Profile

Gatchmon is Haru Shinkai's Buddy Appmon, and the two generally get along well. Gatchmon is very proud of his search abilities and frequently uses them to look up information about the things around him. Before meeting Haru, he had lived entirely within the internet and had never seen the real world, making him eager to explore it and experience new things.

Throughout the series, Gatchmon is shown to enjoy receiving attention, especially from Haru. He even goes so far as to run away from home when Offmon begins receiving more attention than him.

Gatchmon's constant bickering with his first App Fusion partner, Navimon, once resulted in a failed fusion that produced Sukasimon. This occurred only once, and they were able to fuse successfully thereafter.

Gatchmon's favorite treat is the Gatch Monaka candy bar.

Appearances

Anime

Digimon Universe Appli Monsters

Gatchmon lives in the Net Ocean and battles Leviathan. In order to evolve, he searches for his ideal human partner, whom he eventually finds in Haru. Pursued by Leviathan, Gatchmon narrowly escapes and dives into Haru's room through his smartphone. Haru initially has no intention of getting involved, but after witnessing Gatchmon bravely battle Messemon, an Appmon infected with the L-Virus, he decides to help and unlocks the Appli Drive, allowing Gatchmon to materialize. Together, they defeat Messemon.

In the weeks that follow, Haru and Gatchmon repeatedly deal with Appmon infected by the virus, who cause problems for app users throughout the city. They also search for the Seven Code Appmon, who are said to hold the key to defeating Leviathan. On Halloween, Cameramon attempts to trick them into surrendering the Appli Drive. When the plan fails, he resorts to force and evolves into Scorpmon, but is defeated by DoGatchmon, Gatchmon's evolved form attained through his fusion with Navimon.

Some time later, Haru and Gatchmon encounter two other Appli Drivers, Eri and Torajirou (Astra), along with their Appmon, Dokamon and Musimon. In December, Gatchmon and Navimon organize the Appmon Ranking Championship in the Cyber Arena. During the final event, Gatchmon teams up with Ropuremon. The children are later ambushed by Sakusimon, but DoGatchmon defeats him with the help of an Applink with Raidramon.

At the beginning of the new year, Gatchmon and the others accompany Haru to his grandfather Denemon's former laboratory, where they meet Timemon. Timemon reveals the history of Leviathan and Minerva, the AI created by Den'emon and the source of the Appli Drives. Some time later, Haru risks his life to save DoGatchmon, but Timemon intervenes and fuses with him, allowing DoGatchmon to evolve into Globemon.

Digimon Universe Appli Monsters

During the subquest "Hifumigaoka, Blossom Park", after Shinkai Haru stopped Kazuki/Itsuki from picking one of Trickmon's Illusion Challenge boxes, Gatchmon Appliarised and called out Trickmon for having no actual winning boxes, which Haru thought was likely because that'd be a typically villainous thing to do. Haru then had Gatchmon use his Deep Search to search the Net Ocean with the keywords "box" and "contents", which confirmed all boxes were duds. While Haru ordered Trickmon to behave as its trick was foiled, Trickmon instead decided to erase both Appli Drivers in rage.

After being defeated in combat, Trickmon surrendered and pledged to never play tricks again and restore the deleted data, then left. Haru and Kazuki/Itsuki then thanked each other, while Gatchmon proudly stated how good Haru's searches were. Haru then remembered Kazuki/Itsuki somehow knew his name, and they explained Kashiki Ai sent them for him. Haru was shocked that two big parks existed in Hifumigaoka as Gatchmon had found the park they were in. After promising to go get Ai, Haru asked Kazuki/Itsuki if, as a local Appli Driver, they knew about the Seven Code Appmon. Haru explained he was looking for them and Gatchmon had found one of them was in Hifumigaoka, which Gatchmon clarified meant that "the loud one" was "in a lively place". Haru wondered if a Seven Code Appmon could merely be searched, which annoyed Gatchmon, while Kazuki/Itsuki realized they knew of an Appmon that fit that description - MCmon of the Cyber Arena. With that knowledge, Gatchmon quickly left, with Haru following him.

There, Gatchmon quickly confronted MCmon, who confirmed he was a Seven Code but would only help Haru if he fought Kazuki/Itsuki with MCmon commenting over the fight. Kazuki/Itsuki agreed, as they wanted to face off against Haru. After they were beaten, Haru had Gatchmon and Navimon AppGattai into DoGatchmon as his trump card. While this was still not enough to win, Haru was satisfied with their fight, though Gatchmon was more focused on the Seven Codes. Haru then pointed out that MCmon wasn't a Seven Code and MCmon admitted he lied for the views. Gatchmon asked why Haru didn't say anything earlier but Haru pointed out he tried, Gatchmon just wouldn't stop talking over him, and besides he also wanted to fight Kazuki/Itsuki after seeing how happy they were. Gatchmon refused to give up on the info he had searched so Haru agreed to stay on Hifumigaoka a bit more, though he thought he was forgetting something - namely, Ai who was still waiting at Fountain Park. Haru and Gatchmon then left.

Haru is the final opponent of the DoGatch Cup Tournament. As before, as his last Appmon, he AppGattais Gatchmon and Navimon into DoGatchmon.
