Patamon is a Digimon creature from the Japanese Digimon media franchise.
"Patamon" is the name that all members of this particular Digimon species share. There are several different Patamon that appear in various Digimon anime and manga series.
The most well-known appearance of Patamon is in the Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02 anime as the partner of T.K. Takaishi.
The Patamon of Digimon Adventure/02 also appears in all of the Digimon Adventure/02 related movies.
A different Patamon appears in Digimon Frontier as what has hatched from Seraphimon's digi-egg which was taken care of by Bokomon after Seraphimon was defeated by Mercurymon.
Appearance
Patamon is a small orange cute flying guinea pig like creature with light blue eyes and bat-like wings, which could possibly be his ears. This mammal digimon has also been considered to look like a mouse or pig with wings.
Description
Patamon is a main character in Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02, as well as the movies Digimon Adventure (The movie), Our War Game!, The Golden Digimentals and Diaboromon Strikes Back.
Patamon is the playful Digimon partner of T.K.. In Digimon Adventure, Patamon was the last of the Digi-Destined Digimon to achieve his Champion form, and the last again to achieve his Ultimate form. However, both his Champion and Ultimate forms are immensely powerful for their respective level, and are responsible for defeating Devimon and the final Dark Master , Piedmon respectively.
T.K. returns as a main character in the second Digimon Adventure 02 season, as does Patamon. Because of the Digimon Emperor's control spires, Patamon was no longer able to Digivolve into his Champion form, and instead fought in his Armor form - Pegasusmon.
In the series, Patamon has a childish, sensitive personality.
Attacks
- Boom Bubble (Air Shot): Patamon's body inflates as he gulps in air - which he then shoots forward from his mouth.
- Slamming Attack (Body Slam): Patamon charges at his enemy attempting to knock them out (This attack is very rarely used)
Other Forms
The name "Patamon" refers to only the Rookie form of this Digimon. Throughout the series, Patamon gains the ability to Digivolve into a number of more powerful forms (each with a different name). However, the Rookie form remains as the most common and preferred form, due to the amount of energy required to stay in a higher form.
Poyomon
Poyomon is Patamon's Fresh form. Poyomon's name comes from the Japanese word "poyon", an adjective which means "soft and mushy". In Digimon Adventure-Adventure 02's American version, he is voiced by Peggy O'Neal.
After Angemon sacrificed himself to defeat Devimon, Patamon's data was reconfigured into a Digi-Egg. As the DigiDestined departed for the Continent of Server, the Digi-Egg hatched into Patamon's Fresh form Poyomon.
Attacks
- Bubble Blow (Acid Bubbles): An attack that fires bubbles from the mouth.
|
Tokomon
Tokomon is the In-Training form of Patamon. The name "Tokomon" comes from "tokoton", a Japanese word meaning "the very last".
T.K. first meets Tokomon immediately upon his arrival into the Digital World, and the two formed a strong bond very quickly. Tokomon later digivolves into Patamon when the DigiDestined children were in danger from Kuwagamon. When Patamon is reconfigured after the battle with Devimon, he hatches as Poyomon and digivolves to this form again in the Koromon Village.
While he normally appears to be harmless and cute, it is notable that when in danger Tokomon will open his mouth, which reveals layers of huge shark-like fangs, first displayed when attacking Kuwagamon during the first episode of Digimon Adventures.
Attacks
- Bubble Blow (Acid Bubbles): An attack that involves firing bubbles from the mouth.

Angemon
.
Angemon is the Champion form of Patamon. Angemon is a six-winged angel dressed in white and blue clothing. Like many other humanoid-like Digimon, such as Angewomon and Kazemon, his eyes are covered by his helmet and are never seen, giving him the appearance of a blind prophet. In Digimon Adventure-Adventure 02, he is voiced by Dave Mallow (US) and Miwa Matsumoto (Japan).
Angemon appears for the first time during the final fight against Devimon. Devimon had already defeated the other six DigiDestined and their partner Digimon, and when he attempted to grab T.K., Patamon jumped in front of T.K. and finally Digivolved into his Champion form Angemon. In a final desperate attempt to defeat Devimon, Angemon sacrificed himself. Angemon was reborn as a Digi-Egg, eventually hatching to become Patamon again.
The second appearance of Angemon occurred in the Real World during the battle between Myotismon and WereGarurumon, in which he forces the former to retreat in a seeming moment of victory when he joins the battle.
