Espimon is a Cyborg Digimon. It is a Digimon that immediately flies in to investigate whenever it catches wind of gossip and suspicion flowing into the Digital World. It will bravely infiltrate places in order to find out the truth, even if they are inhabited by dangerous Digimon. When it switches its eyes to Search Mode, it is able to clearly see objects several kilometres away. It is said that the Crack Team tests its cracking ability by controlling Espimon, though the veracity of this rumor is unknown.[2]
Attacks
- Mot Bomb: Fires a self-propulsive automatically-detonating explosive that it can use as a decoy if the circumstances require it. In Digimon Dreamers, the explosive resembles Botamon. In the Digimon Card Game, they resemble mice.
- Divanish: Presses the switch on its stomach to enable camouflage completely blending into its surroundings so it can avoid detection and do reconnaissance.

Fiction[]
Digimon Ghost Game[]
Digimon Dreamers[]
An Epsimon hears rumours about a Digimon in Cypress Village who could only digivolve certain parts of its body and had come to find out more information about this unusual phenomenon so that it could sell that information to Vademon for lots of money. When it goes there to spy, Pulsemon says it feels like they're being watched recently and begins eating meat. Amazed at the meat, drooling Espimon accidentally reveals itself — the villagers having no clue where it had come from. Pulsemon assumes it had come to steal their meat, though Bokomon tells them that probably isn't the case she its a spy Digimon. Ritsu Kodo asks if it's the reason Pulsemon had felt like they were being watched and though Espimon denies its face says otherwise. Ritsu warns the group to be careful since they now know they're being spied on, though Epsimon tells it it will tell it anything it wants and starts telling it all about itself. Ritsu, finding this weird, asks Espimon if it's actually a paparazzi instead of a spy though it denies being one and insists it's a spy that looks for rumours and suspicious information. Having heard why it had come, Pulsemon decides it would go and sell the information to Vademon itself, with Espimon falling into despair at the fact that if it does that wont be able to do so itself. Refusing to allow that to happen, Epsimon decides it will defeat Pulsemon so that it can sell it as research material. They are able to avoid each other's attacks and praise each other, with Pulsemon telling Espimon it should put his talents to more than just being a journalist — Espimon annoyed as its a spy not a journalist. Steal Pulsemon! Epismon uses its Divanish technique to turn invisible, and though Pulsemon tries to sense its presence it's no use and Espimon is able to land multiple unanswered attacks. Espimon attacks randomly, but on top of being invisible Epsimon is too fast for any of the random attacks to hit it. With Pulsemon unable to do anything and it taking hit after hit, Ritsu wonders what he can do to help and decides to pull out some meat. Pulsemon becomes excited to eat meat cooked by Ritsu but is disappointed when Ritsu says that isn't the plan. He reminds everyone how Espimon had revealed itself because of the meat before and figures if they cook some it'd reveal itself once again. Though it doesn't become visible again, it's unable to stop itself from drooling over the meat with the drool being visible. Pulsemon digivolves its head to Bulkmon and proceeds to easily defeat Espimon. Having learned what Pulsemon's ability was, Espimon decides that Vademon would have no interest in such information which leads to Ritsu asking if it knows anything about the village's curse. Though it knows nothing about it itself, it suggests they should go to Witchelny to learn about curses. After telling them about what Witchnely is, Pulsemon decides they should go on an adventure there. Patamon tries to get more information about Witchenly from Espimon but it is too busy talking about how it will sell information about the town's meat to listen. Spy Digimon Espimon
