Don't Stop Pata Pata

Character Song (Adventure 02): Don't Stop Pata Pata

Patamon is Takeru "T.K." Takaishi's Partner in the Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02 continuity.

Appearance

Patamon is a small flying guinea pig-like creature with light blue eyes and bat-like wings, which could possibly be his ears. He has a short, stubby tail. His underside is a light cream color, while his back and head are orange.

Description

Patamon is a main character in Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02, as well as the movies "Digimon Adventure", "Our War Game!", "Digimon Hurricane Landing!!/Transcendent Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals" and "Diaboromon Strikes Back".

Patamon is the playful Digimon partner of Takeru "T.K." Takaishi. In Digimon Adventure, Patamon was the last of the DigiDestined Digimon to achieve his Champion and Ultimate forms, achieving both long after his teammates did. However, both his Champion and Ultimate forms are immensely powerful for their respective level, especially against evil Digimon, and are responsible for defeating Devimon and the final Dark Master, Piedmon, respectively.

T.K. returns as a main character in Digimon Adventure 02, as does Patamon. Because of the Digimon Emperor's Control Spires, Patamon was no longer able to digivolve into his Champion form, and instead fought in his Armor form—Pegasusmon.

In the series, Patamon has a sensitive, sometimes childish personality.

In Digimon Adventure: Anode/Cathode Tamer, when the DigiDestined are captured by Millenniummon, Patamon must be rescued along with T.K. and joins Ryo in his adventure when he is. He is a Data and battles in the Sky.

In Digimon Tamers: Brave Tamer, Patamon can be recruited if Ryo Akiyama chooses to save T.K.

Patamon is also a playable character in many chapters of Digimon Tamers: Digimon Medley if T.K. is available and battles in Digimon Tamers: Battle Spirit Ver. 1.5.

Attacks

• Boom Bubble (Air Shot): Patamon's body inflates as he gulps in air—which he then shoots forward from his mouth.

Other Forms

The name "Patamon" refers to only the Rookie form of this Digimon. Throughout the series, Patamon gains the ability to digivolve into a number of more powerful forms (each with a different name). However, the Rookie form remains as the most common and preferred form, due to the amount of energy required to stay in a higher form.

Poyomon's Digi-Egg Poyomon's Digi-Egg was held by the Agents alongside T.K.'s Digivice and Tag, the Crest of Hope, and the other Digi-Eggs, Digivices, Tags, and Crests, but when Piedmon attacked their base and stole the tags and crests, Gennai took the Digi-Eggs and Digivices and escaped in a Mekanorimon. He deposited the Digi-Eggs on File Island, where it eventually hatched into Poyomon. The Ultimate Clash After sacrificing himself to defeat Devimon, Angemon was reformatted as a Digi-Egg. The Legend of the DigiDestined T.K. keeps the egg with him, and it hatches into Poyomon soon after the DigiDestined complete their raft for Server Continent. Departure for a New Continent

Poyomon Poyomon is Patamon's Fresh form. After Angemon sacrifices himself to defeat Devimon, Patamon's data is reconfigured into a Digi-Egg. As the DigiDestined depart for the Continent of Server, the Digi-Egg hatches into Patamon's Fresh form, Poyomon. Attacks Bubble Blow (Acid Bubbles): An attack that fires bubbles from the mouth.

Tokomon Tokomon is the In-Training form of Patamon. T.K. first meets Tokomon immediately upon his arrival into the Digital World, and the two formed a strong bond very quickly. Tokomon later digivolves into Patamon when the DigiDestined children were in danger from Kuwagamon. When Patamon is reconfigured after the battle with Devimon, he hatches as Poyomon and digivolves to this form again in the Koromon Village. While he normally appears to be harmless and cute, it is notable that when in danger Tokomon will open his mouth, which reveals layers of huge shark-like fangs. However, he is never seen using these fangs so it is likely they are just used as a scare tactic. When Patamon becomes really weak, such as after a DNA Digivolution, he is most likely to revert to this form. Attacks Bubble Blow (Acid Bubbles): An attack that involves firing bubbles from the mouth.

