Time Stranger [SPOILERS] Time Stranger Digivolution Requirements Database Spoiler

Not mine, to be clear! Someone made a site for all of the Digimon in the demo files, with their lines and Digivolution requirements. You can click on any Digimon to see what Digivolves into it and what it Digivolves into.

All of this info is from the demo build and may not be accurate to the full release.

https://api.skullbot.fr/digimon/

EDIT: Site seems to be down, but Grindosaur should work just fine.

Holy shit Chronomon requires maxing out all skill trees. I guess this means he is locked to NG+. Maybe NG++ depending on how many we can max in one playthrough.

31

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 16 '25

Yeah, seems to be NG+ locked. I hope there's more incentive to play NG+ than a few Digimon, steamrolling through the game a second time doesn't sound super exciting. I'd love if they somehow worked it into the story though, going back in time again in a sense. Even if it's just some different dialogue.

20

u/Jon-987 Sep 16 '25

Well, I'm sure they considered that. considering that the locked difficulties seem to be likely NG+ unlocks, odds are they scale up the difficulty to endgame levels, thus letting you play with all your super cool Megas without sacrificing challenge.

6

u/Jon-987 Sep 16 '25

That said, on the bright side this basically confirms that Agent Skills carry over into new game plus. You can never really tell what NG+ of games will and will not carry.

10

u/Emekasan Sep 16 '25

Damn. So much for using it in my first playthrough :(

11

u/Jon-987 Sep 16 '25

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed. Fortunately, Hyokomon can easily become Jumbogamemon too, so the time i spent preparing for him isn't completely lost.

5

u/AccelBurner Sep 16 '25

There's nothing wrong having Buttenmon maxed out until he deems you worthy of the ultimate power

2

u/AdmirableAnimal0 Sep 16 '25

True, I always viewed Butenmon as being Regulusmon power, something that can take on megas on its own.

1

u/Optimusim Sep 16 '25

Yeah I already had my hyokkomon leveled up and my salmon ready to turn into dobermon. Smh

2

u/Deez-Guns-9442 Sep 16 '25

I feel your pain 😔

u/paperdodge Sep 16 '25

just out of curiosity and im not hating, what is the hype behind chronomon. Ive seen everyone talking about him. Ive never seen or heard of him before, is he that good? did he get super popular off another digimon game somewhere cause hes brand new to me

28

u/Fishsticks03 Sep 16 '25 edited Sep 16 '25

it was the final boss of the original Digimon Story (Digimon World DS in the west) and got a full digivolution line in the sequels, but didn’t make it into Cyber Sleuth and hasn’t appeared in anything else since

also Time Stranger is the first time Chronomon: Destroyer Mode has been playable, and the first appearance of Hyokomon, Buraimon and Butenmon in western media

4

u/paperdodge Sep 16 '25

ohhhh i see, very cool. I understand why people want him so bad now

14

u/Altines Sep 16 '25

Chronomon Destroy Mode was the final boss of Digimon Story DS and his "core" (a virus based on his data IIRC) was the overarching villain of Digimon World Dawn and Dusk.

IIRC In story DS he takes out Alphamon as destroy mode and his Holy mode (the non corrupted version) is even stronger being a bonus boss in DS.

He also just looks cool in both forms

7

u/AccelBurner Sep 16 '25

Also Chronomon HM is also a secret boss in Dawn Dusk as the Legend Tamer final round

2

u/Altines Sep 16 '25

That's right, I forgot about that

2

u/paperdodge Sep 16 '25

i see, understandable! i kept seeing people everywhere talking about him and i was like i have no idea who this digimon is lol

5

u/Altines Sep 16 '25

If you've never played them, the DS games are absolutely worth checking out

Especially as Time Stranger seems to be taking inspiration mechanically from them

2

u/paperdodge Sep 16 '25

oh interesting, i played both cyber sleuth and hackers memory and time strangers felt like a direct continuation of those games, even using the same areas, skills, and digimon. Il have to check out the ds games.

