Temtem Kinu: location, full move set, and why it’s the ultimate support

Among the rarestTemtemin the game so far is Kinu. It’s a Nature/Mental type whose moves aren’t going to be damaging the opponent much. However, that isn’t its role. Instead, Kinu is a fantastic support with healing and status inflicting moves that you should be pairing with your strongest attackers. But first you’re going to have to find it.

Temtem Kinu guide

Kinu location
Kinu are found inside Giant Banyanin the Citerior Omninesia between level 24 and 28. It’ll have access to the moves Hypnosis, Intimidation, Revitalize, and Beta Burst. However, you’ll need to jump through a few hoops to even be able to encounter them. In order to find Kinu, there are a couple of conditions that have to be met:

Once you have ensured that you have saved Omninesia from the impending eruption of Anak Volcano, the Giant Banyan will be reopened.Insideyou’ll find the area covered in grass. The good news is that Kinu can be found on either floor. The bad news is that Kinu has a very low chance of appearing in the wild and a very low catch rate.Use Temcard+ for this one.There is currently no other place to find Kinu in the game, so make sure you nab one before venturing outside of Omninesia.
Kinu techniques
Kinu courses
Kinu learns multiple technical courses, though the ones it learns in the Early Access build are all support moves. Courses are multi-use items that you can only find one copy of each one. We have aTemtem Course locationsguide to help you locate them.
Kinu strengths/weaknesses

Should Kinu be in my party?
This largely depends on whether you are confident that you have one Temtem as your main attacker or not. Paired with aNesslathat’s throwing Electric and Water attacks at the enemy that drain its stamina, it can keep it healthy and ensure that it doesn’t faint. Bulkier Temtem likeOcearacan also greatly benefit from its constant healing effects, whileShuinebenefits greatly from the added support thanks to its lower defences and HP.
If you are not 100% confident that your team only needs the one attacker, then I’d recommend not using Kinuas it’s not a great attacking Temtem. The only attack that does decent damage that it has is Beta Burst, which is alright if you don’t already have aBarnshein your team.
There we have it. That’s everything you need to learn about Kinu and why you should definitely have one. While Kinu never evolves, you can check out ourTemtem evolutionsguide to see other Temtem that do evolve, as well as the rest of the currently available Temtem.
