Devimon

Before Devimon was a demon, it was an angel. The official Digimon Reference Book says this Champion-level Virus Digimon started out as a shining member of the Angemon species and fell into the Dark Area. This profile covers its lore, its evolution line in each medium, its attacks, its role in the 1999 and 2020 anime, and how to get and digivolve it in Digimon Story: Time Stranger, Digimon World: Next Order and the original Digimon World.

Devimon at a glance

Devimon is the Digital World’s original fallen angel. It is a Champion-level Virus Digimon whose signature move, Death Claw, lets it force its will onto other Digimon. It was the first big villain of Digimon Adventure, and in the newest game it is the hub for five different Ultimates.

Who is Devimon

Devimon is a Fallen Angel Digimon. According to the Digimon Reference Book, it was originally a shining Angemon-species Digimon that fell into the Dark Area, the spatial distortion of the Digital World where corrupted and defeated Digimon end up. The Mark of Evil on its chest is the proof of that fall. Wikimon describes the mark as a bat-shaped symbol shared by a number of other Digimon with dark powers.

Its threat comes from its mind as much as its claws. The canon profiles cast it as a cunning schemer that dominates others, using its crimson eyes and Death Claw as tools of control. Digimon Adventure (1999) shows exactly this when Devimon brainwashes Leomon. A separate Digimon Pendulum profile describes a Devimon that looks the same as the File Island Devimon and uses the same Special Move, but whose lethal potential and power are “remarkably increased.”

Devimon vs Angemon: two sides of one Digimon

Devimon and Angemon are best read as one being in two states, light and dark. The lore says Devimon was once an Angemon-species Digimon, and DemiDevimon’s profile fills in the rest: DemiDevimon tempts Angemon-species Digimon toward the dark side, and that temptation turns them into Devimon.

The anime makes the mirror literal. In Digimon Adventure (1999) the Devimon arc only ends when Patamon, the partner of Takeru (T.K. in the dub), digivolves into Angemon, so two Digimon of the same species meet as holy and fallen opposites. Time Stranger echoes the idea in its systems: Patamon to Angemon is the light branch, DemiDevimon, Impmon or Betamon into Devimon is the dark one, and de-digivolution lets you walk one Digimon down both sides in a single playthrough.

Name and etymology

“Devimon” comes from “devil” plus the usual “-mon” suffix. The Japanese name is the same, romanised as Debimon, so there is no second name to learn, unlike Myotismon (Vamdemon) or DemiDevimon (PicoDevimon). The US release of the original Digital Monster virtual pet renamed it Darkmon, but every current English release, from the anime dubs to Time Stranger and the Digimon Card Game, uses Devimon.

The dub also renamed its attack. Death Claw became “Touch of Evil” in the English version of Digimon Adventure, which is why older fans know the move by both names.

Evolution line

Devimon’s evolution line changes with the medium. In Digimon Story: Time Stranger it comes from DemiDevimon, Impmon or Betamon and goes to Myotismon, LadyDevimon, Infermon, SkullSatamon or Astamon. In the original Digimon World the outcome depends on stats and care, and in Digimon Adventure: (2020) it climbs through NeoDevimon to the Ultimate DoneDevimon.

Anime

The two Adventure series treat Devimon very differently. In the 1999 series it never digivolves on screen and powers up by absorbing Black Gears instead, while the 2020 reboot takes it through NeoDevimon to DoneDevimon.

Series	From	Devimon	To
Digimon Adventure (1999)	No on-screen pre-evolution shown	Devimon, powered up by absorbing Black Gears	No on-screen digivolution; destroyed by Angemon
Digimon Adventure: (2020)	No on-screen pre-evolution shown	Devimon	NeoDevimon, then DoneDevimon (Ultimate) in episode 24

Digimon Story: Time Stranger requirements

Time Stranger has the richest Devimon tree of any game, with three Rookies in and five Ultimates out. This is the master requirement table for the game; the rest of this page refers back to it. Figures come from Nightly Gaming Binge’s Devimon field guide, Deltias Gaming and PCGamesN’s evolution list.

