Frequently Asked Questions

How do I evolve my Digimon?
Digivolution requires meeting specific conditions like level, stats, happiness, and battle wins. Each species has unique requirements – check the evolution chart in the Digi-Lab for paths.

Can I get Agumon or Gabumon in this game?
Yes! Starter favorites like Agumon appear early, while Gabumon becomes available after progressing through the main story in certain areas.

What's the difference between scanning and recruiting Digimon?
Scanning (using the DS touch screen) fills a data gauge for wild Digimon. When the gauge hits 100%, you can recruit them to your team permanently.
