Deniz is the first region players visit in Temtem. A particularly strong Temtem to start with is Ganki. We explain why that is, where you can find and evolve it, in this guide.
What is Ganki? Ganki is a Temtem with the elements Electric and Wind. The Temtem looks like an oversized bee. You can find Ganki relatively early, as it is one of the common Temtems in Deniz. However, it is worth having Ganki in your team and evolving it. The traits and possible evolution make Ganki particularly strong on the first island Deniz and in the first dojo.
That’s why Ganki is special: Ganki is the only Electric Temtem that can be caught on the first island. If you’re looking for a strong counter against Water and Wind, Ganki is the way to go. On the first island, there are also a few particularly rare Temtem to catch with Nessla, Oceara, and Barnshie.
Why is Ganki so strong in Deniz? On the first island of Deniz, you mainly fight opponents with the elements Water and Wind. The best counter against Water is Electric, and here Ganki is the best choice.
Counter means that you deal double damage to another element with one element.
Even the boss in the first dojo, Sophia, uses Water and Wind. Ganki is therefore very useful for this battle as well.
What abilities does Ganki have?
The starting abilities of Ganki are not particularly strong at the beginning, and it cannot attack either.
- Until level 5, Ganki only has buffs like “Spark” and “Quickness” available. However, they do not deal damage to the opponent, and at the beginning, buffs are rather uninteresting.
- From level 5, there is a first decent attack, “Wind Blade,” that relies on the Wind type.
- Only at level 7 do you unlock the first Electric attack: “Thunder Shock.”
- At level 16, “Chain Lightning” follows, another Electric ability that also causes high Electric damage but can hit your own Temtem as well.
- Finally, at level 32, you get the ability “Electric Storm,” which deals high damage to a single target.
Ganki: Locations and Evolution to Gazuma
Where can you find Ganki? You can find Ganki on the Gift Bridges and at the top platform of the Windward Fortress. You can also find and catch Ganki in the Thalassian Cliffs.
Can Ganki evolve? Yes, Ganki can evolve. With enough experience points, Ganki evolves into Gazuma. With the right tips, leveling up also goes significantly faster. With the Coward’s Cloak, there is another way to level up Temtem quickly.
My Ganki isn’t leveling up, what’s wrong? Ganki needs to level up a total of 27 levels in order to evolve. This means if your Ganki is at level 10 when caught, it needs to level up to level 37 in order to evolve into Gazuma. So you must add an additional 27 levels to your starting level.
The evolution happens automatically after the last necessary level up, with a nice animation transforming Ganki into Gazuma.
