All Temtem status effects explained

Much like the Pokemon series which inspires it, Temtem has several different status effects that can be applied by various moves. When a Temtem has a certain status effect, it’ll receive a buff or debuff, sometimes even taking damage each turn. The difference from Pokemon is that several status effects require multiple stacks to achieve, and plenty can be stopped if you know what you’re doing. Some status effects can be prevented by equipping certain gear, or cured by using a certain item. Here’s what each status effect does, both negative and positive.
Negative status effects
- Cold: No effect when applied once. Two Cold stacks cause the Frozen status. Replaced by the Burnt status. Cured by: Heater.
- Frozen: Temtem is unable to attack. Replaced by the Burnt status. Cured by: Heater.
- Burnt: Temtem loses 1/16 of its HP each turn. Attack is reduced by 30%. Cured by: Cooler. Prevented by: Pansunscreen.
- Asleep: Temtem cannot attack. Temtem will be woken by any damage. Cured by: Awakener. Prevented by: Energy Drink.
- Poisoned: Temtem loses ⅛ of its HP each turn. Cured by: Antidote.