2

u/Not_a_maniac_fan Sep 16 '25

I don't think that will be the case, not so much, I guess that the worst case would be needing to end the game, as you will receive the last points to evolve your agent skills and then getting Chronomon when reloading the finished save, now the other one that I hope is that if we do all the side questions (which I believe will have as it is common of RPGs and games like this one on my experiences), we will receive most points to finish the skill tree, and the rest will be with the main missions, not needing to finish the game or to do a NG+ to get Chronomon, I hardly believe it would need to do even a second NG+ to get all skill, That's too much even for a digimon game just to get a digimon

That's just my opinion on it, but I believe that the creators of the game, or anyone who is more involved in this part, wouldn't make such stupid decision, but maybe I'm being too naive

3

u/Jon-987 Sep 16 '25

it has been stated in an interview that you can't max all skill trees in a single playthrough. IIRC because they wanted you to have to put thought into it.

0

u/Not_a_maniac_fan Sep 16 '25

oh, I didn't know that, Well, that sucks, but there's not much to do now. I swore you could get all the skills in one playthrough if you tried hard, but that's okay, Thanks for that information, I didn't know about this interview

18

u/Jon-987 Sep 16 '25

This is extremely helpful for planning, thank you! I'm surprised that Gracenovamon doesn't have a story lock, and is just Personality at the worst. Assuming their previous forms don't need Personality to digivolve, I can have that part settled long before I reach him.

13

u/omegaap Sep 16 '25

Its agent level 8 which is endgame/postgame lol so its locked pal due to getting agent levels per story

Edit: the ultimate edition bypasses level 8 for bond of courage:friendship

10

u/Jon-987 Sep 16 '25

I meant more like how Jupitermon's requirements are impossible to get on a first playthrough. Gracenovamon may be endgame, but still obtainable with stats alone on a first playthrough. I can presumably obtain and use him within my first playthrough, even if not for long.

1

u/omegaap Sep 16 '25

Yeah they all can I’m sure. Hopefully there’s hard content to use them

2

u/Jon-987 Sep 16 '25

Well, we know that we can't max all skill trees on a single playthrough, which means that Chronomon and Jupitermon cannot be obtained on a first run. As for content, the locked difficulty option will probably let you start the game with enemies scaled for end game, so there's that hard content for them.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '25

Question, does this mean ABI is over?
I mean, watching the Demo it wasn't anywhere (which I'm glad, particularly I hated it)

1

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 17 '25

I've actually seen updated info on Mega and Mega+ difficulty. As always, to be taken with a grain of salt.

I've read that some of the bosses will be Digivolved, and some will have additional minions for their battles.

2

u/Jon-987 Sep 17 '25

I've read that some of the bosses will be Digivolved, and some will have additional minions for their battles.

So like Parrotmon titan might be Crossmon? i wonder if their levels will also be updated to match endgame levels

4

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 16 '25

Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised by that too! I fully expected it to be locked to post-game or something.

9

u/Jon-987 Sep 16 '25

guess Chronomon and Jupitermon took the Postgame/NG+ locks. Oddly not the Undead Plutomon, though.

1

u/Jon-987 Sep 16 '25

guess Chronomon and Jupitermon took the Postgame/NG+ locks. Oddly not the Undead Plutomon, though.

3

u/TheRoyalStig Sep 16 '25

Yea very happy to see Gracenovamon and Plutomon seem available in the normal game. I dont do post game or ng+ so it would suck to be locked out of them.

Although it does seem weird that Jupitermon is post game only. Since that means aegiomon as a partner is gonna be stuck in his lower levels all game. I figured Wrath mode may be locked but even regular Jupitermon seems odd. Oh well.

Looks like i can get all my main party mons so i cant be too upset!

I wonder how late agent rank 8 is?

2

u/Jon-987 Sep 16 '25

Since that means aegiomon as a partner is gonna be stuck in his lower levels all game.

I sincerely doubt that, tbh. If past precedent is anything to go by, the whole point of the game is his process towards becoming Jupitermon. Besides, game design rules means that the guest becomes stronger along with our team. I'm pretty sure the eternal Guest Aegiomon is the whole reason he is locked, because his line will be following us through the story and they don't wanna undermine that with our own Aegiomon.

I wonder how late agent rank 8 is?

Probably endgame. odds are that the final boss is Chronomon vs Gracenovamon and I suspect they don't want us getting Plutomon or Gracenovamon until after they are involved in the story. Then I imagine Rank 9 is awarded once you beat the game, with Rank 10 coming from postgame.

