I'm an ex-troll (yes, I am...) and a huge fan of Digimon Adventure 01, who believe the continuation of the story was nothing but a disgrace with all of its plot holes and unrealistic character developments. In my mind, the story ends with the conclusion of Adventure 01, and that's all there is.

Anyway: This page contains my personal analysis of the fighting abilities of some of my favorite Digimon. You will find some interesting stuff on the bottom of this page, which I bet you will like. Hope you'll enjoy your stay on my user page!

= The main protagonists =

Patamon
Patamon

Angemon is the Champion form of Patamon, and appeared for the first time during the final fight against. 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 order to defeat Devimon, Angemon used all his power and thus sacrificed himself. He was reborn as a Digi-Egg, eventually hatching to become Patamon again.

Angemon reappeared in the Real World during the battle between and, in which he forced the former to retreat in a seeming moment of victory when he joined the battle.

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) and (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 and  although he was able to hold off Piedmon for a few minutes.

Attacks
 * Hand of Fate: Angemon fires a beam of sacred energy from his fist.
 * Angel Rod: A strike using the staff he carries.
 * Angel Staff: Spins his staff to block incoming attacks.



MagnaAngemon is Patamon's Ultimate form, and appeared when Piedmon, the last of the Dark Masters, had turned almost all the DigiDestined children and their Digimon into key chains. After seeing T.K.'s willingness to never give up, Angemon finally digivolved into MagnaAngemon and easily overwhelmed Piedmon. Using the Magna Antidote ability, MagnaAngemon restored all the DigiDestined and their Digimon before finishing off Piedmon and his Vilemon army with his Gate of Destiny attack. He later took part in the battle with Apocalymon, taking out one of his deadly claws.

MagnaAngemon possesses enough power to fight on par with Mega Digimon, and is by far the strongest Digimon in Digimon Adventure with the exception of Apocalymon.

Attacks
 * Gate of Destiny: A large portal that sucks in the enemy Digimon, either destroying them or forcibly transporting them away from the battle scene, taking their powers away in the process.
 * Magna Antidote: A unique all-purpose healing ability.
 * Excalibur: As the holder of the most powerful sword that exists, MagnaAngemon is able to destroy his enemies in a single, powerful strike.

Agumon
Agumon

Greymon is Agumon's Champion form, and made his first appearance when Shellmon attacked Tai, being the first Digimon of the DigiDestined to do so. From there on and until the final battle with Devimon, he participated in two major battles: One against Andromon, where he and Garurumon were beaten and only prevailed after the intervention of Kabuterimon; and one against Unimon, where he and Birdramon tried to defend the DigiDestined, but were overrun and was barely saved by Ikkakumon. He also fought Mojyamon, who he defeated with his Nova Blast. In all three instances, the enemy was under control of black gears.

When facing Devimon in a final confrontation, Greymon took part in a joint attack which also involved Garurumon, Birdramon, Togemon, Kabuterimon and Ikkakumon. However, they were badly beaten and were about to be destroyed when Patamon intervened.

On the continent of Server, Greymon dark digivolved to SkullGreymon after he had lost in a fight with another Greymon and Tai had put much pressure on him. He also fought two Devidramons together with the others at the gate between the different worlds, where he didn't stand a chance but digivolved in the midst of the battle. He briefly fought Phantomon in the Real World, but was soon forced to retreat. His last major battle was against MetalSeadramon, where he and the others suffered a predictable defeat due to the fact that they engaged a Mega.

Greymon does not fare so well in battle, and never achieved anything remarkable. However, the great potential he has with his ability to become a Mega outweighs this by a ton.

Attacks
 * Nova Blast: Fires a giant blast of fire from his mouth to incinerate his enemies.



MetalGreymon is Agumon's Ultimate form, and first Digivolved to battle. Despite his opponent being powered by a Dark Network, MetalGreymon destroyed him with his Giga Blaster.

When ShogunGekomon went on rampage when he was wakened up from his deep sleep, MetalGreymon fought and defeated him together with Togemon and Ikkakumon. He also easily defeated two Devidramons at the gate between the two worlds, and fought a successful battle against SkullMeramon.

When fighting Myotismon in a last, large-scale confrontation, he and the five other Ultimates at that time launched a combined assault, but were all repelled with ease. Myotismon then used his Grizzly Wings, severely mauling all six Ultimates. Luckily, MetalGreymon and the others could still contribute to the fight by giving their energy to Angewomon, who ultimately defeated Myotismon.

MetalGreymon also participated in a brief fight between the DigiDestined and Machinedramon, where they were all easily beaten and de-digivolved despite their numerical advantage. This marked the point where he was no longer usefull in battle, and his main fighting form would from then on be WarGreymon.

Attacks
 * Giga Blaster: Fires two fish-shaped missiles from his chest.
 * Mega Claw: Shoots his "Trident Arm" to slash, stab, or wrap up enemies.



WarGreymon is Agumon's Mega form and is, together with MetalGarurumon, the result of a prophecy leading to 's defeat. It was a hard-fought battle, but the two Megas prevalied with the help of the digivices. WarGreymon defeated two of the Dark Masters, using his Dramon Destroyer to rip apart from within and later to slice  in pieces. He also clashed with MetalGarurumon, but the dispute was eventually solved peacefully.