Direction	Digimon	Conditions in Time Stranger
From (Rookie)	DemiDevimon	Agent Rank 3+, 640 Max SP+, 430 SPD+ (Nightly Gaming Binge); Deltias Gaming lists 340 SPD
From (Rookie)	Impmon	Stat gate shown on the in-game digivolution screen
From (Rookie)	Betamon	Stat gate shown on the in-game digivolution screen
To (Ultimate)	Myotismon	Agent Rank 5+, 1650 Max HP, 950 INT
To (Ultimate)	LadyDevimon	Agent Rank 5+, 1290 Max HP, 770 INT, 830 SPD
To (Ultimate)	Infermon	Listed digivolution (PCGamesN)
To (Ultimate)	SkullSatamon	Listed digivolution (PCGamesN)
To (Ultimate)	Astamon	Listed digivolution (PCGamesN)

Digivolution here is non-linear. RPG Site’s breakdown of the system explains that you can de-digivolve to a younger form and send it down a different path, and that requirements tie into both stats and the game’s Personality system.

Other games

Older games use completely different trees, so a route from one game will not carry over to another.

Game	Platforms and years	Digivolves from	Digivolves into
Digimon World	PS1, 1999	Betamon (GameFAQs evolution guides); Almar’s Guides also names Agumon	SkullGreymon, Megadramon; plus the special outcomes Scumon and Vademon

Card game

The Digimon Card Game has no fixed species lines. Any Devimon card digivolves from a Level 3 card that meets the digivolve condition printed on it, and it can become any Level 5 card whose condition it meets. In practice Devimon lives in purple, the game’s dark colour, and the ST-6 Venomous Violet starter is where many players first met it. The full printing list is in the card game section below.

What digivolves into Devimon?

The answer depends on the game. In Time Stranger, DemiDevimon, Impmon and Betamon digivolve into Devimon. In the original Digimon World, Betamon is the documented source. In Digimon World Re:Digitize, Wikimon lists Hagurumon, Patamon and PicoDevimon, and in Next Order Grindosaur lists Wormmon and DemiDevimon, with the Magusalaite item turning a Rookie straight into Devimon.

DemiDevimon belongs to the Devimon line as much as any Digimon does. Its profile describes it as the tempter that drags Angemon-species Digimon into darkness, which is how Devimon is made, and it is a direct pre-evolution of Devimon in Time Stranger, Next Order and Re:Digitize. The confusion comes from the 1999 anime, where DemiDevimon serves Myotismon instead of Devimon.

Who does Devimon evolve into?

In Digimon Story: Time Stranger, Devimon digivolves into Myotismon, LadyDevimon, Infermon, SkullSatamon or Astamon. In the original Digimon World the outcome depends on stats and care, and in Digimon Adventure: (2020) Devimon evolves into NeoDevimon and then DoneDevimon.

Myotismon is a real Devimon Ultimate in Time Stranger, with requirements in the master table above. The two are linked in the anime too: in Digimon Adventure (1999), Devimon’s dying words warn of a stronger evil, and Myotismon (Vamdemon) later arrives with DemiDevimon at his side.

Can Devimon become LadyDevimon?

Yes. In Digimon Story: Time Stranger, Devimon digivolves into LadyDevimon at Agent Rank 5 with the HP, INT and SPD totals in the master table. One caution: another guide attaches the same three numbers to the next step, LadyDevimon to Lilithmon, so treat them as a strong target and confirm them on your own digivolution screen.

LadyDevimon matters because it leads to Lilithmon, one of the Seven Great Demon Lords. A popular fan route is “PicoDevimon → Witchmon → LadyDevimon → Lilithmon”, where PicoDevimon is simply the Japanese name for DemiDevimon. The best-documented route in Time Stranger runs DemiDevimon → Devimon → LadyDevimon → Lilithmon.

Is NeoDevimon Devimon’s Ultimate?