Pegasusmon Digi-Egg of Hope Pegasusmon, the "Flying Hope" (or "the hope that gallops across the skies" (Amakakeru Kibou) in Japan), is the form Patamon becomes when he armor digivolves using the Digi-Egg of Hope. Patamon first became Pegasusmon when the Digi-Egg of Hope was found. Patamon and his partner T.K., along with Kari and Gatomon ended up in a cave after escaping from attacking Tyrannomon. TK managed to open the Digi-Egg and evoked its power, allowing Patamon to armor digivolve to Pegasusmon. Unlike the other Armor Digimon, Pegasusmon was still needed after Ken reformed, mainly due to the fact that Angemon's main attack, Hand of Fate, was useless against the Control Spire Digimon the DigiDestined had to face, as well as the fact that it's hard for T.K. to ride on Angemon. Pegasusmon is Patamon's Armor digivolution in both Digimon Tamers: Brave Tamer and Digimon Tamers: Digimon Medley, though Ryo needs to equip Patamon with the Pegasusmon card in the former to do so. Attacks Star Shower (Shooting Star): Pegasusmon shoots a cluster of stars from his wings. Equus Beam (Silver Blaze): Shoots a green beam from his forehead. Wind Mane (Needle Rain): Pegasusmon sends out a shower of needles from his mane. Golden Noose (Sanctuary Bind): Pegasusmon partners with Nefertimon to bind enemies with a rope of golden light.

Manbomon Manbomon is the armor digivolved form of Patamon through the Digi-Egg of Light. During the fight against Pukumon, Joe Kido stumbles into the other DigiDestined and scatters their D-Terminals, so that T.K. accidentally picks up Kari's D-Terminal and uses the Digi-Egg of Light to armor digivolve Patamon to Manbomon. Armor Evolution to the Unknown

Baronmon Baronmon is the armor digivolved form of Patamon through the Digi-Egg of Courage. Baronmon is the 2nd match in Pyramid City's Extra Arena, which features Patamon's digivolutions. He uses the "Twin Meteor" Deck.

Angemon Angemon is the Champion form of Patamon. Angemon is a six-winged Angel dressed in white and blue clothing. Like many other humanoid angelic Digimon, such as Angewomon and Kazemon, his eyes are covered by his helmet and are never seen, giving him the appearance of a blind prophet. Patamon becomes Angemon for the first time during the final fight against Devimon. Devimon had already defeated the other six DigiDestined and their partner Digimon, and when he attempted to grab T.K., Patamon jumped in front of T.K. and finally digivolved into his Champion form Angemon. In a final desperate attempt to defeat Devimon, Angemon sacrificed himself, but was soon reborn as a Digi-Egg, eventually hatching to Poyomon soon after. Angemon reappeared in the Real World during the battle between Myotismon and WereGarurumon, and with their combined strength, the pair manage to drive off the villain, although they are unable to put an end to him. Angemon is a very powerful Champion Digimon—his primary attack, the Hand of Fate is very effective against Virus Digimon. Even Myotismon (an Ultimate level Digimon) had been unable to dissipate it, (he had been able to dissipate Ultimate-level attacks from the other DigiDestined's Digimon), although the attack itself was an ambush, and Phantomon (another Ultimate Digimon) was completely destroyed by it. Interestingly, the only Digimon Angemon is unable to defeat are those who are of the Mega level; namely the Dark Masters and VenomMyotismon although he was able to hold off Piedmon for a few minutes. During the battle with LadyDevimon, Angemon and Birdramon left in the middle of the fight in order to gather the forces. Angemon and Angewomon appeared to fight Cherubimon. Later on, they digivolved to Seraphymon and Magnadramon to release the Golden Digi-Eggs. After the Digimon Emperor was defeated and his block against Digivolution lifted, Patamon had the natural ability to once again assume his Champion form. However, his main attack, Hand of Fate, was useless against the majority of Digimon the DigiDestined had to fight, since they where created from Control Spires. This meant they were not real Digimon and Angemon's attack only affected evil Digimon. For that reason, Pegasusmon was still used as his primary fighting form until Angemon and Ankylomon unlocked the power of DNA Digivolution. When Diaboromon resurfaces on the net, Angemon and Angewomon appeared to help Omnimon fight Diaboromon. The angels pinned him down as Omnimon impaled Diaboromon before he appeared in the Real World as Armageddemon. Revenge of Diaboromon When the Old Clock Shop Man summons the heroes of the past to the Fusion universe to help take down Quartzmon, Angemon shows up alongside Angewomon and Justimon to assist in the DigiQuartz. A Great Legendary Hero Gathering! The Digimon All-star Showdown!! Angemon is Patamon's Champion digivolution in both Digimon Tamers: Brave Tamer and Digimon Tamers: Digimon Medley. Attacks Hand of Fate (Heaven's Knuckle): Angemon fires a beam of sacred energy from his fist. Angel Rod (Holy Rod): A strike using the staff he carries. Angel Staff (Holy Staff): Spins his staff to block incoming attacks.

