Pulsemon is a Beastkin Digimon. It is a Digimon that digivolved under the influence of heartbeat waveform data stored in hospitals and gyms. It has a lively personality in that it treats anyone without discrimination. Pulsemon's characteristic fringe is linked to its emotions, and droops when it feels down. It is a cunning fighter who battles by capitalizing on its natural agility, and moving around in the shape of a lightning bolt. In addition, many Digimon that are influenced by the vital data of others like Pulsemon, improving their physical abilities and digivolving, have been discovered.

Attacks

Design

Pulsemon resembles a small bright chartreuse and black striped animal similar to a Hedgehog with quills at the back of its head, a white muzzle shaped mouth, a black lightning marking on its head, back and arms, lime green eyes, a yellow and white, lightning shaped fringe which moves depending on its mood, a small bit of emerald green fur on his chest, with yellow fur surrounding it, three fingers with claws on each end, a black lightning shaped tail with an emerald green end and it wears on black and green shoes with claws on the ends of them.

In Digimon Dreamers, Pulsemon's claws are black.

Etymologies

Pulsemon (パルスモン)

Official romanization given by the Digimon Reference Book and used in the franchise.

• (En:) Pulse, from electromagnetic pulse and heart pulse

Development

During development, Pulsemon went through design changes. Originally, the green parts were pink, the black markings on its head covered most of its forehead, its arms and legs were segmented, and the claws on its hands and shoes were pink.

Pulsemon was designed by Fumiya Kobayashi. It was designed to be a mascot that matches the image of sportiness, wearbility, as well as having a "wow factor" in its digivolutions. As the Vital Bracelet Digital Monster is a sports themed device, it was created with the image of a boy who loves to play sports. To emphasise its connection with humans, he added a heart and wave-like shapes over its body to symbolize vital signs. The shoes were added to give the image of an active boy as well to have people wondering what kind of digivolutions it would have due to the shoes it was wearing, hoping that players would have fun imagining what it could digivolve to.

Fiction

Vital Bracelet Digital Monster

Pulsemon digivolves from Bibimon and can digivolve to Bulkmon, Exermon, Runnermon, and Namakemon.

Digimon Seekers ~The Crossroad Witch~

At some point, a Pulsemon was one of the countless Digimon captured and kept prisoner inside cages by WaruMonzaemon at the Crossroads Fortress. When Shuu Yulin and Ryudamon travel there looking for BlackAgumon, they see all the caged up Digimon. Ryudamon fights WaruMonzaemon, with all of its Iai Blade attacks missing WaruMonzaemon. This was intentional though, as Ryudamon wasn't aiming for WaruMonazemon — it was aiming for the cages, with this freeing all of the captive Digimon. When WaruMonzaemon was about to kill Ryudamon, most of the freed Digimon confront it and say to let Ryudamon go. WaruMonzaemon beats all of them up, though this just causes Ryudamon to warp digivolve to Hisyaryumon and kill WaruMonzaemon. The former prisoners then thank their heroes as they leave.
