![]() But in Temtem, it’s one of the first things I get to do. In Pokémon, it takes hours before I get to buddy up with my favorite type of creatures: Psychic types. That being the case, I chose the type of creature Pokémon has never let me capture so early in the game. The creatures I can choose from at the start don’t have clearly defined advantages and disadvantages over the others, so my decision to choose my first partner was a bit more ambiguous and exciting. But when it came time to choose my first companion, I didn’t get the usual rock-paper-scissor pairings of strengths and weaknesses among the three choices available to me. Houchic is my strong, big-brained child and is part of the wonderful bait-and-switch that helps set Temtem apart from Pokémon.Īs I’ve been trained to do for years when picking starters in one of Nintendo’s creature capturing games, I had assumed that the trio of little monsters I had access to from the get-go would all be each other’s natural enemy. For the enemies you’ll face across the beginning of the game, Smazee’s Melee/Neutral nature makes it a safe bet. Their basic attacks are neutral, so you’re not going to do any extra damage early on, but they’re also not weak against much so you won’t deal half damage either. Playing with Smazee is … like playing with a generalized Temtem. I figured Smazee, being a Melee type would fit that approach. In most games, I tend to play fairly generalized characters until I understand the game better so my options are open. While this is great information, it doesn’t really help make a decision. And Houchic is Mental type, and strong against Neutral and Melee. ![]() Crystle is Crystal type, and strong against Fire and Earth. Smazee, you’re told while deciding, is Melee type, and strong against Earth and Crystal. I was aware, though, that types were a thing to consider. If you’re the type to turtle up and play a tank-like style, this evolutionary line is a good choice.Īs a newcomer to Pokémon-like games in general, I was at a loss for choosing a starter. Crystle evolves into Sherald, which continues to play up the Temtem’s DEF stats. You may also want to consider the evolutions of the starter Temtem when making your pick. Crystal Spikes will deal the most damage, if you’re looking to boost Crystle in that regard. (Houchic’s got the highest Special Defense at first, though.)Ĭrystal may not be the strongest starter when it comes to pure attack power, but it does have some strong moves. Crystle is stronger in Defense (DEF) than the other two starters, with higher stats in both HP and DEF. All of the starters are pretty weak when Temtem begins - and, I mean, that’s the point … to get stronger over time - but choices do matter for the early game, at least a bit. Instead, it’s Crystal.Ĭrystle, like other Crystal Temtem, is weak against Fire and Earth types, but strong against Electric and Mental. I’m fond of grass Pokémon like Bulbasaur and Oddish, so when I saw Crystle, I chose it immediately. In Pokémon, I know what to expect, and I tried to use that logic to choose a creature in Temtem. ![]() CrystleĬhoosing a Temtem starter was hard. And then just below those, you can look at the starter Temtem stats arranged in a table that makes it easy to compare their raw numbers. Since we can’t give you direct or definitive advice on which to choose (there is no best starter), three of us will make cases for our choices below. And, you’ll soon be catching additional Temtem with your TemCards to round out your squad. This early in the game, you can’t really make a wrong decision. You have three choices: Smazee, a Melee type Crystle, a Crystal type and Houchic, a Mental type. Houchic's name is derived from Houdini and Psychic.Right at the beginning of Temtem, you’ll choose your starter.Houchic has the lowest base of all unevolved Mental Temtem.And by extension, all unevolved Mental Temtem.Houchic has the lowest base of all Mental Temtem. ![]()
