pokemon-inspired creature collecting game Temtem recently emerged from Early Access on Steam and will be released in full on PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. Temtem immerses players in the MMO world of Airborne Archipelago, where they take on the role of a Temtem tamer. Here they take control of their own adventure, from catching Temtem in the wild to fighting NPC-controlled Dojos to progress through the story. There’s an unlimited number of things to keep players entertained!
There are currently over 100 different Temtem types and 13 different Temtem types in the game, but Melee Temtem can really pack a punch and is really effective against Earth and Crystal types. Here are the best Melee-type Temtem and how to get them.
7 Saipat

Saipat is an angry duck-like Temtem, with a shell helmet and a red coral sai. Saipat is a good choice because it has strong melee abilities and water-type techniques. At level 38, Saipat unlocks his exclusive Nicho Sai Melee Technique, which deals a whopping 135 damage.
Saipat is a common early wild encounter found all over Deniz, the starting island of . Temtem with decent spawn speeds along the Prasine Coast and Gifted Bridges. Saipat does not evolve to or from another Temtem.
6 Mushook

With an intricate character design that is literally a mushroom with pointy legs, Mushook can really hold its own in a Temtem fight. He has a big blue mushroom cap and his hands are literally red boxing gloves. Mushook is a well-rounded Temtem with both Melee and Toxic typing that will do well in any team composition.
At higher levels, Mushook can unlock some Melee-only techniques, such as Uppercut and Wastewater, which can deal decent damage to the opposing team. Mushook can only be found on Arbury Island in the Sewers of Properton, with a small spawn chance of 10-20%. Mushook can also be obtained by increasing a Mushi 20 times after being captured until it evolves.
5 Gyalis

Gyalis is primarily a Crystal Temtem, with Melee typing. It has a design very similar to a praying mantis in nature, with a crown of crystals circling around its head. It is composed entirely of red crystals and almost resembles Scyther from Pokemon.
Since Gyalis possesses both Crystal and Melee typing, it can benefit significantly from its techniques, especially as it has the highest base SPD of all Melee Temtem. Gyalis does not evolve from or to another Temtem. It is extremely rare, with a low spawn rate of 10% in the Mictlan mines on Tucma.
4 Skunk

Skunch is a squirrel-like Temtem who uses his tail for balance and has muscular fists – perfect for a Melee-type Temtem! Skunch has unlocked powerful melee techniques, most notably Inner Spirit, at level 32, which deals a whopping 170 damage.
Skunch evolves from Skali after rising 17 times and is its last evolution. Fortunately for players, Skunch is a fairly common Temtem and can be found all over the world of Airborne Archipelago. The best examples are on Tucma, at both the Corrupted Badlands and the Xolot Reservoir. Skunch can also be found on Kisiwa in four different locations: Chini Grotto, Kilima Peaks, Mawingu Islets, and Barafu Glacier.
3 magmut

Magmut is a Melee and Fire type Temtem. It evolves from Mosu after rising 15 times and is the last evolution. It resembles a large woolly mammoth with curved horns and a flaming orange mane due to its fiery nature.
Magmut has a high base HP stat, making it a welcome addition to any team. The only way players can get their hands on a Magmut is to evolve a Mosu. Mosu can only be found on Arbury, at Mac Aed’s Crags or Greenglen Forest.
2 Osukai

Osukai is a huge insect-like bipedal Temtem, with four arms and a muscular build. It currently has the highest base ATK stat of any Temtem in the game. Osukai is a dual-type Earth and Melee Temtem.
Despite being found in the wild, players cannot catch Osukai unless they use a TemcardX. If players have TemCardX at their disposal, they can find Osukai on Kisiwa at Aisha’s Hearth. The only other way to obtain Osukai is to evolve an Osukan, which can be found on Kisiwa near Kilima Peaks with a 20-35% spawn chance.
1 seismic lunch

Around monkeys? Seismunch is a fire truck red Temtem who most closely resembles a monkey, as in his previous evolutions. Seismunch has good basic SPD and ATK stats, ideal for getting to know the opponents up close. Seismunch is a Melee and Earth hybrid Temtem, allowing it to unlock a wide variety of Earth and Melee techniques. It even has its own signature Earth Technique called Seismunch’s Wreck, which can team up with another Melee Temtem to deal 120 damage.
Seismunch cannot be found in the wild; the only way players can get one is by developing a Baboong. Seismunch is the final stage of a three-part evolutionary lineage, which begins at Smazee. Smazee is one of the three starter Temtem at the start of the game, which is the best method for getting a Smazee.
Temtem is available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
