Neutral
Water
Wind
Nature
Fire
Toxic
Crystal
Earth
Electric
Melee
Mental
Digital
- An Ice Person: Though ice is technically part of Water, some neutral types like Yowlar and Momo have winter/polar themes and can inflict the cold status.
- Casting a Shadow: Darkness, which isolates all Tems on the battlefield so they can't use synergies. Ironic, given that this type's color is white.
- Non-Elemental: Essentially the closest thing to "no type" and holder of the majority of generic physical actions like biting and licking. However, in-universe this is actually a wastebasket for all Temtem not within other types, and indeed some moves seem elemental enough on their own.
- Super-Scream: Nearly all sound-based moves are here, like Shrilling Voice.
Water
- Heal It with Water: Sanative Rain heals all Temtem on the battlefield.
- Ice Magic Is Water: Most ice-based techniques fall under this type.
- Making a Splash: Most Water Temtem are based on aquatic creatures, and Water techniques are themed around high-pressure water, ice, or cleansing.
- Water Is Blue: The element is color-coded as ocean blue and nearly all Water Temtem are blue to some extent.
Wind
- An Ice Person: Though most ice moves are water, Wind gets Blizzard.
- Blow You Away: Wind Temtem naturally can control air, though their moves also cover ice, Feather Flechettes, and Super-Speed. In-universe, they are also the closest thing to light, since Tuwai's evolutions can cast Pansolar Beam.
- Feather Flechettes: Feather Gattling blasts the target with a stream of sharp feathers.
- Healing Winds: It is the most effective type against Toxic types, presumably because of this trope. However, few moves actually boost or heal.
- Razor Wind: Wind Blade and Boomerang are both depicted as blasts of air slicing the opponent.
- Super-Speed: Supersonic Speed can make your Temtem slice the opponent at high velocity.
- White Magic: Gives this impression at times, considering their angelic apparence and strength against Toxic types.
- Wind Is Green: It is coded as a cyan tone, and pure-Wind Temtem tend to be green to some extent. Not so much when other types are involved, though.
Nature
- Color-Coded Elements: A distinctive lime green, perhaps to distinguish it from the cyan green of Wind.
- Green Thumb: The type mostly revolves around Planimals and is lime green to boot.
- Nature Equals Plants: Nearly all Nature moves involve plants, with some life-related exceptions.
- Poisonous Person: In spite of the presence of a Toxic type, many plague-related moves are also within this type, and most Nature-types can inflict the poison status.
- Vine Tentacles: Frond Whip is depicted as a vine lashing the target.
- White Magic: It is the type with the most healing and support moves.
Fire
- Fire Is Red: The type is red-coded and nearly all are within shades of orange at least, though a number of blue-colored ones were introduced in the final updates as well.
- Meteor-Summoning Attack: Several of these, which also happen to be some of the most devastating, as falling flaming rocks tend to be highly destructive.
- No-Sell: Fire-types cannot be burned.
- Playing with Fire: Pretty straightforward, though some lava, embers, and asteroids are thrown in as well.
Toxic
- Dark Is Not Evil: Represented by the color black and most tend to be Walking Wasteland, but they are not any more evil than other Temtem. This seems to be a thing in-universe, as there are PSAs educating the public about this misconception, with Platypet as the mascot.
- No-Sell: Toxic-types cannot be poisoned.
- Poisonous Person: Venom, spores, plague, acid, toxic fumes, radiation. If it can make you ill, it's in this type.
- Technicolor Toxin: Played with. The element is coded as black and most of these temtem are also black, but their attacks are purple. One gets the impression that this is an inversion of Purple Is the New Black.