Angemon is a very powerful Champion Digimon - his primary attack, the Hand of Fate is very effective against inherently evil Digimon of the Champion and Ultimate levels such as Devimon (although when Devimon was empowered with several black gears, a suicidal digivice-augmented hand of fate was required) and Myotismon. Even Myotismon (an Ultimate level Digimon) had been unable to dissipate it, (he had been able to dissipate Ultimate-level attacks from the other Digidestined's Digimon) and Phantomon (another Ultimate Digimon) was completely destroyed by it. Furthermore, in the Digimon Adventure 02 movie, Diaboromon Strikes Back, he and Angewomon were successful in holding back Diaboromon, a Mega level. Angemon is unable to defeat Mega level digimon - namely the Dark Masters, VenomMyotismon and BlackWarGreymon - nor Ultimate level digimon who are not inherently evil or are "fake" digimon made from control spires by Arukenimon (curiously, despite the darkness inherent in the spires themselves).
Attacks
- Hand of Fate (Heaven's Knuckle): Angemon fires a beam of sacred energy from his fist.
- Angel's Rod (Hot Rod): A strike using the staff he carries.
- Angel Staff (Holy Staff): Spins his staff to block incoming attacks.
- Angel's Requiem (God Typhoon): Spins his staff to create a whirlwind, repelling nearby enemies.
Note:
- Angemon is the narrator for the remainder of Digimon Adventure, starting from the second-half of The Story of the Eighth Child (The Myotismon Saga). Perhaps ironically, it is also worth noting Tom Wyner (the voice actor of Devimon) was the narrator of Digimon Adventure 02.

Pegasusmon
Pegasusmon, the "Flying/Galloping Hope" (or "the hope that gallops across the skies" in Japan), is the form Patamon becomes when he Armor Digivolves using the Digi-Egg of Hope. In Japanese,he's called Pegasmon. In Digimon Adventure-Adventure 02, he is voiced by Dave Mallow(US) and Miwa Matsumoto (Japan).
Patamon first became Pegasusmon when the Digi-Egg of Hope was found. Patamon and his partner T.K., along with Kari and Gatomon had ended up in a cave after escaping from attacking Tyrannomon. T.K. managed to lift the Digi-Egg and evoked its power, allowing Patamon to Armor Digivolve to Pegasusmon.
After Ken renounced his evil persona, Pegasusmon was no longer needed as Patamon could now Digivolve naturally. Pegasusmon was used as a means of transportation around the Digital World, and appeared one last time during the battle with MaloMyotismon.
Its name comes from Pegasus, the flying horse.
Attacks
- Star Shower (Shooting Star): Pegasusmon shoots a cluster of stars from his wings.
- Equus Beam (Silver Blaze): Shoots a green beam from his forehead.
- Mane Wind (Needle Rain): Pegasusmon sends out a shower of needles from his mane.
- Golden Noose (Sanctuary Bind): Pegasusmon partners with Nefertimon to bind enemies with a rope of golden light.One end of the light comes from Pegasusmon's "Boots" and the other end comes from The "Boots" Nefertimon wears.

Shakkoumon
Shakkoumon is an Ultimate Level Mutant digimon who is the DNA Digivolved form of Angemon and Ankylomon, combining the features and armor attributes of a Dino-type Digimon with the powers of an Angel type. It's form and name are based around the Shak-kidog“. In Digimon Adventure-Adventure 02, he is voiced by Dave Mallow and Robert Axelrod (US), and Miwa Matsumoto and Megumi Urawa (Japan).
Shakkoumon was first formed when the DigiDestined were about to battle BlackWarGreymon in an effort to protect the very last Destiny Stone in episode 36. Both Cody Hida and T.K. knew they could not let the artificial Digimon destroy everyone, despite BlackWarGreymon's reasons. Their Digimon partners, Angemon and Ankylomon were able to DNA digivolve at that point, forming Shakkoumon, who teamed up with Paildramon and Silphymon to fight BlackWarGreymon.
Attacks
- Justice Beam/Harmonious Spirit (-- Aramitama [1]): Shakkoumon shoots redish-orange beams out of his eyes.
- Kachina Bombs/Ruling Spirit/Clay Bombs (-- Nigimitama [2]): A hole around his waist opens up to launch exploding clay disks at enemies.
- Heaven's Ray: Shakkoumon absorbs data energy from nearby computers or other technology and uses it to fire a beam from his chest.

MagnaAngemon
MagnaAngemon (- HolyAngemon)
MagnaAngemon (Japanese: HolyAngemon) is Patamon's natural Ultimate form. He carries the sword Excalibur, which allows him to open the Gate of Destiny. Although he is classified as an Ultimate, the extent of his power is equivalent to that of a Mega level digimon. He is able to fight effectively with inherently evil digimon such as Piedmon, and conceivably VenomMyotismon. In Digimon Adventure-Adventure 02, he is voiced by Dave Mallow (US) and Miwa Matsumoto (Japan).
