Digimon Story: Time Stranger Wiki: Digimon and Digivolution

Recovery Items restore HP and SP, revive knocked-out Digimon, and clear status effects, injuries, diseases, and stat debuffs. Single-target items work on one Digimon, while sprays reach every ally at once. Central Town and The In-Between Theater sell many of the everyday staples, Familiar Mart sells restorative foods, and some items also come from treasure, enemy drops, and quest rewards.

In-Training Digimon are the youngest forms in Digimon Story: Time Stranger, covering the In-Training I and In-Training II stages of the Field Guide. Most can be scanned in battle and converted once the scan reaches 100 percent, while a few, such as Tanemon and Yokomon, only come through digivolution. Their evolution routes branch widely, and de-digivolving lets players switch to a different path.

Rookie Digimon are the stage between the young In-Training forms and Champion in Digimon Story: Time Stranger. Players get them by converting scan data from battles, by digivolving from younger forms, or through Mode Change. Each one belongs to the Vaccine, Data, Virus, Free or Unknown attribute, and the first three follow a matchup loop in battle. Most lead on to Champion forms, though some have unusual requirements.

Champion Digimon are the middle stage of evolution in Digimon Story: Time Stranger, sitting between Rookie and Ultimate forms. They cover a wide range of types and belong to the Vaccine, Data, Virus, Free or Unknown attributes. Many can be scanned in the wild, while others are reached only by digivolving from an earlier form. Each Champion can branch into several later forms, so the one you choose often decides which Mega forms stay within reach.

Ultimate Digimon are the stage that sits above Champion in the Field Guide, and each one can be raised as a partner and taken into battle. Many can be found in the wild and converted, any of them can be reached by evolving another Digimon, and a few come from Jogress or a mode change. Most ask for Agent Rank 5 along with stats such as max HP, attack and spirit, and each one has an attribute of Vaccine, Data, Virus, Free or Unknown.

Mega Digimon are the stage above Ultimate in Digimon Story: Time Stranger, and reaching one takes much higher stats than the stages before it. Players add them to their Field Guide by scanning certain wild Digimon in battle or by raising a partner through branching Digivolution, with most Mega requiring Agent Rank 7. Some come from the Alternate Dimension, GAKU-RAN, Anti-ParadoX and pre-order bonus packs, while others are reached through mode change or Jogress.

Mega+ Digimon are the top-stage forms in Digimon Story: Time Stranger, covering fusion results, special forms such as Burst Mode, and late-stage variants of existing Digimon. Most are reached by digivolving from a Mega form once players hit Agent Rank 8 and meet its stat thresholds, while others need a Jogress fusion of two Digimon with set personalities or a Mode Change between Omnimon forms. Some can be found in the wild, but most have to be evolved or fused, and the Omnimon forms from add-on packs need those packs to reach.

Armor and Hybrid Digimon are special Digivolution stages that sit outside the usual Rookie to Mega line in Digimon Story: Time Stranger. Armor forms are reached with Digi-Egg capsules, while Hybrid forms use Human or Beast Spirits, stat requirements or mode changes. Most of them don't appear in the wild, and the Hybrid lines lead up to Susanomon.