Crystal
- Color-Coded Elements: Coded in a deep magenta, though half of them are actually green.
- Feather Flechettes: Crystal Plume Gattling is only learned by the two Crystal birds — Tuvine and Chimurian — and pelts the target with a blast of crystals.
- Gemstone Assault: Most Crystal-type moves revolve around throwing crystals, but in-universe, they have other properties associated with healing and purity.
- Gem Tissue: Most have crystals as part of their anatomy.
- Glowing Gem: Allegedly in flavor they can glow and provide light, but in practice, none of their moves revolve around light.
- White Magic: In-universe only, where crystals and crystal types can heal and purify. No moves reflect this though.
Earth
- Dishing Out Dirt: Obviously, with an emphasis on rock and mud.
- Holy Hand Grenade: Divine Inspiration is an earth move of all things. It heals the user and its ally, and raises their special defence.
- The Power of the Sun: Allegedly are hardened by sunlight, but no moves aside possibly from Divine Inspiration allude to this.
- Yellow Earth, Green Earth: Coded as brown and indeed nearly all are brown.
Electric
- Bolt of Divine Retribution: In-universe, Electric Temtem are worshipped as kami spirits, and some moves reflect this.
- Extra-ore-dinary: Some moves revolve around electrified metal.
- Shock and Awe: Electric techniques include chaining lightning around the entire battlefield and calling down a flurry of lightning bolts. In the game's setting, Electric-type Temtem were revered as kami (nature spirits) in the highlands of Cipanku.
- Yellow Lightning, Blue Lightning: The type is coded as yellow and most are yellow as well, but some are blue or both blue and yellow.
Melee
- Bare-Fisted Monk: Most of its physical attacks involve the use of martial arts.
- Color-Coded Elements: Orange, ranging from bright to brown.
- Ki Attacks: Many emit bright lights, implied to be this.
- Soul Power: Inner Spirit channels the soul of a dragon-like Temtem to kill your opponent.
- Time-Delayed Death: The TC-exclusive technique 5PPEHnote dooms the target, knocking them out in five turns.
Mental
- Casting a Shadow: With the exception of Darkness (a neutral move), most darkness-related moves are Mental. Nearly all Mental moves have a dark purple color or drain the light out of the fight.
- Dark Is Not Evil: They are represented by the color purple and many are creepy and ghost-like, but again, they're not inherently more evil than other Temtem.
- No-Sell: Mental-types cannot be put to sleep.
- Psychic Powers: Naturally, ranging from energy beams to inducing fear.
- Purple Is the New Black: The closest thing to a dark-type is colored purple.
- Shout-Out: The description of Psychosis says "Never take a shower before checking you're really alone," a reference to the famous shower murder from Psycho.
Digital
- Color-Coded Elements: A dark grey, with most ranging from near black to white.
- Element No. 5: Only recently became a thing, having been manufactured as technology developed.
- Extra-ore-dinary: Most Digital-types seem to be made of metal and a few moves are metal-related.
- Hard Light: Most moves seem to be based on holograms or solid light constructs.
- Light 'em Up: Plasma Beam fires the opponent and even gives burn stats.
- Technopath: Digital-type Temtem generally look robotic, with features such as Tron Lines and Glowing Eyes, while most of its techniques involve computer terminology and data given physical form.
# 001 - Mimit
- Cyclops: Mimit has one large eye.
- Ditto Fighter: Mimit can transform into one Temtem on the battlefield at a time, copying their typing and moveset.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Mimit first appeared in some artwork posted on the official Twitter account for Halloween 2020, about half a year before it was added to the game in the Cipanku update.