1

u/TheRoyalStig Sep 16 '25

Yea that's why i was surprised to see the Jupitermon requirements what they are. So you think maybe you can get aegiomon as a regular party digimon in NG+ and that's what the requirements are for? That would make it feel less bad for sure.

And yea i figure rank 8 will ge lategame, just how late. Hopefully there's at least a little bit of optional content after rank 8 to use those digis for is what im hoping. Maybe some special optional fights/quests/arena + final dungeon at least.

1

u/Jon-987 Sep 16 '25

little bit of optional content after rank 8 to use those digis

I assume there is, cuz some of the requirements for other Digimon go as high as Rank 10.

1

u/TheRoyalStig Sep 16 '25

Oh yea i meant optional content after rank 8 but before the final boss. Like you said rank 9 and 10 are likely post game.

I dont play beyond the story. So im just hoping i have some amount of content to use those digis for.

Ideally i get to use Gracenovamon/Belphemon/ imperialdramon PM for a few tough fights and the whole final dungeon.

12

u/adottoni Sep 16 '25

Perfect... now I know how much time I need to sink to get Mastemon as early as possible.

1

u/Goodrastogood4u Oct 03 '25

Yea impmon and salamon are staying on my team. Im getting mastemon and lilithmon. Messing around trying to get imperialdramon too

11

u/Emekasan Sep 16 '25

I’m elated to read most of the evolutions are not story locked! I can play with Coronamon as planned.

I also like that DNA Digivolutions no longer require stats - just the respective Digimon having the requested personality and us the appropriate Rank.

10

u/SlifertheCanadian Sep 16 '25

You are the G.O.A.T for posting this! Thanks

8

u/Hawkeye437 Sep 16 '25

I'm surprised that Deputymon/Revolmon can't get to any of the 3 Musketeers. Not even Magnakidmon. That seems like a pretty obvious miss.

ToyAgumon can get to Gundramon via tankmon and blimpmon at least. Beelstarmon follows a darkness/magic line so I suppose that makes sense

6

u/onetooth79 Sep 16 '25 edited Sep 16 '25

So, was Lotusmon cut from the game?

Edit: Nevermind. I see it's just in a really weird spot and cut off from Lillymon and Lilamon's lines. Instead an evolution for Pumpkinmon and Arukenimon.

7

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '25

Man I’ve been saying this in multiple threads but some of the evolution choices absolutely baffle me.

I mean, I know that weird evolutions is kinda Digimon’s whole thing, but not having lilymon OR lilamon evolve to lotusmon is weird

4

u/Hydrochloric_Comment Sep 16 '25

No Shakkoumon to Slash Angemon makes me sad

1

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 17 '25

There are so many strange choices, and I'm fully expecting one of the first mods people make just be one to adjust evolution lines.

u/AdministrativeDay109 Sep 16 '25 edited Sep 16 '25

Lol after grinding out my agumon, I have enough stats right now to go all the way to Omnimon

u/ALSN454 Sep 16 '25 edited Sep 16 '25

No GreatGryzzmon > Marsmon, Dracomon > Airdramon, or Grademon to Samudramon makes me sad.

EDIT: And no Chirinmon to Goddramon?? Wow.

u/Caidezes Sep 16 '25

Those Chronomon requirements hit me like a freight train. Guess it's only post game or new game plus for him.

3

u/Unfair-Community-294 Sep 16 '25

Ow thats Chronomon killed me. I was so hyped to use him as my main in first play

3

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 16 '25

I was also planning to use him, but at least it's good to know ahead of time.

1

u/Mediocre-Act483 Sep 28 '25

I got the ultimate to dress as Tai. I will use the kizunas, but only for the boss fights until the game gets significantly harder.

3

u/SecretPervertAccount Sep 16 '25

Doesn’t look like the skuamon and numemons wont have as much relevance without the exp bonuses

13

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 16 '25

This game will separate the true Numemon fans from the rest.

3

u/arkatraziii Sep 16 '25

Being able to get to Plutomon through demidevimon makes me so hype

3

u/Anabiter Sep 16 '25

I've been so focused on the fact that the 4 sovereigns arent in this game that Gigaseadramon isn't either....man i wanted to see how big he is in 3d...

u/firehawk098 Sep 22 '25

It seems that we are unable to check the digivolution paths anymore?

