How to trade in Temtem

By
Crema

Temtem is one of the more ambitious Pokemon-like games to come out, especially since it comes from a much smaller team. While it does have the goal of bringing the concept of a monster collecting and battling game into more modern times with things like full online, MMO-style gameplay, it does keep many of the mechanics that we all loved about its inspiration. That includes basics like catching new Temtem, evolving them, battling, and also trading.

What You Need

  • A trading partner

Trading in Temtem has many uses, as well as some hidden restrictions and secrets tied to it. Just like in a true Pokemon game, trading is basically required to complete your collection without spending dozens of hours searching for that one critter you're missing. It's quite easy and intuitive once you know how it works, but it's a little obscure to access at first. Here's a full walkthrough on how to trade in Temtem.

How to trade

Trading is done via proximity in Temtem. You don't have to be directly next to someone to trade, but you need to at least be in the same zone. Once you're loaded into an area and are ready to find a trading partner, here's what to do.

Step 1: Open your Menu.

Step 2: Select the icon of Two people to expand your menu.

Step 3: Select Interact.

Step 4: A list of all nearby Tamers will appear. Also, if you have friends, you can directly select them.

Step 5: Select the Tamer you want to trade with, then choose Trade on the right side.

Step 6: Wait for the other Tamer to accept.

Step 7: Add any Temtem, items, or Pansuns onto your side of the trade offer, and wait for your partner to do the same.

Step 8: Once you and your partner agree to the trade, select Ready.

Other trading details

As simple as trading is, Temtem doesn't let you use it to exploit the game. Every Tamer has a hidden level cap that prevents them from using a Temtem of a higher level that you get through trades, so you can't have a friend give you a max level Temtem on your first day. You can still do the trade but will have to wait until you level up enough to use that Temtem.

There is one Temtem that can evolve by being traded. This is Azuroc, which evolves into the final form Zenoreth after being traded.

If you're familiar with the mechanics of Dungeons and Dragons then you will be happy to know that the ability to multi-class exists in Baldur's Gate 3.

This is primarily intended for experienced players who want to fully maximize their builds, while new players may want to shy away on their first playthrough, or at least use a guide to avoid ruining their build and needing to respec and start over. Multi-classing is easy to do, but not explained, so here's how you can expand your skillset between two classes in Baldur's Gate 3.

Since its release in 2020, the PS5 has amassed a large library of experiences, from shooters to sports games, RPGs, and platformers, along with a wide variety of open-world adventures. While "open world" isn't necessarily a genre in and of itself, it's a style that millions of players have fallen in love with over the years. These days, open-world games are quite common, meaning the competition to grab your attention is much stiffer. And with the likes of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 down the pipeline, there will be plenty more to play in the future.