MagnaAngemon first appears in the episode 'Piedmon's Last Jest' towards the end of Digimon Adventure. Piedmon, the last of the Dark Masters, had been able to turn almost all the DigiDestined children and their Digimon into key chains (besides T.K & Kari; Mimi was away at the time, so she was safe also). Patamon digivolved to Angemon and joined the fight, but was easily defeated by Piedmon. After seeing T.K.'s willingness to never give up his crest of Hope finally began to glow, and Angemon finally digivolved into MagnaAngemon. Using the Magna Antidote ability, MagnaAngemon was able to restore all the DigiDestined and their Digimon. MagnaAngemon then helped WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon defeat Piedmon by using the powerful "Gate of Destiny" attack.
MagnaAngemon makes brief appearances in Digimon Adventure 02. Angemon uses the power of one of the Destiny Stone to digivolve into MagnaAngemon and fight the nearly invincible BlackWarGreymon. Despite being only an Ultimate level Digimon, curiously MagnaAngemon was able to fight evenly with the Mega level BlackWarGreymon and almost suck him into the Gate of Destiny (despite the fact Angemon was unable to spar with Ultimates conceived from Control Spires and his attack took no effect against the one Paildramon slew). MagnaAngemon's capacity for an Ultimate Digimon is similar to how his Champion form, Angemon, is strong enough to match or even overwhelm most Ultimates in Digimon Adventure. MagnaAngemon also appears during the World Tours Arc where he teams up with Metalgreymon and Kiwimon to fight Mamemon, BigMamemon, Metalmamemon and Giromon where Tai and TK sent them back to the Digital world. MagnaAngemon also appears to fight Skullsatamon, but relents his power to Imperialdramon, the latter destroying SkullSatamon upon changing into Fighter Mode. As the extra power given by Azulongmon was the only thing keeping him in his Ultimate form, the last time he appears is when TK helps Patamon digivolve into his three forms: Angemon, Pegasusmon and MagnaAngemon, where they all attack Malomyotismon, but then vanish when they cross into the Digital World. He is never seen in the movies in either series save when Angemon warp digivolves and he is briefly shown before Seraphimon is complete.
Attacks
- Gate of Destiny (Heaven's Gate): MagnaAngemon creates a large portal that sucks in the data from enemy Digimon. MagnaAngemon can also unleash an aurora beam when standing behind it.
- Magna Antidote (Holy Disinfection): An all-purpose healing ability used to restore the Digidestined and their Digimon from their Keychained forms.
- Holy Sword/Shield (Excalibur): A strike, or block from MagnaAngemon's sword, powerful enough to repel a Mega-Level Digimon.
- Aurora Beam (Magna Beam): A beam of light unleashed from behind MagnaAngemon's Gate of Destiny.
Seraphimon
Seraphimon is Patamon's Mega form. The name Seraphimon comes from the word Seraph (plural Seraphim) which is a rank of angel. In Digimon Adventure-Adventure 02, he is voiced by Jamieson Price (US) and Nobuyuki Hiyama (Japan).
Seraphimon only appears in the Digimon Adventure 02 movie The Golden Digimentals. In this movie, Angemon fights against the evil Digimon Cherubimon. During the battle, Angemon and Angewomon Digivolve into their Mega forms in order to release the Golden Digieggs for Veemon and Terriermon to armor digivolve into Magnamon and Rapidmon, after which they defeat Cherubimon as Seraphimon de-digivolves into Patamon with Gatomon. As such, this form is never shown in the main anime series, not even when Patamon digivolves into all of his forms to combat MaloMyotismon.
However, Seraphimon does make an appearance on digimon frontier as one of the divines whom mecurymon kills to retrieve his data.
Attacks
- Strike of the Seven Stars (Seven Heavens): Seraphimon fires seven great orbs of holy energy.
- Hallowed Ascension (Hallowed Knuckle): Seraphimon calls down a powerful bolt of lightning.
- Seraph Wing (Testament): Seraphimon discharges a close range electric energy shock from his wings.
Trivia
- Patamon has one song "Don't Stop Patapata" and another one with Takeru (better known as T.K.) Takaishi (voiced by Taisuke Yamamoto) called "Steppin' Out"
In every season patamon was last to obtain his champion evolution stage on screen, ultimate level MagnaAngemon, Digi-egg Pegasusmon (except to the three new digidestined's second set of Digieggs, Friendship, Sincerity, and Reliability), DNA-stage Shakkoumon, yet out of all of the second generation only he and gatomon/salamon could obtain Ultimate and Mega-level digivolution on their own.
Another interesting fact, & one you have to listen closely to to find out, is that unlike the other champions when they digivolve, Angemons theme song is the one used for warp digivolution. the line "digivolve into Ultimate" is replaced with the line "warp digivolve". A strange occurance to be sure. And it is not one a one-time occurance, it even trancends into season 2.