- Secret Art: Starting in 0.7.2, the only technique it learns is DNA Extraction, a weak, physical Digital attack that raises the user's speed.
- Technopath: Digital type.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: Both of its traits cause this. Landing Transmog causes it to transform into the next Temtem in clockwise order when it enters the battle, while Striking Transmog transforms it into any Temtem it hits with a physical move.
- Waddling Head: It has a round body with four stubby legs.
# 002 and # 003 - Oree and Zaobian
Oree (left) and Zaobian (right)
Oree was one of the first prototype Digital Temtem created by Nanto Labs, and were designed to be inquisitive. Its evolution, Zaobian, was created using more refined technology and is even more intelligent. An Oree was Max's first Temtem.- Barrier Change Boss: They're the only Temtem to have the Attack<T> trait, which gives them a secondary type corresponding to the technique they're about to use.

# 007 to 009 - Platypet, Platox, and Platimous
Platypet (bottom), Platox (middle), and Platimous (top)
Platypet is one of the most well-known Temtem, as it was originally drawn by a Pokémon fanartist as a fake Water-type starter before a Kickstarter backer bought the rights to it and submitted it as a Temtem design. In-universe, it's the star of a cartoon series that teaches kids that Toxic types can be good friends, too. Its line shares a common ancestor with Saipat, but specialized in surviving in polluted environments, and are successful predators in Tucma as a result.
- Anti-Debuff: Platimous' Determined trait prevents it from receiving negative stat changes. Platox and Platimous also learn Misogi through a Technique Course, which removes all status conditions.

- Dishing Out Dirt: Learn the Earth technique Sand Splatter by level-up.

# 010 and # 011 - Swali and Loali

- Anti-Debuff: They can learn Misogi by Technique Course, which removes all of the user's status conditions.

# 014 and # 015 - Mosu and Magmut
Mosu (left) and Magmut (right)
In prehistoric times, the ancestors of Mosu roamed the Greenglen Forest when it spanned almost half of the Paninsula. It's believed that its evolution, Magmut, developed its fiery mane to adapt to the colder climate of Lochburg's moors.- Bare-Fisted Monk: Both are the Melee type. Since they're based on mammoths and thus don't have very flexible limbs, they don't learn any attacks that involve punching or kicking, so the only Melee attacks they learn involve brute force.
- Dishing Out Dirt: Learn the Earth techniques Sand Splatter by level-up, and Quicksand through a TC.
- Mighty Glacier: They have high HP and offences, but are very slow.

The final evolution, Granpah, is respected by young Wind Temtem because of the many battles it needs to endure to reach that stage.
- Anti-Debuff: Learn Misogi through a Technique Course, which removes all of the user's status conditions.

# 021 and # 022 - Bunbun and Mudrid
Bunbun (left) and Mudrid (right)
The social and easily-tameable Bunbun may be a remnant from when Tucma and Kisiwa were a single island; their crystal paws were influenced by the Tucmani subsurface, but they have strong, Kisiwan, Earth DNA.

The 0.9 update nerfed it further by causing the holder to lose half of its HP when it enters battle for the first time.

They're believed to have arisen from a mutation in a serpentine strand of Nature Temtem, but have remarkably adapted to the noxious environment of Tucma. Its evolution, Nidrasil, was considered a legend until a few decades prior to the events of the game, and scientists still debate how its nervous system copes with three heads.

Its pre-evolution, Orphyll, can have the Apothecary trait, which functions the same as Tri-Apothecary, but the statuses don't last as long.
- Magically Inept Fighter: Orphyll's physical attack is much higher than its special attack.

0b1 (top-left) and 0b10 (bottom)
0b1 was created to be the Digital embodiment of the subatomic particle, whose existence raises more physics questions than it answers. 0b10's physics are even more perplexing — scientists can't explain why they come in pairs, or how their attraction/repulsion system works.

# 051 to # 053 - Towly, Owlhe, and Barnshe
Towly (left), Owlhe (middle), and Barnshe (right)
Due to its large, unnerving eyes, toddlers in Properton have to be taught to not be afraid of Towly.

# 064 and #065: Hoglip and Hedgine

Magmis' native habitat is Anak Volcano, where it can be seen swimming in the lava, but it has been tamed all over the Archipelago to help humans with tasks such as blacksmithing and heating.