WarGreymon came short when fighting Piedmon, despite MetalGarurumon fighting on his side, and they were both defeated and turned into keychains. They were eventually restored by MagnaAngemon, and took part in finally defeating Piedmon soon thereafter. WarGreymon also played a key role in defeating Apocalymon, attacking his main body together with MetalGarurumon after the others had destroyed his claws.

WarGreymon is a formidable fighter, and has an impressive advantage against Dramon Digimons. However, when faced by foes who possess powers which goes beyond brute force, he may come short if they are very strong, which was the case with Piedmon.

Attacks
 * Terra Destroyer: Gathers all of the energy within the atmosphere and concentrates it into one spot, then fires it as a super-dense, high-temperature fireball energy shot.
 * Terra Force: Spins at tremendous speed like a tornado and launches himself at the enemy.
 * Brave Shield: Uses his "Brave Shield" to defend.
 * Dramon Destroyer: Slashes his "Dramon Destroyer" gauntlets.

Gabumon
Gabumon

Garurumon is Gabumon's Champion form, and emerged for the first time in order to save Matt from Seadramon. Between that point and the final confrontation with Devimon, he took part in two battles: One against Andromon in Factorial Town, where he was beaten despite being aided by Greymon and barely rescued by Kabuterimon. He also fought Mojyamon, although Greymon bore the brunt of that battle.

When facing Devimon at the foot of Infinity Mountain, Garurumon attacked together with Greymon Garurumon, Birdramon, Togemon, Kabuterimon and Ikkakumon. Despite their numerical advantage, they were easily beaten by the powerful Devimon and were about to be destroyed when Angemon stepped in.

Later, when the DigiDestined had reached the continent of Server, Garurumon, Birdramon and Kabuterimon tried to stop SkullGreymon from going berserk, but SkullGreymon easily defeated them all. Fortunately, he soon de-Digivolved without a fight after using up all his energy.

Attacks
 * Howling Blaster: Spews high-temperature blue flames from his mouth.

WereGarurumon made his first appearance when Digitamamon threathened Matt, defeating him and chasing away his ally, Vegiemon. Later on, in the real world, Gabumon digivolved to WereGarurumon in order to save Matt and T.K. from Myotismon. He proved to be no match for the powerful Myotismon, who nearly killed WereGarurumon before Angemon intervened and saved his life. Myotismon was soon forced to retreat. WereGarurumon also took part in beating Tuskmon and Snimon.

In the final showdown with Myotismon, MetalGarurumon's participation was very limited since he was beaten and thrown off a roof in the very beginning of the battle. Fortunately, he could nevertheless contribute to the defeat of Myotismon by giving his energy to Angewomon.

WereGarurumon is able to move very quickly, but his fighting abilities are entirely focused on close combat and physical contact. Thus, he is easily beaten when faced by enemies with firepower or supernatural powers.

Attacks
 * Wolf Claw: Slashes with his powerful claws, leaving red shockwaves.
 * Garuru Kick: Kicks in a full circle, unleashing a shockwave.

MetalGarurumon is the Mega form of Gabumon and formed the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy where he together with WarGreymon defeated VenomMyotismon. Soon thereafter, he and WarGreymon had their first skirmish with Piedmon, in which they were both easily defeated.

Later, when Matt decided to challenge Tai's position as the leader of the group, he fought an indecisive battle with WarGreymon which was eventually halted by Gennai. Soon after solving the conflict and settling the disagreements within the group, MetalGarurumon defeated Puppetmon, the second of the four Dark Masters, with his Metal Wolf Snout.

Later, MetalGarurumon intervened when Piedmon had nearly killed WarGreymon. He healed WarGreymons wounds and joined the fight, but both of them were quickly defeated and turned into keychains. When they were brought back by MagnaAngemon, he participated in the final battle against Piedmon and contributed to his defeat.

In the great battle between the DigiDestined and Apocalymon, MetalGarurumon and WarGreymon played key roles in destroying their strongest opponent ever, attacking his main body after their allies had neutralized his powerful claws.

MetalGarurumon is a very powerful Digimon, and his strenght is more or less equivalent to that of WarGreymon, his closest friend and ally. The two of them form an excellent partnership in battle, and worked as a triumph cards until the fight with Piedmon, where they finally faced the wall.

Attacks
 * Metal Wolf Claw: Spews a cold wave at absolute zero which completely freezes everything, and brings the victim's vital functions to a screeching halt.
 * Ice Wolf Claw: Launches freezing missiles from all of the weapons hidden throughout his body.
 * Giga Missile: Fires a freezing missile from his chest.
 * Metal Wolf Snout: Fires four energy beams from the four laser sites on his snout.

List of battles fought in Digimon Adventure 01

 * Turning points are marked in bold
 * Note: "Complicated" usually means that the DigiDestined came out victorious, but not by overpowering their enemies. One example of this is their battle with Andromon in Episode 5, which the DigiDestined can be said to have won by freeing him from a Black Gear, but in which they cannot claim to have defeated Andromon (who clearly had the upper hand until the very end of the battle).
 * Also note: "Destroyed" doesn't necessarily mean "killed"...