Only in some media. NeoDevimon is a Virus-attribute Ultimate that debuted in the V-Tamer manga, and Wikimon lists Angemon as the Digimon it evolves from, which makes it a parallel fallen angel to Devimon in the standard profile data rather than its next stage.

Digimon Adventure: (2020) rewrites that. There, Devimon’s arc climbs through NeoDevimon to the Ultimate DoneDevimon. NeoDevimon is not among Devimon’s Ultimates in Time Stranger, and in the card game it has its own purple card, EX6-051 in EX-06 Infernal Ascension.

Best Devimon evolution

For most Time Stranger players, LadyDevimon is the best Devimon evolution because it is the documented gateway to Lilithmon. Myotismon is the better pick if you want the iconic anime villain and your Digimon already leans on HP and INT. The verdict weighs three things: what the Ultimate leads to, how much stat work the documented requirements ask for, and how much the Digimon means to fans.

Ultimate	Build it rewards	Canon identity	Best for
LadyDevimon	Fast INT build with an SPD gate	Female fallen-angel Ultimate	Players heading for Lilithmon
Myotismon (Vamdemon)	Bulky HP and INT build, no SPD gate listed	Second big villain of Digimon Adventure (1999)	Fans of the anime and tanky casters
Infermon	Listed route, no published stat gate	Middle stage of the Diaboromon line from Our War Game!	Players steering toward the Diaboromon family
SkullSatamon	Listed route, no published stat gate	Skeletal dark Ultimate	Keeping the team on the Fallen Angel theme
Astamon	Listed route, no published stat gate	Gun-toting, mafia-style demon	A stylish dark Ultimate off the beaten path

The case against LadyDevimon is the data. The Myotismon and LadyDevimon numbers each come from one detailed guide, and the LadyDevimon figures appear on a different step in another guide. If your stats already favour HP and INT, Myotismon is the faster and safer target, and de-digivolution means you can still route toward LadyDevimon later.

How to get Devimon in every major game

The quickest route in Digimon Story: Time Stranger is DemiDevimon at Agent Rank 3, using the gates in the master table. In Digimon World: Next Order, a Magusalaite item skips the stat grind entirely. In the original Digimon World, you raise a Betamon and meet three of the four requirement categories.

Game	Comes from	Requirements to reach Devimon	Source note
Digimon Story: Time Stranger	DemiDevimon, Impmon, Betamon	See the master table; DemiDevimon’s gate is the best documented	Nightly Gaming Binge and Deltias Gaming split on SPD
Digimon World: Next Order	Wormmon, DemiDevimon	MP ≥2400, STR ≥400, WIS ≥200; or use Magusalaite	Grindosaur’s thresholds; confirm in game
Digimon World (PS1)	Betamon	Meet 3 of 4 categories: Stats, Weight, Care Mistakes, Bonus Criteria	Almar’s Guides explains the 3-of-4 rule

Digimon Story: Time Stranger

Time Stranger is the game most players are asking about right now, and Devimon is easy to reach early. DemiDevimon is the best-documented of the three Rookie sources: the guides agree on Agent Rank 3 and 640 Max SP, and split only on SPD.

If Devimon still will not appear, the guide disagreement is the usual culprit. An SPD somewhere between 340 and 430 may sit under the real threshold. After that, check the other two gates, because a missing Agent Rank is easy to overlook when you are staring at stats. RPG Site’s explanation of the system adds Personality to the mix, so if every number looks right, the digivolution screen will show exactly which condition is still unmet.

Once you have Devimon, it fits the game’s mechanics neatly. Death Claw is a Dark physical attack in Time Stranger, Devimon resists Dark, and its Virus attribute follows the general type chart: strong against Data, weak against Vaccine.

Digimon World: Next Order

Next Order gives you a shortcut. The Digivolution item Magusalaite instantly turns a Rookie into Devimon, so you skip the stat and care grind altogether. That is the cleanest option when Devimon is only a stepping stone in a longer plan.

