New Luma Odds Calculator!
Disclaimer: The odds below represent your chances of encountering at least 1 Luma Temtem.
At the time of writing, your odds of obtaining a Luma Temtem are 1 in 2,000. Even with multipliers, you still may not walk away without the Tem of your dreams. Though, finding a luma is now easier than ever with the release of the final update, version 1.8.
Here are some methods that can help you increase your odds!
Use a Temtem Radar
These radars allow you to encounter a specific evolutionary line. You will need to defeat or capture the Tems within the evolutionary line to keep the chain going.
Once you defeat 100 Tems, the Luma multiplier will be at 5x and then become 10x when you defeat 200. The radar will break at 300 and you won't be able to attempt chaining again until you get another radar. This is another improvement that came with 1.0 but does have the downside of you being able to break the chain and the radar at the first encounter.
Since game has left early access, there is now an endgame island that allows you to obtain these radars without defeating Dojo Masters. The easiest obtain Tem Radars is through the shop located on the Battle Frontier inspired island.
Hunt in Saipark
Saipark multipliers seldom go over 4x but they do provide you with a week's worth of encounters. Given the universally low encounter rate, Luma hunting is an extremely boring and tedious process. However, it is worth it if you want a Tem with an awesome color scheme.
Is the Luma/Umbra buff enough to save Temtem?
With the new Luma rates I've been able to locate a Gharunder and Seismunch after a single run with their respective radars. The rush of seeing the shiny version of your favorite creatures spawn in the wild is unmatched. However, once the adrenaline wears off and you're no longer in awe of the Tem's color scheme, what else is there to do?
If you don't play competitively, the answer to that question is...not much. The end game island is a far cry from the Battle Frontier in Pokemon Emerald or the battle tower in Pokemon Soulsiver. Don't get me wrong, shiny hunting is fun but can get boring very quickly.
New content is the only thing that attract and retain new players and anything less will only bring us old players back for a brief adventure. But, overall, the new update is enjoyable and will certainly be in my weekend gaming rotation for as long as Crema keeps their servers running.
