pokémon, but of course, some things function a little differently than what you may be used to. Evolution is one of such things; if anything, it’s easier. However, given that Temtem is only just leaving Early Access, there are still some evolutions yet to be discovered!

All in all, catching temtems and seeing them evolve is an exciting prospect, which is exactly why we’ve put together the following guide to help you evolve your new pals. In this guide, we’ve explained all known evolutions across Temtem, and how to evolve all of your beloved ‘tems.

How does evolution work in Temtem?

Evolution works similarly to Pokémon, but in case this is your first venture with taming critters and training them for battle, evolution needs various conditions to occur.

For many ‘tems, they’ll evolve once reaching a certain level. This means simply keeping them in your squad of ‘tems and using them in battles so that they can level up! This is simple, and will often happen naturally; you can also cancel the evolution process as it happens if you don’t wish for your temtem to evolve just yet.

Other ‘tems need different conditions to evolve. For example, Azuroc can only evolve while traded, meanwhile which evolution of Towly you get entirely depends on its gender, and so forth.

Fortunately, all of the evolution requirements in Temtem are relatively easy to meet with time and ‘tem training. If you’re particularly eager to evolve one of your companions, you can go about instantly evolving them using Minimonoliths, but these aren’t easy to come by.

How can I instantly evolve my Temtem?

In Temtem, an item called Minimonolith can be used to instantly evolve a temtem at any time. One of these can be found in The Highbelow, and another in the Gardens of Aztlan. For any further Minimonoliths, you can earn them as a reward from the following tasks:

  • Nuru Lodge Koish of the Week - A task that requires you, weekly, to capture a Koish with specific features.
  • Highbelow Sanctum Lair 1-3, provided you acquired a Volgon’s egg that same week - Only available after having accepted the ‘Through a Gate, Darkly’ quest.
  • Postal Service - These are daily quests that can be picked up at the Uhuru or Kisiwa post office.
  • Wishing Wells - Toss WishYouWell Coins into these wells to receive rewards.

Starter Evolutions in Temtem

When you first step into the world of Temtem, you’ll meet with Professor Konstantine who presents you with three starting temtems to choose from.

We’ve explained exactly which starter is best, but the decision is ultimately up to you. Regardless, here’s what each starting temtem ultimately evolves into!

Kelsey's (she/they) passion for gaming began with Resident Evil, and it's been rather difficult to get them to shut up about horror games since. When they're not scoping out new scares or commiserating the cancellation of Silent Hills, they can often be found fawning over cute Pokémon and Kirby, or being very average at FPS games. They've been in games media for 3 years.