The game first launched on PS Vita in Japan in March 2016, reached the West on PS4 in January 2017, and arrived on Nintendo Switch and PC on February 22, 2023, with a new Beginner Mode in the port. If you would rather digivolve Devimon the normal way, Grindosaur lists Wormmon and DemiDevimon as sources, with core thresholds of MP ≥2400, STR ≥400 and WIS ≥200. Next Order can be strict about the secondary conditions, so confirm the rest in the game.

How to digivolve to Devimon in Digimon World 1

In the original Digimon World on PS1, Betamon is the documented route to Devimon. The game checks four categories (Stats, Weight, Care Mistakes and Bonus Criteria), and as Almar’s Guides explains, meeting three of the four is enough. Almar’s Guides also names Agumon as a source.

That rule is more forgiving than it sounds. A Betamon with a few care mistakes can still become Devimon as long as its stats, weight and bonus criterion are right. The care-mistake counter resets at each digivolution, so only mistakes made as a Rookie count.

From there, Devimon has four possible outcomes, according to Wikimon’s Digimon World entry, decided by stats and care:

Ultimate	How it happens in Digimon World (PS1)
SkullGreymon	Standard digivolution from Devimon
Megadramon	Standard digivolution; Megadramon can also come from Tyrannomon, Airdramon and Seadramon
Scumon	Special outcome when the poop gauge is full
Vademon	Special outcome with a 50% chance when scolded at 15 days old

Signature attacks

Devimon’s signature move is Death Claw, called Touch of Evil in the English dub of Digimon Adventure. According to the canon profile, Devimon stretches its extensible arms and forces its will onto the opponent’s body, so the move is as much mind control as physical strike.

Attack	Medium	What it does
Death Claw	Canon profile	Stretches its extensible arms and forces its will onto the opponent’s body
Touch of Evil	English dub of Digimon Adventure (1999)	Dub name for Death Claw
Death Claw	Digimon Story: Time Stranger	Dark-element physical attack

Death Claw in the anime

The anime leans into the mind-control side. In Digimon Adventure (1999), Devimon uses Death Claw to brainwash Leomon, and TV Tropes’ episode recaps note that Leomon stays under Devimon’s control for most of the rest of the arc. A noble ally turned against the children is the clearest example of why the move is scarier than a simple slash.

Death Claw in Time Stranger

In Time Stranger, Death Claw deals Dark physical damage while Devimon itself resists Dark. That pairing makes Devimon comfortable against dark-element enemies, since it hits them with Dark and takes less back. Add the Virus edge on Data targets, and a Data-attribute enemy that also attacks with Dark moves is one of Devimon’s best matchups.

Appearances

Devimon has appeared across the franchise for almost 30 years. It started on the 1997 Digital Monster Ver. 1 virtual pet, led the first arc of Digimon Adventure (1999), returned in Digimon Adventure: (2020), and shows up in the Digimon World and Digimon Story games and in Digimon Card Game sets through 2026.

Virtual pets

Devimon’s story starts on the Digital Monster Ver. 1 V-pet in 1997, where it debuted as a Champion. The Digimon Pendulum line gave it a second profile, describing a Devimon that looks like the File Island villain but is far more dangerous, and it returned on the Digimon Pendulum Ver.20th anniversary device. On the Digital Monster Color reissue, fan guides note that Devimon requires 3 or fewer care mistakes, the same strict-care gate the original V-pet used.

Digimon Adventure (1999)

Devimon is the first major villain of the first Digimon anime. It runs the File Island arc from the shadows, spreading Black Gears that corrupt Digimon, and is unmasked in episode 8 (“Evil Shows His Face” in the English dub; the Japanese debut title is “The Messenger of Darkness, Devimon!”). Then it tears File Island apart to scatter the DigiDestined.

The arc ends in episode 13, “Angemon Awakens!” (Japanese title “Enjemon Kakusei!”). Devimon absorbs a huge number of Black Gears, swells in size and power, and seems unstoppable until Patamon digivolves into Angemon for the first time. The other children’s Digivices pour their power into Angemon, who spends nearly all of his energy to destroy Devimon and reverts to a DigiEgg.

