Before reviewing the below charts, I'd recommend toggling the Legend on the lower left to get familiar with what the different requirements mean. The button on the lower right will show an FAQ that answers many common questions about raising Digimon. You can click on any Digimon image below to see more details about that Digimon as well. Use the version selector above to display only charts that are available on your device, and use the abbreviations to jump to a specific chart.

This device does not have an official name in English beyond Digimon, but is generally sold as a Digimon Original, DigiMon DigiVice or 20th Anniversary Digimon. If you aren't sure which Version you have, click here.

If you aren't sure about something, take a minute and read throught the questions below, you may find your answer there. If not, try asking in the #help_and_questions channel at the Digitama Hatchery Discord Server.

• What counts as a care mistake?

A care mistake occurs any time the Call Light goes out without the Digimon's need being take care of. Your Digimon will call when its Hunger or Strength Hearts empty, or when it is time for it to go to bed. You have 10 minutes to refill hearts or put a Digimon to bed before the Call Light goes out and you get a Care Mistake. If Hunger and Strength empty at the same time, each will count as its own care mistake, even if the Call Light goes out at the same time for both. If an empty meter is not filled after the call light goes out on its own, your Digimon will not call again unless it becomes tired. Poop, injury, and waking a sleeping or tired Digimon do not count as Care Mistakes.

• How do I get Effort Hearts?

Every four times you Train, you will get an Effort Heart. It does not matter if the Training is successful, it will count.

• How long will it take my Digimon to evolve?

Current Stage	Time to Next Stage
I	10 Minutes
II	6 Hours
III	24 Hours
IV	36 Hours
V	48 Hours

Unless you get 20 Care Mistakes or Injuries, your Digimon is guaranteed to evolve into Stage IV. If an Stage IV or V stage Digimon has fulfilled its specific requirements for reaching Stage V or VI respecitvely, it is guaranteed to reach that stage. The time your Digimon spends sleeping does not count towards its evolution timer. The times above are the official times from Bandai, but you may experience minor variances.

• What carries over after evolution?

Battle stats are the only thing that carry over after evolution. Even though battle stats carry over, they will not count towards evolution requirements (so even if you do 15 battles at Stage III, you will need to still do 15 at Stage IV). Care Mistakes, Effort Hearts and Injuries all reset upon evolution.

• A requirement doesn't mention a specific stat, how do I know how much of that stat I need?

The evolution requirements will only show stats are are actually required, hence them being called that. Not all stats are required for evolving, and if a specific stat isn't listed, this means it does not matter at all. For example, Tyranomon does not list how many Care Mistakes are needed to evolve into Mamemon (this is true for all Stage IV Digimon evolving to Stage V). This is because it does not matter, Tyranomon will evolve into Mamemon by simply fulfilling its battles, no matter how many Care Mistakes it has (though don't go crazy, 20 care mistakes will still kill it).

• What does it mean if the evolution requirements on this guide show multiple bullet points?

When you click on a Digimon in the guide, sometimes you will see bullet points listing multiple requirements. In these cases, you only need to choose one of the bullet points, as these are all independent requirements. For example, Betamon has two bullet points for evolving into Numemon. One reads "3+ Care Mistakes, 0-7 Training" while the other reads "3+ Care Mistakes, 16+ Training". You will meet the requirement by fulfilling either of those conditions upon reaching the evolution window (In this case it would also be impossible to fulfill both bullet points at once, since you cannot have 0-7 training AND more than 16 training at the same time).

• When a requirement says I need a specific number of battles, do I need to win those battles?

No, all battles will work regardless of whether you win or lose. Requirements will specifically mention victories if they are necessary.

• If I did 15 battles at Stage III, do I have to do 15 more at Stage IV to evolve into Stage V?

Yes, battles for evolution must be done at Stage IV. If you win your most recent 15 battles at Stage III, you still need to win your most recent 15 battles at Stage IV this to get a 100% chance of evolving to Stage V.

• What types of battles count for evolution?

All types. This means Single, Tag, Connection and Colosseum battles all factor in the same way. You can have 7 Tag victories and 8 Single victories and they will count together as 15 victories. You can even just do the first battle of the Colosseum over and over again to get the required 15 battles.

• Do Tag Trainings and Tag Battles count for both Digimon involved?

Yes, both Digimon that participate in a Tag Training or a Tag Battle will have it count towards their evolution requirements.

• Is there a chance my Digimon won't evolve?

As long as you don't kill it first, your Digimon will evolve into Stage IV. If you have won 12 of your 15 most recent battles, and you have not exceeded the care mistake limit for your target evolution, you also have a 100% chance of evolving into Stages V and VI (unless your Digimon does not have a Stage VI form).

• How do I get a version-exclusive egg?

Version exclusive eggs come from connecting to 5 unique devices. This either means that the devices you are connecting to have a unique tamer name, or that they have a different version number from each other. The other devices MUST be Ver.20th devices using the Ver.20th Battle or Copy options. If using a Digimon Pendulum Ver.20th, the connection can only be via Copymon, battles will not work.

• How do I get a traited egg?

Your Digimon needs to be awake for at least 48 hours following its most recent evolution. When it dies, an animation will play showing the traited egg, and then the grave will appear.

• What will cause my Digimon to die?

Getting injured 20 times in one form
Getting a care mistake 20 times in one form
Getting a care mistake 5 times upon or after your Digimon has been awake for 48 hours in its current evolutionary stage
Remaining injured for 6 hours
Having empty Hunger or Strength hearts for 12 hours

• I got the right number of victories, but I didn't unlock Zubamon or Hackmon, why not?

To be honest, I'm not certain. Bandai officially states that Zubamon takes 100 wins, and Hackmon takes 50, but in my testing it's always the opposite, which many people have also experienced. Furthermore, the number of wins will fluctuate, and I have no idea why. Sometimes it happens at 50, somtimes 55. If you aren't seeing the results you expect, just keep winning more battles, you will unlock them eventually.

• Are Japanese and English Digital Monster Ver.20th devices compatible?

Yes! They are 100% compatible for battles and Copymon. They also count as unique connections for each other, so long as either the name or version are unique for all 5 connections. Version A and B devices from either release can be used with Version C, D and E devices from either release to unlock DORUmon. Click hereto see which version each color is.

*Only your most recent 15 battles, regardless of battle mode, will count towards evolution.
