Digivice

Digivices (デジヴァイス Dejivaisu) in most Digimon media are strange tools used to tame, evolve and strengthen Digimon (and in Digimon Frontier, humans). Their forms vary, as do their functions, but all Digivices allow Evolution.

=DigiMon V-Pet= Digivices were first created as a story point and case for the V-Pet, DigiMon. Many versions are available.

=Appearances=

Digimon Adventure & Adventure 02
This was the first TV appearence of a Digivice. They were merely used for Evolution and energy sharing. The Digivices were later updated to incorperate the use of Digimentals and could be used to open portals to the Digital World and Organic World. They were dubbed "D-3's" by Koushiro.

Digimon Tamers
The Digivices in Digimon Tamers, known in the original anime as D-Arcs, were mostly used for the "Card Slash" technique. This modifies the Digimon's physical form to aid in battle.

Digimon Savers

They were known as the Digivice iC, simply called Digivice in the Anime, while a later upgrade of the iC was known as the Digivice Burst. Other digivices in the Savers anime were Kurata's Digivice and the Bio Hybrid Digivice.