MagnaAngemon MagnaAngemon is Patamon's natural Ultimate form. He carries the sword Excalibur, which allows him to open the Gate of Destiny. Piedmon, the last of the Dark Masters, had been able to turn almost all the DigiDestined children and their Digimon into key chains. Patamon digivolved to Angemon and joined the fight, but was defeated by Piedmon. After seeing T.K.'s willingness to never give up, Angemon finally digivolved into MagnaAngemon, and overwhelmed Piedmon. Using the Magna Antidote ability, MagnaAngemon was able to restore all the DigiDestined and their Digimon. MagnaAngemon then helped WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon defeat Piedmon. It was MagnaAngemon who finally finished off Piedmon with his Gate of Destiny which WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon knocked him into after it finished off the last of Piedmon's army. He made very few appearances in Digimon Adventure, appearing only to fight Piedmon and Apocalymon. When TK used the crest power to free the Digimon Sovereigns, Patamon lost the power to become MagnaAngemon. MagnaAngemon makes brief appearances three years later. Angemon uses the power of one of the Destiny Stones to digivolve into MagnaAngemon and fight the nearly invincible BlackWarGreymon. Despite only being an Ultimate, MagnaAngemon is able to fight on equal footing with the Mega BlackWarGreymon, due to his advantage against Evil Digimon. He nearly destroys BlackWarGreymon with his Gate of Destiny, but BlackWarGreymon destroys the Destiny Stone, cutting off MagnaAngemon's power source and causing him to degenerate and his attack to dissipate. Azulongmon gave one of his DigiCores to the DigiDestined Digimon, restoring their lost ability to digivolve to their ultimate forms. MagnaAngemon also teams up with MetalGreymon and Kiwimon to fight Mamemon, BigMamemon, MetalMamemon and Giromon where Tai and T.K. send them back to the Digital World. Angemon digivolves to MagnaAngemon after scaring off MarineDevimon, but when he shows up to fight SkullSatamon, he is hit by SkullSatamon's Skull Hammer attack without being able to defend himself due to SkullSatamon's speed. Instead of pursuing SkullSatamon, MagnaAngemon gives his power to Imperialdramon Dragon Mode alongside the other Digimon, allowing their friend to become Imperialdramon Fighter Mode; afterward, he degenerates to Patamon. MagnaAngemon appears a final time when T.K. has Patamon digivolve to three of his forms: Angemon, Pegasusmon, and MagnaAngemon, who each attack MaloMyotismon. However, they vanish when they cross into the Digital World. MagnaAngemon is Patamon's Ultimate digivolution in both Digimon Tamers: Brave Tamer and Digimon Tamers: Digimon Medley. Attacks Gate of Destiny (Heaven's Gate): MagnaAngemon creates a large portal that sucks in the data from enemy Digimon. MagnaAngemon can also unleash an aurora beam when standing behind it. Magna Antidote (Holy Disinfection): An all-purpose healing ability.

Shakkoumon

Seraphymon Seraphymon is Patamon's Mega form. Seraphymon is one of the keepers of the golden Digi-Eggs, the other being Magnadramon. During the battle, Angewomon and Angemon warp digivolved into their Mega forms to release the Golden Digi-Eggs. After releasing them, the two Megas could not stay in this form and had to degenerate into Gatomon and Patamon. Digimon Hurricane Landing!!/Transcendent Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals Seraphymon is Patamon's Mega digivolution in Digimon Tamers: Brave Tamer, Digimon Tamers: Battle Spirit Ver. 1.5, and Digimon Rumble Arena. When Apocalymon revives Puppetmon, T.K. and Patamon show up to fight alongside Tai, which causes Patamon to warp digivolve to Seraphymon. Digimon Adventure (PSP)
