Important Notice
Like with every Season change, your TMR will be soft-reset at the beginning of Season 3. Soft reset means it won't be reduced to 0 or to 1000, which was the starting point, but rather to a middle point between your TMR at the moment and 1000. The formula, for those interested in the specifics, is ((1000 + S2 TMR) / 2).
- Following Season change, too, rank redistribution will happen, and Competitive ranks will be redistributed in accordance with the population that played ranked matches during the previous Season. This means the cutoff numbers will change, i.e., if you needed to reach 2500 TMR to get to Legend before, you might need to reach 2700 TMR now, depending on how that rank's population and intended population are. This is the first time the system is going to tackle this on its own; we'll be monitoring it closely to ensure everything has gone well, and to check if further changes or intervention are needed.
- Since there was a delay in the launch of this patch and Season 3 will start one week later, we'll be adding an extra week at the end of it. This means Season 3 will last until June 19th.
New stuff
The new Challenge Modes are in.
- Experience Temtem like never before with three new challenges delimited by extreme rules:
- Nuzlocke Mode: You only get to catch the first 2 Temtem you see per route (1 Temtem each if you're playing Co-op!). Each and every Temtem knocked out during battle will be released automatically.
- Randomlocke Mode: Same rules as the Nuzlocke mode, but with randomized Tems, move sets and items.
- Speedrun Mode: You must complete the story in as little time as possible. A clock will be timing each island and the general progress, and you'll need to beat a mark set by Crema to consider the run a success.
- You will be able to start a Challenge mode once you've completed the campaign story, or by unlocking it anytime through a very well-known videogame code (use your left thumbstick!). You can only have one Challenge run at a time, but you can end one and start the next with no restrictions. You will always start from zero.
- The Challenge Mode runs have their own server, and a different save slot between the three of them. You'll interact with other people attempting a Challenge run, including being able to co-op. This effectively means you'll be able to have both your normal save and usual account, and a challenge save with a Challenge run at the same time.
- You cannot trade during a Challenge run. You won't be able to earn Tamer Pass experience during a Challenge run, due to technical limitations. You can PvP during a Challenge run, and your Tems won't die, so you can safely enjoy it still. Saipark will exist and be open, but only the resident Tems will ever appear.
- You can co-op in the Challenge Modes, but there are limitations:
- For all modes, you can only co-op with someone who is playing the same Challenge mode as you; there can't be a Tamer Level difference of more than 5 levels between both partners.
- For Nuzlocke and Randomlocke, you'll need to choose whether you're playing solo or co-op at the beginning of the run: if you choose Co-op, you'll only be able to tame one Tem per route instead of two; if you choose solo, you won't be able to co-op during the run. This setting will continue for the duration of your run.
- Challenge Modes have exclusive rewards for each of them, and you'll only be able to obtain them if you conquer the challenge.
- We've added some spicy new Kudos in relation to conquering the Challenge Modes, good luck!
- The doors of Nanto Labs are open!
- Exchange your Lumas for Luma Drops, a new currency. You'll be rewarded more or less Luma Drops depending on the species, whether you're the OT or not, and whether they're Soulbound or not.
- You'll be use your Luma Drops in a new shop where you'll be able to buy previously unavailable dyes, items like the TemCard X, and more goodies coming in the future.
- Of course, a new Season begins today!
- Clash of Tamers is a Season centered around the spirit and fierceness of competition, of working hard to be better, and other epic themes.
- We've added a new set of cosmetic items to the Daily Shop pool, and in the Weekly Premium Shop as well!
- We've added a new "Exit game" button to PS5, Switch and Xbox SX. It will take you back to the Lobby. This will make accessing the Challenge modes way easier.
- We've added all the 15 Backer characters for Backers with tiers Villager and Dojo Disciple. Some of them have been placed as non-mandatory NPC Tamers in some Dojos.
Improvements
- We've improved the loading time when exiting a battle on the Switch a bit more.
- In our ongoing effort to improve the game's performance on Switch, for this patch we put our focus on the loading times, which since 1.2.2 have been one of the main points of dissatisfaction.