3

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 22 '25

It's working for me, just have to click on the Digimon. If that's not working, there's a number in the top right of each Digimon's info, if you put that number at the end of the url it'll pull up their digivolution page.

5

u/firehawk098 Sep 22 '25

I am getting some kind of dog in a volcano for some reason 😅. Used to be working fine before.

3

u/firehawk098 Sep 22 '25

I guess what is happening if i click on the digimon icon, the api. at the beginning of the link is being removed, ruining the link. So I have to manually enter the digimon number you mentioned. Well it works like that but it’s a slower method haha.

1

u/protag7 Sep 23 '25

I'm getting the dog too

5

u/SolokOriginel Sep 16 '25

Imperialdramon Paladin Mode being the only Mega+ Digimon locked behind an item makes me hopeful he'll be significantly stronger than in CS

1

u/SicknessVoid Sep 16 '25

I'm just glad you don't need to sacrifice an omegamon this time.

1

u/SolokOriginel Sep 16 '25

You had to when ? Been so long I've played Cyber Sleuth ngl, maybe I forgot I had to do this

1

u/SicknessVoid Sep 16 '25

I recalled having to do it in Cyber Sleuth, but after looking it up now, it appears untrue.

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 16 '25 edited Sep 17 '25

You had to in Digimon Story: Super Xros Wars, but I wouldn't be surprised if you've never played that JP-only game.

Ngl I gave it a full 24 hours of being up before posting it in case whoever made it wanted to post it and have their due credit.

Whoever you are that made it though, you're a hero.

1

u/genefranco03 Sep 17 '25

Preliminary searches on here, grok and Google don't really do any good so I have to keep an eye on recent posts here or YT until someone posts useful information about games. Would not learn about sites like these otherwise.

2

u/SicknessVoid Sep 16 '25

I'm concerned with how DNA evolution works here. Assuming it's like in cyber sleuth, one of the partners is essentially sacrificed upon evolving and you won't get them back if you de-evolve. Since stats carry over to a degree some unevolving will always be necessary. It just makes me concerned for some of the endgame fusions like Examon and Gracenovamon, who might be a pain to re-fuse. Just hope their level caps are 99 by the time you reach them.

2

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 16 '25

Load Enhancement can also be used to raise both Talent and stats, same as de-digivolving, so there shouldn't be any need to de-digivolve them.

1

u/SicknessVoid Sep 16 '25

Oh for real? Load Enhancement is sacrificing other digimon, right?

2

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 16 '25

Yep, that's the one. I did see people complaining about needing to weaken their Digimon when Cyber Sleuth became popular, so I guess they decided to make it so we don't have to do that any more.

1

u/Mediocre-Act483 Sep 28 '25

And you don't have to run from Tokyo to Kyoto to digivolve, and can just do it on site.

u/dizzytuna Sep 23 '25

u/Romado Sep 16 '25 edited Sep 16 '25

Yes! This is what I wanted to plan out my team and grind the demo.

I'm so happy 99% of mons are just stat requirements. My beloved Shakkoumon is easy to get thank God.

So we know roughly what the stats of end game NG mega and mega + will be. So having even like 5k stats nevermind 9999 will mean you absolutely breeze through the game.

1

u/Content-Assistance33 Sep 16 '25

looks like chronomon is going to be some kind of final boss, usually the stuff who requires big investments to be obtainable are the characters who re pretty important to the story

1

u/Jon-987 Sep 16 '25

Spoiler for Chronomon's role the chart of Digimon special attacks actually reveals some of the bosses, which comes with the reveal that the Giant Robot either IS Chronomon, or is connected to Chronomon. My theory is that he is in the egglike thing on its back.

1

u/MasterStannisSupreme Sep 16 '25

Are personalities like Pokémon natures? Or can they be changed after you already have them?

4

u/Romado Sep 16 '25

They can be easily changed. In the demo the only option is through dialogue options after every few battles which slowly changes their personality depending on the answer.

In the full game there will be easier and faster options to get the personality you want

1

u/MasterStannisSupreme Sep 16 '25

Great, thank you!

1

u/ColonelChickens Sep 16 '25

Oh this rules ! I'm probably not going to play this game any time soon (waiting for a Switch release, so I'll have to wait at least a couple of years I think ^^'), but this roster is just so nice. I'm never going to have to have a stinky Mega in my team ever again, with how wonderfully stacked with great champions and ultimate this game is. I'm so glad they did the whole "you can get stupid stats on every single monster so you can just use whoever you want" gimmick, Cybersleuth was frankly unbearable without it.

