Digimon Adventure:

Botamon is the Partner Digimon of Yagami Taichi. While Agumon never takes this form during the series, it is briefly shown during the Greymon evolution sequence.

Taichi saved a Botamon from being attacked by a Goburimon in "The Crest of Courage", during Valkyrimon's test. Taichi kept protecting Botamon from further threats, until they were attacked by three Allomon and he was nearly killed for it. At that time, Botamon spawned the Crest of Courage, then evolved into Koromon, Agumon and Greymon, defeated the Allomon, then returned to its previous forms, before fading into the Crest of Courage and into light. This was the proof Valkyrimon needed of Taichi's courage, so he passed the test.

Another Botamon appears in "The End of the Adventure".

Botamon and the other students reappeared in "Kodou Ritsu", after Pal defeated Phelesmon, which meant they could retake their studies once again.

Digimon ReCollection

After Nozomi Mayu remembered Nozomi Riko's death in Episode 3, his despair made him reject Digimon once again, and this caused Agumon to devolve into Koromon, Botamon, and then finally turn into a Digitama.

Digimon Adventure

Takaishi Takeru and Patamon found newly-born Botamon, Punimon and Yuramon in the Village of Beginnings in Episode 17, "Adventure! Patamon and I". Another Botamon was born from the Digitama Takeru rubbed, which angered Elecmon. After Takeru and Elecmon befriended each other, and Elecmon left for the Pyocomon Village in Gear Savannah, the hatched Botamon evolved into Koromon, and was congratulated by everyone for it.

A Botamon, a Punimon and a Yuramon disappeared from the Village of Beginnings in Sub-Episode 7, "Where are the Digimon?", worrying Elecmon and causing him and the Chosen Children to look for them, as they suspected they had been kidnapped. After they found the babies, Elecmon wondered why they went away from the Village of Beginnings if they were safe and not kidnapped. Returning to the Village of Beginnings, Elecmon asked the babies why they left, and they answered that they left because they were practicing a song in secret to thank Elecmon for taking care of them, which was enough to get Elecmon crying. Elecmon then thanked the Chosen Children for their help and gave them a Skill Release DigiPiece, which gives the equipped Digimon the technique of the same name which undoes Skill Seal in one ally. He then told them they could come back to the Village of Beginnings whenever they wanted.

Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode

Taiga meets a Botamon in the Restaurant of the Village of Beginnings at night. It loves the night so much it evolves into Sakuyamon.

A Botamon in the Gravel Wasteland ran in circles because its master, Were Garurumon (Black), disappeared. Said master had promised to teach it how to fight but he then started talking about exploring the desert out of nowhere and ran off. If Taiga has met Were Garurumon (Black) already, he can tell Botamon that its master is in the Colosseum, which makes Botamon wonder if he intends to train it there. Botamon then goes back to the Village of Beginnings. After meeting its master again there, it sends Taiga a mail with a Super Carrot as thanks. That training would ultimately make it evolve into Z'd Garurumon.