- Due to the other improvements carried out in the previous patch, the game was taking longer when exiting a battle because it was loading and unloading assets that weren't needed. With the current change, repeating battles in the same environment should feel faster and the game will try to maintain the reused assets between battles in memory in order to optimize loading times.
- Like we mentioned in patch 1.2.2, we're going to continue working on improving memory performance on the platforms that require so.
- We've made a full rework to the untamed Tems spawn system:
- The idea behind this change is to make encounter frequency more consistent and constant.
- There should now be a bit more space between combat and combat, and you shouldn't get an encounter right after a battle.
- However, the longer you walk without an encounter, the higher the possibilities you find and encounter will get, so you won't end up walking too long without an encounter.
- In short, the range of variability has been reduced, so encounters should feel more constant and steady, and less dry or overwhelming.
- Items related to spawn rates have also been tweaked to adapt to this rework; in practice this means they'll work nicely, like before, in the optimal scenario, and way better than before in the worst case scenario.
- Likewise, we've also made some changes to the way the PvP timer works when a player gets disconnected:
- If you disconnect from a competitive match, it will now use the extra time instead of the current turn time. This applies to both the pick&ban phase and the actual battle.
- Also, turns will now last the same as they would for a connected player, instead of discounting time and rushing them.
- The duration of all Scent items has been doubled! Their price has also been reduced, check down below for the full list.
- The Exit game button in PC will now take you back to the lobby (aka title screen) instead of closing the game. This will make accessing the challenge modes way easier.
- Some previously alert NPCs will now be distracted and won't stop to battle you as you walk by, only when you talk to them.
- The last encounter from the Finding Aina quest will now have the "Dojo Master" music track.
Balance
Economy
- All ETCs will now have the same chance to appear as a reward in all applicable loot pools.
- The Anak Sanctum and Highbelow Sanctum Lairs have gotten some buffs:
- All runs of the Mythical Lairs will provide the rewards as if it were the first run of the week, Mythical egg included.
- They will now reward 30% more Feathers upon completion.
- The price of entry for these Lairs has been reduced from
2500⇒ 2000 Pansuns. The price of Lair Tickets has been reduced too. - Lair rewards now have a 118% increased chance of having an ETC, and a 37% reduced chance of having a Trait Hack.
- Similarly, Tamer's Paradise activities have gotten some review:
- The GritArena, DraftArena and TemSafari activities will now reward 30% more Feathers upon completion.
- The Evershifting Tower activity will now reward 20% more Feathers upon completion.
- The price of the Evershifting Tower, DraftArena, GritArena and DigiLair activities (the tries beyond the initial free Token) has been reduced by 1000 Pansuns.
- The price of the TemSafari activity (the tries beyond the initial free Token) has been reduced by 2000 Pansuns, so from from
7000⇒ 5000 Pansuns.
- PvP activity required a little tweaking:
- All Weekly and Daily PvP Challenges will now reward 30% more Pansuns and Feathers. Tamer Pass experience won't be affected.
- PvP battles' will now reward 30% less Pansuns and Feathers. Tamer Pass experience won't be affected.
- PvP battles were way above any other activity in the game, and although this is something we want to perpetuate and agree with, the distance to other activities shouldn't be that abysmal. Improving the Weeklies will make people more interested into and drawn to PvP, even if just to complete the Challenges, and will appeal to a different, more casual sector of the PvP players.
- All the cosmetic items available in Boutiques across the Archipelago have experienced a 25% price reduction. They will now be cheaper.
- Balms' price has been reduced from
80⇒ 64. - Balm+'s price has been reduced from
325⇒ 280. - Revives' price has been reduced from
500⇒ 400. - Smoke Bombs' price has been reduced from
120⇒ 70. - Scents' price has been reduced from
60⇒ 20. - Super Scents' price has been reduced from
320⇒ 150. - Max Scents' price has been reduced from
1200⇒ 500. - TemCard+'s price has been reduced from
80⇒ 65. - TemCard++'s price has been reduced from
325⇒ 275.
PvE
- We've adjusted some endgame Elite Kudos so that they're a tad bit easier and more affordable to achieve, without them losing their Elite essence.
- The Weekly Challenge that was "Defeat 6 Tamers in the GritArena" has been changed to 5 Tamers.
- Naolin no longer has a Temtem with the Hypnotic Peg-Top Gear in their Archtamer pool.
- Yareni's Volarend now has all 500 TVs on its spread.
- Percival's Aohi now has all 500 TVs on its spread.
Temtem
Season 3 is here! The changelog for balance this patch could be one of the biggest we have ever had, so there's a lot of stuff to unpack. There are many things we wanted to tackle, and some we just wanted to start work on, so there'll be a bit of everything and some changes are going to be more meaningful than others.
We have reviewed almost every Temtem in game and made changes to its stats, Techs or Traits. Our main objective has been to dethrone the top tier Temtem, but not bury them, all while pushing new faces into the group of frequently-seen Temtem. You will discover 3 new Traits and a brand new Tech that were created to support this intention.
On top of that, we analyzed some mechanics that felt unfair to a majority of players and we have started taking action to test and measure the impact they really have in the game. The principal mechanics we have adjusted are Freeze and Healing. Both are going to be a little less free to abuse: Freeze has been capped at 2 turns, and healing has been reduced in a handful of techniques. We are going to keep an eye on them and, if needed, we'll make adjustments on following seasons.
To close this intro, we're already working on season 4! Our objective for Season 4 is to revisit Stall and its lack of interaction.
- #003 – Zaobian
- SPD has been increased
51⇒ 63.
- SPD has been increased
- #006 – Molgu
- HP has been increased
79⇒ 82. - STA has been increased
47⇒ 55. - SPDEF has been increased
58⇒ 66. - Molgu has a lot of potential, but its typing was not helping its bulky design much. We hope that Molgu can stay in battle a bit more with the proposed changes and that it can use its tools more freely thanks to its new STA values and the changes to Splitter.
- HP has been increased
- #007 – Platypet
- Water Blade has been removed from its movepool.
- #007 – Platimous
- SPD has been increased
78⇒ 82. - After testing the changes done to Water Blade and the SPD of Platimous during the previous patch cycle, we want to bring back its lost SPD but we'll still keep Water Blade from it as a fee.
- SPD has been increased
-
#011 – Loali
- STA has been reduced
81⇒ 74. - SPD has been reduced
80⇒ 77. - SPDEF has been reduced
90⇒ 81. - Toxic Farewell has been removed from its traits.
- Backhanded has been added to its traits: When attacking with a Status Technique, gets Invigorated for 2 turns.
- Loali is one of those Temtem that have been performing really well, a bit too well. We had to adjust it a tad, but we'll give it something in return: a new trait that could offer a different playstyle from what we're used to with it.
- STA has been reduced
-
#012 – Tateru
- Now learns Tenderness at level 3.
- Now learns Scratch at level 1.
- Even though there's no substantial change to Tateru, the main Gears it takes advantage of have been hit this patch, so we think these changes should be enough to bring this Temtem closer to balance.
-
#015 – Magmut
- STA has been increased
53⇒ 58.
- STA has been increased
-
#016 – Paharo
- Tornado has been added to its move pool as an Egg Technique.
-
#017 – Paharac
- Hyperkinetic Strike has been removed from its move pool.
- Grandpah has been a staple in Turbo teams for this past season. It will continue to do so, but more as a support rather than a multitasking Temtem with high impact. We have reworked Bully to help it and Skunch take advantages of new situations.
-
#020 – Amphatyr
- STA has been increased
42⇒ 57. - Amphatyr was one of those Temtem that looked like one thing and ended up being a completely different role. We wanted to give Amphatyr more time to support its allies and at the same time, we have improved Infectious so it can also support their teammates by negating opportunities to their rivals.
- STA has been increased
-
#028 – Skunch
- STA has been increased
62⇒ 67.
- STA has been increased
-
#030 – Mouflank
- STA has been increased
65⇒ 73.
- STA has been increased
-
#033 – Tental
- Madness Buff has been removed from its move pool.
- These changes affect Nagaise, so we are going to talk about them as if they were for it. Madness Buff offers way too many tools to Nagaise, specially its Deceit Aura build. This change along with some adjustments to its signature tech and trait should make Nagaise feel a bit more decent than before but not as annoying as it was when it was released.
-
#036 – Nidrasil
- SPD has been increased
61⇒ 66. - ATK has been reduced
88⇒ 84. - DEF has been reduced
80⇒ 77. - Toxic Farewell has been removed from its traits.
- Tri-Phytologist has been added to its traits: After attacking with a Physical Technique, the target gets Exhausted for 1 turn if it's a rival or Invigorated for 2 turns if it's an ally or itself.
- Nidrasil has become one of the Temtem we could consider flexible and almost perfect for our idea of a balanced Temtem. The introduction of this new trait and some changes to its stats aims to round up an already interesting Temtem.
- SPD has been increased
-
#038 – Capyre
- HP has been increased
55⇒ 65. - STA has been increased
55⇒ 61. - ATK has been increased
71⇒ 76. - SPDEF has been increased
47⇒ 49. - Capyre has a 0.04% winrate (wink wink ;) ) so it was clear it needed some love. Its main problem was that it was lacking in almost every stat, so these changes should give Capyre a much better chance to perform in battle.
- HP has been increased
-
#041 – Zenoreth
- STA has been increased
45⇒ 46. - Knockback has been added to its movepool.
- Zenoreth now has more tools to go boom! We have changed Wrecked Farewell too, so going boom! should feel more rewarding.
- STA has been increased
-
#049 – Saku
- ATK has been increased
66⇒ 71.
DEF has been increased62⇒ 68.
- ATK has been increased
-
#050 – Valash
- DEF has been increased
56⇒ 62. - SPDEF has been increased
56⇒ 62. - Determined has been removed from its traits.
- Jack of all Trades has been added to its traits: When attacking with a Physical Technique, gets two stages of increased SPATK, and when attacking with a Special Technique, gets two stages of increased ATK.
- Valash is a raid boss, that's a fact. Determined was not helping Valash in any way, so we decided to give it a brand new trait so the players can unlock its raid boss potential from different angles.
- DEF has been increased
-
#051 – Towly
- Hook Kick has been removed from its movepool.
Oshi-Dashi has been added to its movepool as an Egg Technique.
- Hook Kick has been removed from its movepool.
-
#052 – Owlhe
- SPD has been increased
78⇒ 80. - Boomerang has been removed from its movepool.
- Feather Gatling has been added to its movepool.
- Owlhe was one of those Temtem that didn't have many tools to excel in their role. We've adjusted some things here and there to make it feel as powerful as its mental counterpart.
- SPD has been increased
-
#053 – Barnshe
- HP has been increased
50⇒ 57.
- HP has been increased
-
#054 – Gyalis
- HP has been reduced
79⇒ 74. - ATK has been increased
77⇒ 81. - Helicopter Kick has been removed from its movepool.
- Gyalis was everywhere, and it will remain as one of the top Temtem, but Helicopter Kick was doing way too much work for this Temtem.
- HP has been reduced
-
#059 – Raican
- HP has been increased
77⇒ 79. - STA has been increased
49⇒ 55. - SPDEF has been increased
50⇒ 54. - A lot of Fire Tems were seen this past season but Raican was not very frequent in those comps. Giving it more bulk and improving its signature technique should position this Temtem on a much healthier spot, and we could start seeing it some more.
- HP has been increased
-
#063 – Scaravolt
- ATK has been increased
57⇒ 60. - Embers has been added to its move pool.
- Physical Scaravolt is a reality, embrace the truth.
- ATK has been increased
-
#065 – Hedgine
- STA has been increased
43⇒ 48.
- STA has been increased
-
#068 – Osukai
- STA has been increased
48⇒ 54.
ATK has been reduced95⇒ 92.
SPDEF has been increased46⇒ 51.
- STA has been increased
-
#069 – Saipat
- STA has been increased
42⇒ 46. - DEF has been increased
55⇒ 60. - SPDEF has been increased
50⇒ 67. - Saipat is seeing some play as a bulky offense Temtem, so we would like to help this playstyle for it. We are going to keep an eye on this Tem to see how it performs after the changes, but we might have some plans in mind for its future.
- STA has been increased
-
#074 – Tortenite
- STA has been increased
52⇒ 55.
- STA has been increased
-
#077 – Shaolant
- SPATK has been increased
64⇒ 70.
- SPATK has been increased
-
#080 – Pocus
- DEF has been increased
40⇒ 45. - SPDEF has been increased
51⇒ 55. - Pocus should be able to weather the storm better now thanks to its brand new values on stats and a small buff to Rejuvenate, and we are opening a brand new horizon for it with the rework of Dreaded Alarm.
- DEF has been increased
-
#083 – Golzy
- HP has been reduced
76⇒ 71. - ATK has been reduced
84⇒ 80. - Another top 3 usual suspect. These changes, along with some adjustments on its Techs and traits, should make Golzy a more manageable Temtem to face.
- HP has been reduced
-
#085 – Mushook
- HP has been increased
67⇒ 71. - ATK has been increased
76⇒ 80. - SPDEF has been increased
43⇒ 48. - With the increasing population of Wind Temtem in the meta, Mushook was relegated to the background. Some tweaks on its stats should help the Tem deal with the birds.
- HP has been increased
-
#086 – Magmis
- Tenderness is now learned at level 5.
- Fire Flame is now learned at level 1.
-
#087 – Mastione
- HP has been increased
76⇒ 80. - STA has been increased
62⇒ 68.
- HP has been increased
-
#096 – Gorong
- HP has been reduced
86⇒ 81. - DEF has been reduced
100⇒ 96. - Gorong has been one of the key hypercarries on Stall teams. We would like for it to continue being there for their chonky partner, but in a fairer way to their opponents.
- HP has been reduced
-
#098 – Sanbi
- HP has been increased
71⇒ 75. - SPDEF has been increased
61⇒ 64. - Transient Echo has been added to its move pool.
- High Priority Techs for Mentals have been a very mentioned topic this past season. We are introducing Transient Echo to cover this for Sanbi, and making some tweaks to its stats to help its bulky offense role.
- HP has been increased
-
#100 – Kuri
- Clay Ball has been added to its move pool.
-
#101 – Kauren
- STA has been increased
45⇒ 54. - SPDEF has been increased
51⇒ 57. - Roar has been added to its move pool.
- STA has been increased
-
#104 – Cerneaf
- STA has been increased
52⇒ 56. - SPDEF has been increased
46⇒ 50.
- STA has been increased
-
#110 – Volarend
- SPDEF has been reduced
96⇒ 92. - Cold Breeze has been removed from its move pool.
- Volarend was a frustrating Temtem to play against for many reasons: its combos with Freeze, the synergy it had with Slingshot and its Aerobic trait, its high SPDEF and the high impact Toxic Plume was having on games. All of these threats have been alleviated or removed to get a more fair fight against this Temtem.
- SPDEF has been reduced
-
#112 – Grumper
- STA has been increased
43⇒ 50.
- STA has been increased
-
#124 – Valiar
- HP has been increased
56⇒ 60. - SPD has been increased
69⇒ 72. - ATK has been reduced
79⇒ 75. - Sanbi vs Valiar has been a topic for quite sometime within the community. With the revision done to both Temtem Sanbi should do the job of a bulky offense Temtem, while Valiar should feel more like a speedy support. This way the identity of them doesn't overlap anymore and they can coexist in the meta.
- HP has been increased
-
#126 – Loatle
- SPD has been increased
61⇒ 65. - ATK has been reduced
79⇒ 75. - SPDEF has been increased
54⇒ 57. - Loatle is getting a second chance. It will continue doing good in Doom teams, even better, you could say, but we have added a new layer to its supportive kit with some changes to Voodoo. We hope to see this fella more often this new season.
- SPD has been increased
-
#131 – Tukai
- Aqua Bullet Hell has been added to its move pool.
-
#132 – Tulcan
- HP has been reduced
62⇒ 59. - SPATK has been reduced
79⇒ 75. - Tulcan will remain as one of the top dogs of the game due to the utility it brings to the table, but we at least had to reduce a bit the offensive power it had, so the combination of both utility and damage doesn't feel too much to handle.
- HP has been reduced
-
#133 – Tuvine
- STA has been increased
47⇒ 49. - SPDEF has been increased
47⇒ 50.
