Baby II

Baby II (幼年期Ⅱ Yōnenki; Dub: In-Training/In-Training II ), also referred to as Level II, is the second natural Evolution Stage in Digimon evolution.

=Overview= Baby II is the next Evolution Stage following Baby I. At this point in development, Digimon's compositional data stabilizes. However, they remain incapable of fighting and possess poor offensive capability, but can often produce some sort of weak technique to attempt to intimidate or surprise threats, such as blowing bubbles, emitting ultrasonic shouts, or physically striking them.

The majority of Baby II Digimon species are small, round and limbless in shape. There are exceptions that have grown limbs, such as Tokomon (four small limb-like protrusions) and Chibimon (a body, hands, and feet), but they are extremely rare. Wings, like Poromon's, are also a rarity for Baby II Digimon.

The majority of Baby II Digimon belong to the Lesser Type and, typically, are depicted as not having an Attribute.

It is rare for Baby Digimon to take in the X-Antibody. The only extant X-Antibody Baby Digimon is Tokomon (X-Antibody), who is often preyed upon for its X-Antibodies.

Baby II Digimon evolve into Child Digimon, at which point they undergo significant progress in their cognitive development, strength, and awakening of their combat instincts, and become able to fight.

In Video and Card Games
For the sake of gameplay expediency, it is common for Digimon video and card game media to exclude the Baby I and Baby II levels entirely, in which case Baby II Digimon are, at best, relegated to only making minor cameos or appearing as NPCs who are not part of the core gameplay.

In the Digimon Story video games for Nintendo DS (Digimon Story, Digimon Story: Sunburst & Moonlight, Digimon Story: Lost Evolution), Baby I and Baby II are replaced with one combined "Baby" Evolution Stage, comprised of a mix of both Baby I and Baby II Digimon who all evolve into Child Digimon.

The Digimon Card Game is the first Digimon trading card game to give Baby II ("Lv. 2") Digimon cards of their own. However, they are treated differently from higher-level Digimon cards as, instead of belonging to the Digimon card type, they belong to the Digitama card type, which are handled separately from Digimon cards in the Hatching and Raising Areas until they are evolved into a Lv.3 (Child) Digimon.