With the Black Gears gone, File Island pulls itself back together. Devimon’s last words, though, warn that a stronger evil waits beyond the island, a line that sets up Etemon and then Myotismon. For a generation of fans, this was the moment Digimon showed that winning could cost you your partner, at least for a while.

Digimon Adventure: (2020)

The 2020 reboot rebuilds the Devimon arc on a bigger scale. In episode 23, “The Messenger of Darkness, Devimon,” Devimon controls miasma to overpower MetalGreymon and WereGarurumon. By the finale it has become NeoDevimon, and in episode 24, “The Final Stage, DoneDevimon,” which aired on November 15, 2020, NeoDevimon evolves into the Ultimate DoneDevimon.

In that last fight Yamato’s WereGarurumon attacks DoneDevimon and falls, and DoneDevimon engulfs Taichi. Takeru and Patamon sit at the centre of the resolution, keeping the angel-versus-fallen-angel theme from 1999 alive. Episode 25, “Dive to the Next Ocean,” opens the next arc. To catch up on either version, see the guide to where to watch Digimon on Crunchyroll, Hulu, Netflix and Blu-ray.

1999 vs 2020: which Devimon arc is better?

The 1999 arc is the better story; the 2020 arc is the bigger spectacle. The original spends six episodes building dread through Leomon’s brainwashing, a shattered island and Angemon’s sacrifice, while the reboot compresses things and rewards you with a Devimon line that reaches DoneDevimon on screen.

Critics were split on the reboot’s finale. Anime News Network’s reviewer doubted that even a strong episode like 24 would change viewers’ minds about the series, while other reviewers called it one of the reboot’s best episodes but rushed. First-timers should start with 1999, then treat 2020 as a remix.

Series	Devimon episodes	How the arc ends	Highlight
Digimon Adventure (1999)	Revealed in episode 8; defeated in episode 13	Angemon destroys Devimon and reverts to a DigiEgg	Leomon’s brainwashing and Angemon’s sacrifice

Digimon Card Game

Devimon has several printings in the Digimon Card Game, from the ST-6 Venomous Violet starter to the 2026 booster BT-26 Timeless Bonds. BT-26 had its pre-release on August 28, 2026, released on September 4, 2026, and contains 108 card types, with Devimon as card BT26-068.

Card number	Set	Rarity and printings	Who it suits
ST6-08	ST-6 Venomous Violet (starter deck)	Starter printing, reprinted as Official Tournament Pack Vol. 7, Judge Pack 1, 2021 online championship and 2022 Illustration Competition promos	New players building a first purple deck
BT11-080	BT-11 Dimensional Phase	Uncommon	Purple decks built around BT-11 era cards
EX10-046	EX-10 Sinister Order	Extra booster printing	Collectors and Sinister Order themed builds
BT26-068	BT-26 Timeless Bonds (2026)	Common; newest Devimon printing	Purple decks built around the current set, alongside BT-26’s DemiDevimon
EX6-051 (NeoDevimon)	EX-06 Infernal Ascension	Related Ultimate	Purple fallen-angel themed decks

The verdict: a casual purple deck is easiest to fill with ST6-08, because its many promo reprints keep it cheap and plentiful, while BT26-068 is the printing to slot beside the rest of Timeless Bonds. Each Devimon card carries its own costs, DP and effect text, so read the official BT-26 card list and the official card database before building a competitive list. If you are new to the hobby, the explainer on how the Digimon Card Game works and why people play it covers digivolve costs and colours.

Why is Devimon so strong?

Devimon is strong because canon stacks three advantages: a cunning, manipulative intellect, the power to control other Digimon through Death Claw and its crimson eyes, and a body forged by its fall into the Dark Area. The Pendulum profile goes further, describing a Devimon whose lethal potential and power are “remarkably increased.”