# 090 and # 091 - Galvanid and Raignet
Galvanid (left) and Raignet (right)

# 100 and # 101 - Kuri and Kauren
Kuri (left) and Kauren (right)

# 102 to # 104 - Spriole, Deendre, and Cerneaf
Spriole (bottom-left), Deendre (bottom-right), and Cerneaf (back)

Toxolotl (left) and Noxolotl (right)
These Toxic Temtem make their home in the acidic waters of the Xolot Reservoir, and are a symbol of Tucma. Each strand in Toxolotl's mane is said to represent the tribes who originally settled there, and noble Noxolotl is considered to represent the resilience of its people. The player is required to catch a Toxolotl in order to get their surfboard back in Quetzal.

# 107 and # 108 - Blooze and Goolder
Blooze (left) and Goolder (right)

- Anti-Debuff: Goolder learns Antitoxins through a Technique Course, which cures the user and ally of poisoning.
- Blob Monster: Blooze's Tempedia entry describes it as "atavic"note due to its blobby shape. Its legs atrophy when it evolves into Goolder, causing it to lose its upright posture and sprawl onto the ground.

# 109 and # 110 - Zephyruff and Volarend
Zephyruff (left) and Volarend (right)
Zephyruff is a poor flyer until it evolves into Volarend, relying on its speed and sharp claws to defend itself instead. Their ruffs may look like clouds, but they're sturdy enough for chicks to roost on.
- Blow You Away: They're Wind types who can fly. One of Zephyruff's traits is Air Specialist, which powers up its Wind attacks.
- Brutal Bird of Prey: Volarend is described by the Tempedia as temperamental, and has a tendency to drop tamers who don't treat it kindly out of the sky.
- Double-Edged Buff: Both of Volarend's traits raise one stat and lower another; Aerobic raises its speed and reduces its special defense when it uses a Wind-type attack, while Anaerobic raises its special defense and lowers its special attack when it uses a Toxic-type attack.
- Feather Flechettes: Learn Feather Gatling through breeding.
- Nerf: In the 1.3 patch, Volarend's special defence was reduced, it lost Cold Breeze (which inflicts the cold status and had a low enough base power to activate the speed boost from the slingshot at the time), and Toxic Plume gained an extra hold turn.
- Poisonous Person: They're Toxic types, and the ruffs around their necks resemble clouds of noxious gas. One of Zephyruff's traits is Toxic Affinity, which powers up its Toxic attacks.
- Secret Art: Toxic Plume, a special Toxic technique that poisons both opponents. When used with a Crystal-type ally, it lowers their attack as well. Volarend is also the only Temtem to learn Hyperkinetic Strike, a special Wind attack whose damage increases with the user's speed.
# 111 and # 112 - Grumvel and Grumper

- Status Buff: Learn Toughen by level-up, which raises defence, and Stone Wall through a Technique Course, which raises both defences.

# 113 and # 114 - Ganki and Gazuma
Ganki (bottom) and Gazuma (top)
These Electric/Wind Temtem were once revered as kami in Cipanku, and they're still appreciated there. Wild Ganki seem to instinctively respect Gazuma as their elders, who lead flocks of their kind in Iwaba.

- Harmless Freezing: Learns Hibernate, which freezes the user for three turns but restores its HP.
- An Ice Person: Learns Ice Shuriken by level-up.

- Unicorn: While it more closely resembles the kelpie, Oceara has a small horn on the tip of its muzzle and is very rare.

- Bare-Fisted Monk: Learns the Melee techniques Show Off and Oshi-Dashi by level-up, as well as Block through a Technique Course.
- Bears Are Bad News: It resembles a giant polar bear over twice the height of an adult human, and it has a fearsome reputation.

- An Ice Person: It can learn Ice Cubes through breeding, and its Secret Art Winter Call inflicts the cold status.

- Nerf: Its HP and defences were decreased in the 0.7.2 update.
- Non-Elemental: Neutral type.
- Secret Art: Winter Call, which gives every Temtem on the battlefield the cold status for two turns. Its description mentions Yowlar's home of Kilima Peaks.
# 117 and # 118 - Droply and Garyo

- Dishing Out Dirt: They're Earth types who have stones embedded in their frills.

