Ponchomon

Profile Name & Etymology Debut Digimon Reference Book Digimon Life Virtual Pets ⇨ Japanese An Armor-level Ghost Digimon that evolved through the power of the "Digimental of Purity". Although it is classified as a Ghost-type, it is an unusual Digimon that appears to be a Plant-type, as far as you can tell from its appearance, and it is rumored that when a Togemon has died due to unforeseen circumstances, it will become a Ponchomon. It is said to be a Digimon that was generated from a "Latin music distribution program" that exists on the Network. It looks as though it has a cheerful personality, but its facial expression can't be read, and it is eerie to other Digimon. Because all of its actions are performed with a Latin rhythm, it views Digimon that can't keep up with the beat as its enemies. It seems to get along with Bakemon, who moves to its own music. Its Signature Moves are striking the opponent while getting into a rhythm with the maracas attached to its Mexican hat (Blood Dance: Maracas Version), and driving punches that only hit the opponent's face with its leather-strapped fists, intoxicating them with its destructive power (Tequila Knuckle).
