Evolution (進化 Shinka; Dub: Digivolution) is the process by which Digimon grow and develop. In the course of evolution, a Digimon typically experiences an increase in their Evolution Stage, transforming into a stronger Digimon species. All Digimon naturally undergo permanent evolution at a relatively slow scale by way of slow intake of data. However, in partnership with a human Tamer, evolution can typically be artificially triggered by way of the human's emotions or energy, or through the use of one of numerous types of evolution item, in combination with a Digivice or similar device to temporarily evolve the partner Digimon to a higher level.

Types of Evolution[edit]

Evolution[edit]

In addition to referring to the natural Digimon process, Evolution can refer to the temporary "artificial" process by which a Child Digimon evolves to the Adult level when partnered with a human Tamer.

Dark Evolution[edit]

Dark Evolution (暗黒進化 Ankoku Shinka, Dub: Dark Digivolution) is a variation of evolution which is triggered by the negative emotions of a Tamer being so great that they have a negative effect on their partner Digimon, initiating evolution to a "darker", generally uncontrollable Digimon. Sometimes, it has a sub-type called Dark Warp Evolution.

Mutation[edit]

Mutation (変異 Hen'i) is a process similar to evolution which occurs on Infected Digimon, which may cause the Digimon to develop new mutant form and/or progress to the next evolution stage. The Digimon are generally uncontrollable.

Super Evolution[edit]

Super Evolution (超進化 Chou Shinka; Dub: Digivolution) constitutes two different methods of evolution in different canons.

Super Evolution (Adventure)[edit]

In Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02, Super Evolution evolves an Adult Digimon to the Perfect level using a Tag and Crest.

Warp Evolution[edit]

Warp Evolution (ワープ進化 Wāpu Shinka) is the process of rapid evolution skipping at least one level. This is most commonly seen as evolving from Child or Adult straight to the Ultimate level, but can also evolve a Child to Perfect.

Jogress Evolution[edit]

Jogress Evolution (ジョグレス進化 Jyoguresu Shinka; also spelled Jogres Evolution; Dub: DNA Digivolution) fuses two or more Digimon of any level to evolve into a single merged Digimon, usually of a higher level. Jogress is a portmanteau of "joint" and "progress".

Fusion[edit]

Fusion (合体 Gattai; Dub: DNA Digivolution) fuses two or more Digimon into a single Digimon of the same level. Within the franchise, some Fusions have been referred as Jogress Evolutions, but the difference still holds.[5]

Partition (パーティション Paatishon) is the process of splitting a Jogressed Perfect or Ultimate back into its individual component Digimon.

Armor Evolution[edit]

Armor Evolution (アーマー進化 Aamaa Shinka; Dub: Armor Digivolution) evolves a Child or Adult Digimon to the Armor level by using a Digimental. The command used by the Chosen Children is "Digimental Up!" (Dejimentaru Appu; Dub: "Digi-Armor Energize!").