- Status Buff: Droply's Amphibian trait raises its speed and attack when it's hit by a Water technique.
# 119 to # 121 - Broccoblin, Broccorc, and Broccolem

The naturally-shy and well-camouflaged Broccoblin can make a great friend for tamers of all ages. It becomes more sociable when it evolves into Broccorc, which is popular among old gardeners.

- Anti-Debuff: Its Guardian trait protects its ally from negative stat changes and the burned, poisoned, and cold status conditions.
- Delightful Dragon: It's a Feathered Serpent that subsists on acidic chemicals dissolved in water, purifying it in the process — which is a useful skill, because it lives in the Death World that is Tucma. Its Tempedia entry calls it "a sight to behold", and the guards in Quetzal wear uniforms inspired by it.
- Feathered Serpent: Fitting for an island based on Central America, Shuine resembles Quetzalcoatl. It has two feather-like projections at the end of its serpentine body.
- Gemstone Assault: It's a Crystal type with a crystal between its horns.

- Anti-Debuff: Learns Untangle through a TC, which cures the target of the trapped status condition.

- Cartoon Creature: It's a big-eared, mammalian... thing with a rhino horn.

Pupoise (bottom-left) and Loatle (top-right)
Pupoise is one of the more intelligent Temtem, capable of using simple tools and other innovations on its own, such as the stick it always holds. When it evolves into the eerie Loatle, it levitates the stick using psychokinesis and impales itself with it, but that's far from the strangest thing about this half-alive being...
- Ascended Glitch: Loatle's Seppuku trait dooms the target when the holder knocks itself out. Originally, this was supposed to only activate when it knocked itself out due to overexertion, but due to a glitch, it was also activated by recoil damage. This was fixed in version 0.7.3, but people liked the original version so much that it was reverted in 0.9.

- Not Quite Flight: Tuvine is a giant toucan made of emeralds. According to the Tempedia, scientists think it has mineral organs that produce magnetic repulsion to aid its flight.
- Oxymoronic Being: Turoc's Tempedia entry describes it as "a meeting of opposites - a flying rock, a stone on wings".
- Playing with Fire: Tulcan is Fire type whose crest and tail glow like fire. According to the Tempedia, it's the remnant of another species that once lived on Anak Volcano.
- The Power of the Sun: The archtamers use all six evolutions to cast Pansolar Beam to blast Konstantinos into oblivion.

- Starter Mon: Professor Konstantinos gives the player a Tuwai after the first rival battle.

- Tron Lines: Tuwire has a glowing stripe around its neck, and its wing feathers are the same colour.
# 137 - Kinu
So elusive that some tamers believe they're only a legend, Kinu are revered as the guardian spirits of the Giant Banyan.

Nuru Lodge holds a weekly competition to see who can catch a Koish that has a specific combination of features.
- Anti-Debuff: Learns Misogi through a Technique Course, which removes all of the user's status conditions. Rainbow Guard gives it the immune status, which prevents it from receiving negative status conditions.

- Making a Splash: All of its forms have Water as their primary type.
- Nerf: In the 0.9 update, its Synergy Master trait was replaced with Synergy Adept, which increases the damage dealt by synergies by 15% instead of 25%, due to some forms' overwhelming presence in the metagame.

# 144 - Vulffy
The perceptive and aware Vulffy thrives in the vast, untamed wilds, but is also inquisitive enough to not shy away from human contact.

# 145 and # 146 - Chubee and Waspeen
Chubee (top-left) and Waspeen (bottom-right)
Chubee was created as an experiment in artificial pollination. While it's not a great flyer, nobody could predict it would evolve into the completely flightless Waspeen.
- Blow You Away: Chubee is Wind type that's always airborne.
- Discard and Draw: Chubee exchanges its Wind type for Crystal when it evolves into Waspeen.
- Gemstone Assault: Waspeen is Crystal type with crystal spikes growing out of its wings.

- Stone Wall: Waspeen has high HP and defences, but is slow and has middling attacking stats.