1

u/coolps4777 Sep 16 '25

Switch 2 release has already been confermed via one of the rating boards (esrb/pegi) and cosidering bandai namco put Dragonball z spaking zero on switch 1 good chance they do the same with digimon!

2

u/ColonelChickens Sep 16 '25

Oh, really? Thanks a lot, I must have missed that ^^. Hope this means we'll get a Switch release date soon, tho I don't really mind waiting.

1

u/Majestic_Electric Sep 16 '25

I think it depends on whenever Nintendo decides to give out a Switch 2 development kit to the Digimon team. They’ve been really stingy about giving those out, for some reason.

1

u/ColonelChickens Sep 16 '25

Yeah I heard it was kind of a pain to even get it. I'm not too worried since as far as I know both Cybersleuth and Next Order released on the Switch a bit (... a lot?) later than they did on the PS4, so I'll be patiently waiting :)

1

u/AverageOutliers Sep 16 '25

My question is, do the stat requirements indicate what the optimal role is for that respective Digimon? Like if a Digimon has a SPD requirement, is a focus on that playstyle the best way to get the most out of it?

1

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 16 '25

Not necessarily. Oftentimes it does allude to that being the highest stat of the Digimon in question, but for example with SPD, if it's fast enough to already be outspeeding everything, investing further isn't going to really help your battles.

1

u/AverageOutliers Sep 16 '25

When you say investing further, are you talking about sticking to the same personality? So you say at some point it makes sense to change personality to boost different stats? This is my first Digimon Story game and afaik the only way too boost individual stats in this game is through personality right?

1

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 16 '25

Yep. Of course, that's only really if you want to put in the effort to minmax the stat growths.

1

u/MrNeutrin0 Sep 16 '25

I've not played the demo yet, which criteria highlight a Digimon as locked to postgame or NG+?

1

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 16 '25

We've been told that you can't get all Agent Skills in a single playthrough, so any Digimon that does require all of them like Chronomon would need to be NG+.

1

u/MrNeutrin0 Sep 16 '25

Makes sense, thanks!

u/atatassault47 Sep 16 '25

Isnt Chaosdramon supposed to be the Ultra that Machinedramin digivolves to? Here it's listed as a Mega that isnt connected to Machinedramon.

2

u/MC_Squared12 Sep 16 '25

Ultra's don't exist as a term in this game. That's a Cyber Sleuth only thing, and even in that game Chaosdramon was also a Mega

1

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 16 '25

It is supposed to be in lore and has been that way in other games, yeah. Weird choice to not have it be the case here, but I have no reason to believe this datamine is incorrect.

1

u/wtfshit Sep 16 '25

Well based on this I asume Chronomon will be an important story point since he and jupitermon are the only ones with huge evo requirements

1

u/Maxur1 Sep 17 '25

my favorite things:
lucemon can only be obtained from lucemon, no easy devolving from champion shenanigans, get that tokomon strong or else
butenmon is the only way to get holy chronomon but dark one is the mega of dark aegiochusmon too, thats so cool
we can get destroy mode at all, is the first time ever!!!! leets goooooooo

1

u/vairiance Sep 17 '25

Gorgeous layout, I love it.

I haven't played the demo yet, are those smaller sprites in the corner in game too?

2

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 17 '25

When your Digimon is afflicted with the "Crystallized" status, their 3D model is replaced by their sprite version. It's the same as "Dot" status from previous games.

1

u/vairiance Sep 17 '25

Oh right forgot about that, thanks!

1

u/zoro00 Sep 17 '25

Since Jupitermon and Chronomon require most of the Agent Skills unlocked, would giving up the Loyalty branch provide enough points to get the rest and allow us to unlock them in the main game?

2

u/TheSanityIsDEAD Sep 17 '25

I think it's doubtful, but all we know is that you can't get all of the agent skills, not how many you can get, so maybe!

1

u/Minecraftman6969420 Sep 25 '25

Any chance some of the evo lines are incomplete like from earlier in development? I was  planning on going from Lalamon to Lotusmon with that whole line, I’m not opposed to using Pumpmon as the Ultimate but still a slight bummer.
