In the Pokémon MMO Temtem, hatching and breeding new Temtems play an important role. In this guide, we will tell you everything important about breeding.
Why should you breed Temtems? Through the breeding system, you can obtain Temtems that you can shape according to your wishes. This way, you can manipulate the attributes that we have already introduced to you in detail to obtain the perfect Temtem.
Additionally, strong attacks can be passed down through breeding that a Temtem otherwise might not be able to learn at all.
All you need for this are: two parent Temtems, a lot of time, and a lot of money. You can find tips for farming Pansuns here.
When can you start breeding? Temtems can be bred at a breeding center on Omni Islands at the northern Canopfad, also known as Route 5.
You reach the islands after leaving Deniz by airship. You must complete the first dojo and obtain the airship ticket with the surfboard.
A Temtem Pair for Breeding
How does breeding work? For breeding, you need to do little more than drop off two parents at the breeding center and then wait. However, you need to keep a few things in mind:
- There must always be one male and one female Temtem.
- The two Temtems must be compatible, meaning of the same type (for example, Electric+Electric or Wind+Wind).
- For Temtems with multiple attributes, both count for breeding.
- The type of the bred Temtem is determined by the mother Temtem.
How long does a hatching process take? Generating the egg takes about 25 minutes in real time and even only 15 minutes if both parents are the same Temtem.
The hatching, on the other hand, strongly depends on the type of the Temtem. The process takes between 5 and 45 minutes. Unlike Pokémon, however, no steps need to be walked.
Newborn Temtems always start at level 1 and need to be trained anew. The XP Share will help you with that.
How often can Temtems breed? In the interface, you may have noticed a tree at the right side of the Temtems. This indicates, with its fullness, how fertile the Temtems still are. Ideally, the tree has 7 leaves, allowing 7 offspring to be bred.
Freshly caught Temtems usually have a full tree, while creatures with many SV-values may have lower fertility.
The fertility level also affects the newborn Temtem. If it was conceived with low fertility, it starts with a lower level.
Manipulating Attributes
How to manipulate the attributes? During breeding, a new Temtem emerges, which can inherit the SV-values of the parents. This works as follows:
- There is a 40% chance that the better SV-value of the parents will be inherited.
- There is a 40% chance that the average value of the parents will be passed down.
- There is a 20% chance that the worse value will be passed down.
So if you have two Temtems with exactly opposite SV-value distributions, your chances are very good that the new Temtem will have better values. SV-values can only be improved through breeding or with very rare items.
Example:
- The original Tuwai has 172 SV-values, the Paharac has 215.
- The new Tuwai will, on average, have 207 SV-values.
- With some luck, it can, however, get significantly more and reach up to 260 SV-values.
- With the help of items, you can also positively influence the luck.
Targeted Attribute Passing: At the breeding center, you can also buy items that can be used during breeding. This allows you to enforce the passing down of certain SV-values. To do this, you give the respective item to the respective parent Temtem before breeding.
Theoretically, one could create a Temtem that contains all SV-values at 50 through many steps. However, this is extremely laborious and expensive.
What about Luma Temtems? There is also a chance for Luma Temtems in breeding. These are special versions that automatically have 3 SV-values maximized. They are also perfect for further breeding. The chances are as follows:
- 1:6,000 when you do not use a Luma Temtem.
- 1:600 when one of the parents is a Luma Temtem.
- 1:60 when both parents are Luma Temtems.
Luma Temtems can also appear in the wild and even your three starter Temtems can theoretically be a Luma version right from the start.
But no matter how good your Temtem ends up being, it is just as important that you master the synergies in battle:
