A More Nuanced Combat System
Piggybacking off the previous point, it’s undeniable that Temtem’s combat system definitely has much more potential than the current system that’s in place in Pokemon right now.
Aside from just changing up the PP/ Stamina features, it would be nice if Pokemon could take a leaf from Temtem’s book in terms of move and type synergies. Another big difference in Temtem is the implementation of default 2v2 battles, and this plays well into move synergies.
For instance, Houchic has a move called Energy Manipulation that exhausts an enemy for one turn. However, if Houchic is partnered with a Nature-type Tem during the battle, the move does more damage, and exhausts the enemy for an additional turn. It’s still early days for Temtem, but move synergy becomes extremely important as you get further into the game.
You don’t just have to worry about type matchups anymore; you need to think about your own team pairings as well.