- Technopath: Both are Digital type.
- Tron Lines: They have glowing slits on their eyes.
- Wings Do Nothing: Waspeen loses the ability to fly upon evolving because its wings are weighed down by crystal spikes. As a trade-off, it can use them to attack.
# 147 and # 148 - Mawtle and Mawmense
Mawtle (bottom-left) and Mawmense (top-right)
Mawtle's smiling face is a meme among young tamers, but it's also a solid battler and a technological marvel. It evolves into the formidable and sought-after Mawmense.

- Green Thumb: They're Nature types who live in a forest and appear to have pelts made of leaves.

# 150 to # 152 - Minttle, Minox, and Minothor
Minttle (bottom-left), Minox (bottom-right), and Minothor (back)
Minttle may look sweet and innocent, but it has potent mindpower. For centuries, herds of them have grazed in the Greenglen Forest under the watchful eyes of its evolution, Minox. It was also the first mount made available to players, and is received from completing a sidequest at the Prancing Minox Inn. The final evolution is Minothor, which is depicted in some of the earliest paintings in Chini Grotto; its ability to convert its Mental power into electricity (and vice versa) must've looked like magic to early humans.
- Anti-Debuff: Minttle can have the Relaxed trait, which restores its HP and cures it of sleep and/or poisoning when it rests for a turn.
- Forced Sleep: Before 0.9, they could learn Hypnosis by level-up.

- Use Your Head: Minox and Minothor learn Head Ram by level-up.
# 153 - Maoala
Originating from Omninesia, Maoala has been selectively bred for generations by the Lochburg Dojo, so it's developed a taste for whisky and good brawls.

- Eyes Always Shut: Its horizontal pupils give it the appearance of this, befitting for a Temtem whose main gimmick is inflicting sleep.
- Forced Sleep: Its Hypnotist trait puts both opponents and its ally to sleep when it enters the battlefield, and it can learn Jinxed Whisper to inflict this on one target as well.
- Laid-Back Koala: Maoala isn't described as lazy, but its Hypnotist trait puts all the other Tems on the battlefield to sleep, and its horizontal pupils make it looks like it has its Eyes Always Shut.
- Poisonous Person: Learns the Toxic technique Paralyzing Poison by level-up, which poisons the target.
- Psychic Powers: Mental type.
- Status Buff: Its Haka trait boosts both of its ally's attacking stats the first time it's sent out.
# 154 to # 156 - Venx, Venmet, and Vental
Venx (front), Venmet (left), and Vental (right)
Venx is always wrapped in bandages, and young tamers love to customise theirs. Ones with the Parrier trait evolve into the resilient and powerful Venmet, while ones with the Arcane Wrap trait evolve into the fashionable Vental.

- Gameplay and Story Segregation: According to its Tempedia entry, there are urban legends that Chimurian was extracted from ores in Quetzal. It can only be found in Arbury.
- Gemstone Assault: Crystal type.

- Green Thumb: Nature type.
- Lightning Bruiser: Has high defences to back up its speed and attack.

# 158 - Arachnyte
The spider-like Arachnyte is an efficient package of Arburian design; its multi-core processing co-ordinates its movement, visual input, and combat subroutines.
- Barrier Change Boss: Its Adaptive trait changes its secondary type (Digital) to the type of the attack it just received and boosts its special attack, but only once per battle.
- Big Creepy-Crawlies: It's 1.7m tall, which is about the same height as an adult human.

