Level

Because Digimon live in the Datanetwork of humans, they can absorb more Data to become stronger at least. When enough Data have been collected, the Digimon digivolves. It then changes in shape, attacks and miscellaneous tees. Only the awareness stays the same. Overall there are 6 basic Digivolution Levels after a Digimon is hatched from an Digi Egg.

  1. Baby (JP: Younenki I, Baby 1)
  2. Training (JP: Younenki II, Baby 2, DE: Ausbildung)
  3. Rookie (JP: Seichouki, Child)
  4. Champion (JP: Seijukuki, Adult)
  5. Ultimate (JP: Kanzentai, Perfect, DE: Ultra)
  6. Mega (JP: Kyuukyokutai, Ultimate)

Apart from that, there are some special Level, which a Digimon can reach.

  • Armor: The Armor Level is round about between Rookie and Champion Level. So that an Digimon can reach this Level, it needs the power of the so called Digi Armor Eggs. Every Armor Egg is unique and there are 12 of them. 2 of them are golden Armor Eggs, these grant the Digimon a power that is located between Champion and Ultimate Level.
  • H-Hybrid: The H-Hybrid Level is about the same with the Champion Level. The H stands for human, what means this Digivolution leads to a human like being (human type Digimon). To gain this Level, you need one of the ten Legendary Warrior's Spirits. It is furthermore possible for humans and Digimon to digivolve with it.
  • B-Hybrid: The B-Hybrid Level is about the same, with the Ultimate Level. The B stands for beast, what means this Digivolution leads to a beast like being (beast type Digimon). To gain this Level you need one of the ten Legendary Warrior's Spirits. It is, furthermore possible for humans and Digimon to digivolve with it.
  • A-Hybrid: The A stands for Advance. To do this Digivolution, H-Spirit and B-Spirit of one Element are combined used.
  • Z-Hybrid: The Z-Hybrid Level is about the same, with the Mega Level. The Z stands for Zeta and the Level can be gained, when 5 of 10 Spiritcouples are used together.
  • U-Hybrid: The U-Hybrid Level is beyond the Mega Level. The U stands for Ultimate and the Level can be gained, when all 10 Spiritcouples are combine used. The only Digimon on this Level is Susanoomon.
  • Cross-DNA Mega: This Mega Level is equally powerful like the normal. The Level can only be reached, when a Digimon has a human partner. Because of it he can only then fuse with the partner, when both are made up of Data.
  • Burst Mode: The Burst Mode is the Level, that lies beyond the Mega Level. It is similar to a Mode Change. So, Digimon change they Shape only a bit, but they power gets boosted multiple times.
  • Super Ultimate: It is a Level, that is above the Mega Level and so far only a few Digimon have reached it. These Digimon are always labeled as Mega Digimon.




Types of Digivolutions



Digimon Adventure

  • Digivolution (Shinka): When Digimon collect enough Data, they digivolve. This can happen with a Digivice as well. While on the Champion Level, they maintain it as long, as there is Energy left.

Tamers Digivice is needed, in addition you need a Digivolution Card to slash and Calumon, the light of Digivolution, must be around.
Savers Digivice is needed, in addition the human partner, needs to transfer a part of his feelings and energy into the Digivice.

  • Dark Digivolution: This Digivolution can practically be executed on every Level. There the negative feelings of the human partner, like anger or the urge to reach the next Digivolution Level, effect the Digimon and it digivoles to a malicious Digimon of the next higher Level. It then has always the Type Virus. A further characteristic of so digivolved Digimon is that they cannot be controlled and they destroy everything until they run out of energy. Afterwards they digivolve to a very early Level like the Training Level.

Adventure As Tai finds his Crest, the urge in him increases to let Agumon digivolve to his Ultimate Level. During a fight Tai commands Agumon to digivolve, since it would have lost otherwise. By this urge Greymon digivolves to SkullGreymon.
Adventure 02 Agumon is kidnapped by the Digimon Emporer and is then used as test object. The Digimon Emporer wanted to know, how to control a Digimon of the Ultimate Level. In this progress Agumon digivolves multiple times to SkullGreymon.
Tamers Beelzemon appears suddenly in front of Zhuqiaomons Castle and attacks the Tamers. As Leomon trys to stop him from doing so, he gets killed and Takato, full of uncontrolled anger, lets WarGrowlmon digivolve into Megidramon.
Savers In the fight with Touma Masaru is full of anger about what Touma did before. This anger digivolves ShineGreymon to the wrong Burst Mode: ShineGreymon Ruin Mode.

  • Ultimate Digivolution / Matrix Evolution (Chō Shinka): At this Digivolution a Champion Digimon digivolves to the Ultimate Level. But also a Digimon of the Rookie Level can directly digivolve to the Ultimate Level.

Adventure & Adventure 02 Digivice and Crests are needed.
Tamers Digivice is needed, in addition you need a Blue Card to slash and Calumon, the light of Digivolution must be around.
Savers Digivice is needed, in addition the human partner needs to transfer a bigger part of his feelings and energy into the Digivice. In this case a Rookie Digimon directly digivolves to the Ultimate Level (with Champion Level as stopover).

  • Warp Digivolution(Wāpu Shinka): During this Digivolution a Digimon digivolces without interruption to his Mega Level.

Adventure Agumon and Gabumon are the first to do this Digivolution, as Tai and Matt get hit by Arrows shot by Angewomon and Angemon. Through this they got new energy which Agumon and Gabumon could also feel.
Tamers Though it is not said in the Series, Impmon does such an Digivolution, when parting from his Tamers to help in the fight against D-Reaper.
Savers The human partner needs to transfer a huge amount of his feelings and energy into the Digivice and so, a Rookie Digimon digivolves directly to his Mega Level (without interruption).