- STA has been increased
-
#135 – Tuwire
- Reset has been added to its move pool.
-
#141 – Pigepic
- ATK has been increased
60⇒ 65. - DEF has been reduced
72⇒ 69. - SPDEF has been reduced
72⇒ 69. - Chain Heal has been removed from its move pool.
- Pigepic is one of those Temtem we label as uninteractive. Having 4 non-damaging moves on its move pool should not be a thing. It has very powerful tools to keep helping as a support Temtem, but now the excessive healing potential should be gone. All of this along with a revamp of Friendship should bring Pigepic closer to a more interactive gameplay.
- ATK has been increased
-
#144 – Vulffy
- HP has been increased
50⇒ 56. - STA has been increased
70⇒ 74. - We are hoping to see Vulffy more in the meta this next season and, fingers crossed, we hope we see Burglar builds more frequently after the changes implemented.
- HP has been increased
-
#153 – Maoala
- Transient Echo has been added to its move pool.
-
#154 – Venx
- ATK has been reduced
81⇒ 78. - DEF has been reduced
81⇒ 78. - SPATK has been reduced
81⇒ 78. - SPDEF has been reduced
81⇒ 78. - The pre-evo who lived. Venx feels more powerful and useful than its evolutions, to a point that it's even more powerful than so many Temtem in the roster. We have done some small tweaks to its stats to position it on a healthier spot in the new meta.
- ATK has been reduced
-
#156 – Vental
- HP has been increased
55⇒ 60. - Psy Wave has been added to its move pool.
- HP has been increased
-
#157 – Chimurian
- STA has been increased
54⇒ 61. - ATK has been increased
62⇒ 65. - Although Chimurian was perceived as very strong after releasing it, the different nerfs it has received have left the Tem feeling underpowered at times. We are giving it some potential back and we're providing it with new tools with the buffs to Glass Blade.
- STA has been increased
-
#163 – Tyranak
- HP has been reduced
78⇒ 76. - DEF has been reduced
74⇒ 71. - SPDEF has been reduced
76⇒ 72. - Tyranak was too much to handle this past season. It was too polarizing, and that should change. Cutting down its bulk as well as reducing the oppression its trait offers will leave this Mythical Temtem on a strong but more manageable spot.
- HP has been reduced
Techniques
- DNA Extraction
- Priority has been increased
Very High⇒ Ultra. - This change, combined with the ones done to Striking Transmog could balance a tad the usage difference between Striking and Landing Transmog we are seeing in the meta right now.
- Priority has been increased
- Turbo Attack
- Damage has been increased
115⇒ 130. - STA Cost has been reduced
32⇒ 30. - Physical Digital Temtem were missing some damage on many Techniques. We have tackled this for a few Techs, starting with Turbo Attack.

14⇒ 10.
- STA Cost has been reduced
- Cyberclaw
- Damage has been increased
80⇒ 90.

35⇒ 40. - STA Cost has been increased
9⇒ 12. - Priority has been increased
Normal⇒ High. - New effect: It applies 1 turn of Isolated.

18⇒ 25. - Target changed from

- Damage has been increased
- Tenderness
- Hold turns increased
0⇒ 1. - STA Cost has been increased
8⇒ 13. - ATK Stage reduction has been increased
1⇒ 2. - Tenderness was a mere reflection of what it used to be. These modifications should bring some memories of the past back, but this time it will be a bit more contained.
- Hold turns increased
- Heavy Blow
- STA Cost has been reduced
12⇒ 9.
- STA Cost has been reduced
- Wind Blade
- Damage has been increased
40⇒ 67.

28⇒ 19.
- STA Cost has been reduced
- Gust (Synergy)
- STA Cost has been reduced
28⇒ 19. - Trapped turns have been increased from
1⇒ 2. - Priority has been reduced
Ultra⇒ Very High. - This Synergy was way too impactful and it generated a lot of frustration among players. It should still feel effective, but less frustrating.
- STA Cost has been reduced
- Lullaby
- STA Cost has been reduced
32⇒ 18.
- STA Cost has been reduced
- Inner Spirit
- Damage has been reduced
170⇒ 165. - STA Cost has been increased