# 159 and # 160 - Thaiko and Monkko
Thaiko (front) and Monkko (back)
Thaiko was created as a joint project between Lochburg and Neoedo. It shows great expertise in combat, but comes with the downside of hairballs. Its evolution, Monkko, has received advanced martial arts training inspired by Cipanki monks' kung-fu.
- Bare-Fisted Monk: They're Melee types, though despite their prominent fists, they're more proficient at special attacks.
- An Ice Person: Monkko learns Blue Screen by level-up, which freezes the target.
- Status Buff: Monkko learns Zen Meditation by TC, which raises both attacking stats.
- Super-Scream: Monkko learns Soul Shout by level-up.
- Technopath: Digital type.
- Tron Lines: Their paws, ears, and the orbs around their necks are covered in glowing, blue lines.
# 161 and # 162 - Anahir and Anatan
Anahir (bottom-left) and Anatan (top-right)
Poor Anahir was created by Dr. Hamijo subjecting an unknown Crystal Temtem to the heat of Anak Volcano in an attempt to create a Diamond type. As a result, it's so traumatised that both of its traits are detrimental — Trauma reduces the corresponding defensive stat whenever it's attacked, while Flawed Crystal causes it to take more damage from types it resists. However, if a tamer treats it with enough love and kindness to max out its TVs, it'll overcome its trauma and evolve into Anatan.
- Anti-Escape Mechanism: Chains Hit traps the target, and Quartz Dirt traps both targets when it synergises with an Earth-type ally.
- Balance Buff: The 0.8.3 update was supposed to raise its base stamina by 11 points (from 37 to 48), but they raised its speed (from 32 to 43) instead by mistake. This was corrected in 0.9. A few updates later, Anatan's HP was increased as well.
- Gemstone Assault: They're Crystal types whose faces and limbs are covered with armor-like, crystalline plates.
- Gradual Regeneration: Anatan's Self-Care trait gives it one turn's worth of regeneration whenever it's attacked.
- Heal the Cutie: You find it being abused by Clan Belsoto's head researcher For Science!, and as a result it has the Trauma ability which lowers its Defense every time it's hit, or the alternate Flawed Crystal, which causes it to take more damage from types it resists. If the player is willing to put in the effort to raise it, its final form Anatan gains the Self-Care trait, that gives it a Healing Factor, or Protective Crystal, which reduces damage from Electric, Mental, and Fire attacks.
- Meaningful Name: Anahir is a combination of Anak and terlahir (Indonesian for "born"), because it was born in the Anak Volcano.
- Playing with Fire: They're Fire types whose bodies look like molten lava.
- Secret Art: Chains Hit, a physical Fire attack that deals damage to one target and traps it for two turns.
- Status Buff: They learn Heat Up by level-up, which raises attack, and Sharpening by TC, which raises attack and speed.
- Stone Wall: Their defensive stats are some of the highest among all Temtem, but the rest of their stats are lacklustre.
- Support Party Member: Anatan's Protective Crystal trait not only reduces the damage its team takes from the types Crystal resists, but it also reduces the damage of any attacks its ally receives by 10%.
# 163 - Tyranak
A Fire/Nature Mythical Temtem that can be obtained from the Anak Sanctum. Temtemologists believe it is the last remnant of the MegaTem that roamed the Paninsula in ancient times before it broke apart into the islands.
- Green Thumb: Nature type.
- Living Dinosaurs: It's based on Tyrannosaurus, and its Tempedia entry describes it as "the last living relic from a pre-human past."

- Secret Art: Outgrowth, a physical Nature attack that hits both opponents, depletes 20% of their stamina, and traps them for two turns.
- T. Rexpy: Tyranak is based on the T. rex, and the Tempedia describes it as a relic from prehistoric times. Judging from the names of its traits (Intimidator and Frightening), it seems to have a fearsome reputation. Unlike many examples, it has a few feathers; or rather, leaves that resemble feathers on its cheeks and tail. Also, befitting for a Temtem based on a creature that lived at the very end of the Cretaceous, it learns several techniques that involve meteors.
# 164 - Volgon
An Electric-type Mythical Temtem that can be obtained from the Highbelow Sanctum at the Sacred Lake. In Cipanki lore, they are said to be born from lightning to roam the heavens, and occasionally visit the archipelago to befriend humans.

- Psychic Powers: It's a Mental-type that uses its powerful telekinesis to move rocks.
- Secret Art: It's the only Temtem which learns Selfless Ruination, a Mental-type status technique which reduces its doom turns by two, raises both its defences, and gives it the evading status for one turn.
