The newest update for popular Pokemon clone Temtem features new Challenge modes, a new event, and much more, including a game mode based off the popular Nuzlocke challenge. Since the launch of Spanish developer Crema's Pokemon competitor in 2020, the game has seen plenty of buzz as an adversary to the iconic monster-catching franchise. The game brings Pokemon's traditional monster-catching formula into an MMORPG format, featuring a deep and complex battling system focused around double battles. Now, the newest update features even more ways for players to experience the game.

Throughout the storied history of the Pokemon franchise, the «Nuzlocke» has become one of the most popular forms of challenge modes among players.

Nuzlocke challenges have seen massive popularity among Pokemon fans and, now, Temtem has its own Nuzlocke mode.
