Temtem gear locations
Comes in handy
Gears in Temtem are items that you don't use yourself. Instead, you give them to your Temtem and they will benefit from their effects. They can augment their attacks, increase their resistance to a type, or even improve your chance to capture a wild Temtem. They're incredibly useful, but there is usually only one of each in the game.

How gears work in Temtem
Gears are items that Temtem can hold. They provide a specific benefit, such as increasing their resistance to a certain type, or gaining experience towards the next level without the need to enter the heat of battle. They're all found in specific locations, a lot of which are side-quest rewards. To equip them to your Temtem, you need to perform the following actions:
- Head into the pause menu and select "Squad"
- Pick a Temtem
- Press the button indicated to "Change Gear" (PC default key is Tab)
- Select either "Change" or "Unequip".
- If you selected to Change or the Temtem has no gears equipped, choose from the item list.
Most gear items are found in set locations and there's only one of them in the game, but there is an exception. DNA Strands can be bought from the breeding shopkeepers and you can purchase more than one of them. Gears are incredibly useful, particularly when dealing with the Temtem dojos. Now you know what gears are and how to equip them, here are all of the currently known Temtem gears, their locations, and item descriptions.
