I'm a huge fan of Digimon Adventure 01 who believe the other seasons are too crappy to be considered cannon. One of the reasons for this staunch standpoint is that while the plot of Season 1 is quite simply awesome, all subsequent seasons are characterized of being improvised and unneccesary sequels. The story could have ended when all evil was eradicated with the death of Apocalymon, but instead they made it reappear in a completely unlikely and senseless way.

Anyway: This page will contain my personal analysis of the fighting abilities of some Digimons, as well as some fan fiction. Hope you'll enjoy it! = Good Digimon (sorted by strenght) =

Patamon
Patamon

Angemon is the Champion form of Patamon, and make his first appearence when Devimon had defeated Greymon, Garurumon, Birdramon, Togemon, Kabuterimon and Ikkakumon. Devimon then attempted to kill T.K., causing Patamon to digivolve into Angemon. Angemon gathered the combined powers of all of the seven DigiDevices, and used his hand of fate on Devimon. Devimon was destroyed by this powerful attack, but this came at a price - Angemon used up all his energy and, as a result, de-Digivolved into a Digi-Egg.

Much later, when  had a square-of with  in the Real World, Angemon intervened when Myotismon was about to kill WereGarurumon with his Crimson Lightning. Myotismon initially made fun of him, but was soon forced to retreat when Angemon inflicted unexpected damage on him with the help of WereGarurumon.

When the real confrontation between Myotismon and the DigiDestined took place, Lillymon, MetalGreymon, WereGarurumon, Zudomon, MegaKabuterimon and Garudamon launched a combined assault on Myotismon, but he did not even suffer minor injuries. Angemon then appeared on the scene and attacked with his hand of fate, causing Myotismon to fall down on his knees in agony and killing Phantomon in the process. Myotismon was destroyed by Angewomon soon thereafter.

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 wiped out all the DigiDestined children and their Digimon and turned them into key chains. Angemon was able to inflict some minor damages on Piedmon, but was inevitably defeated. However, he then finally Digivolved into MagnaAngemon, and easily overwhelmed Piedmon with his Excalibur. Using the Magna Antidote ability, MagnaAngemon restored all the DigiDestined and their Digimon before he finished off Piedmon with his Gate of Destiny. He later played an important role in defeating Apocalymon, taking out one of his deadly claws.

When destroyed numerous Destiny Stones, and after the DigiDestined had failed repeatedly to defeat him, Patamon Digivolved into MagnaAngemon and challenged a yet unbeaten BlackWarGreymon. With his Gate of Destiny, he forcibly expelled BlackWarGreymon to a different corner of the Digital World. Despite having the ability to settle it and kill BlackWarGreymon at the spot, it is believed he decided not to because he was aware that there was actually good in him. He didn't intervene the next time BlackWarGreymon attempted to destroy a Destiny Stone, presumably because he already knew the outcome of that battle - namely, the arrival of Azulongmon, who made BlackWarGreymon rethink his intentions and ultimately leave scene in a melancholic state. MagnaAngemon was the only one who succesfully challenged and defeated BlackWarGreymon singlehandedly.

MagnaAngemon was present during the battle with SkullSatamon, although he took no offensive action. Despite being hit by SkullSatamons extremely powerful Skull Hammer, he neither de-Digivolved nor sustained any injuries at all - unlike all other Digimon present, including Imperialdramon Dragon Mode, who de-Digivolved or froze instantly. He then transferred a portion of his energy to Imperialdramon Dragon Mode, allowing him to unfreeze and change into Imperialdramon Fighter Mode and fire a Positron Laser blast towards SkullSatamon which destroyed him in a single hit.

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.

Imperialdramon Fighter Mode made his first appearance after the defeat of Imperialdramon Dragon Mode at the hands of SkullSatamon.

He was able to do so thanks to the power supplied by his nearby allies, particularly that of MagnaAngemon.

Later, he intervened on WarGreymons side in a major confrontation with BlackWarGreymon. All three of them used their strongest attacks, causing a huge explosion in the skies. Still they could barely take on him, and the battle ended with the exhaustion of BlackWarGreymon and the de-Digivolution of Imperialdramon and WarGreymon. They won with a slim margin.
