It\u2019s the biggest decision that you make through the game, and though you can pick up all three with a bit of smarts, it still matters which you opt for first. <\/p>\n<p>So, we\u2019ve put together this <strong>Temtem starters<\/strong> guide, laying out the details on the three main monsters, their evolutionary paths, and some other useful tidbits for your trainer adventure. Like we said earlier, you can pick up all three by the end of your journey, but whichever one you go for will have an impact on how you play the early game, and how you go about party composition. <\/p>\n<p>For more trainer advice, be sure to see if there are any available freebies with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/temtem\/codes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Temtem codes<\/a>, or bone up on your battle awareness with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/temtem\/type-chart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Temtem type chart<\/a>.

With the variety of Temtem you can catch to bolster your team, and no real type advantage across all the dojo and story battles, it\u2019s really down to personal preference which of the three you opt for. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/tem-tem-starters-key-art.jpg\" class=\"gallery\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38928 lazyload\" title=\"tem-tem-starters-key-art\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/themes\/legion\/dist\/images\/lazyload_placeholder.svg\" alt=\"High def images of the three Temtem starters Smazee, Houchic, and Crystle, jumping for joy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/tem-tem-starters-key-art.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>What are the Temtem starter evolutions?<\/h2>\n<p>All three of the Temtem starters have a three-tier evolutionary path, but the amount of training each starter Temtem needs is different for each. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Crystle \/ Sherald \/ Tortenite<\/strong> \u2013 Crystle first evolves into Sherald after 30 levels of training before transforming into the mighty Tortenite as a final evolution after training Sherald through 21 levels. Tortenite gets the addition of toxic typing to make it a crystal\/toxic hybrid, as well as a special attack boost on its previous forms that makes it much more potent in battle. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Smazee \/ Baboong \/ Seismunch<\/strong> \u2013 Smazee\u2019s evolutionary path turns the melee monkey into Baboong after 29 levels, and finally Seismunch after 23 levels with Baboong. The final evolution Seismunch is another dual type, combining melee and rock for some impressive physical attacks. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Houchic \/ Tental \/ Nagaise<\/strong> \u2013 Houchic evolves into its second stage, Tental, after 29 levels, before fully evolving into the final stage form and mental\/water hybrid Nagaise after another 24 levels of training Tental. Nagaise is by far the most potent special attacker of the fully evolved starter trio, but its low HP makes it a little bit of a glass cannon in tough battles. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/tem-tem-starters-final-evo.jpg\" class=\"gallery\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38927 lazyload\" title=\"tem-tem-starters-final-evo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/themes\/legion\/dist\/images\/lazyload_placeholder.svg\" alt=\"All three of the Temtem starters final evolutions on a custom made image\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/tem-tem-starters-final-evo.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>Temtem starter locations<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to find the Temtem starters in the wild, we\u2019ve put together a little table to indicate where in the wide world of the Airborne Archipelago you need to look.