Intellect and control

Most Champions are muscle; Devimon is a strategist. In Digimon Adventure (1999) it barely fights until the very end. It brainwashes Leomon, corrupts Digimon with Black Gears and splits File Island apart, winning by turning the world against the children instead of overpowering them.

A fallen angel’s power

The Dark Area origin matters as well. Because Devimon began as an Angemon-species Digimon, its power started on the holy side before corruption took it. Only Angemon, its light mirror, could end it in the 1999 anime, and only by burning almost all of its own energy.

The first boss effect

On paper Devimon is a Champion like Greymon or Garurumon. It feels far stronger because it was the first villain many fans ever saw in Digimon, and its arc ended with a partner Digimon apparently dying on screen. Stories that treat a Champion as an end-of-the-world threat build reputations that stats never could.

Is Devimon a good Digimon?

In battle, yes. Devimon is a solid Champion and an excellent bridge to strong Ultimates: in Time Stranger its Virus attribute beats Data, it resists Dark, and Death Claw fits a dark-themed team. Its real value is flexibility, with five Ultimate options including Myotismon and LadyDevimon.

Strengths and weaknesses

Factor	Effect in play
Virus attribute	Beats Data in the general type chart, so a large share of enemies take extra damage
Dark resistance (Time Stranger)	Takes less damage from the game’s many dark-element enemies
Five Ultimate branches (Time Stranger)	One Devimon can serve many end goals, from Myotismon to the Lilithmon route
Vaccine weakness	Holy and knightly Vaccine enemies hit it hard
Stat-heavy Ultimates	Myotismon and LadyDevimon both need Agent Rank 5 plus large HP and INT totals, so Devimon may sit on your bench for a while

Beginner vs experienced Tamers

Beginners get an easy first dark Champion: DemiDevimon reaches Devimon at Agent Rank 3, and the matchups are simple to read. Experienced players treat Devimon as a planned stepping stone, building INT and SPD from the Rookie stage so it flows straight into LadyDevimon and on to Lilithmon without a long stall.

Trivia

Devimon has picked up a lot of lore across almost 30 years of V-pets, anime, manga and games. These are the details that surprise fans most.

• It started as an angel. The Digimon Reference Book says Devimon was originally a shining Angemon-species Digimon that fell into the Dark Area.
• The Mark of Evil is shared. Wikimon describes the bat-shaped mark as a symbol found on a number of Digimon with dark powers.
• The Pendulum profile borrows the anime. It directly compares its Devimon to “the Devimon of File Island,” pulling the anime’s setting into a V-pet description.
• Its last words set up a whole series. In Digimon Adventure (1999), Devimon warns that a stronger evil lies beyond File Island.
• NeoDevimon is a manga original. NeoDevimon debuted in the V-Tamer manga, and its standard profile links it to Angemon, not Devimon.
• Bad care has consequences. In the original Digimon World, a Devimon with a full poop gauge can become Scumon instead of a proper Ultimate.

FAQ

What episode does Devimon die in Digimon Adventure?

Episode 13 of Digimon Adventure (1999), “Angemon Awakens!” (“Enjemon Kakusei!”). Angemon destroys Devimon and reverts to a DigiEgg. In the 2020 reboot, the Devimon arc ends in episode 24, “The Final Stage, DoneDevimon.”

Why was Devimon called Darkmon?

Darkmon was the name on the US release of the original Digital Monster virtual pet. The anime dub and every current English release use Devimon, which matches the Japanese name.

Are IceDevimon and MarineDevimon evolutions of Devimon?

No. They are separate dark Ultimate species with their own profiles. They share the “Devimon” name and the demonic design theme, but neither appears among Devimon’s documented Ultimates in Time Stranger or the original Digimon World.

Can you get Devimon in Digimon World Re:Digitize?

Yes. Wikimon lists Hagurumon, Patamon and PicoDevimon (DemiDevimon) as its sources in Re:Digitize, which released on PSP in 2012. Patamon is a neat nod to the Angemon lore.

What should you do first with Devimon in Time Stranger?

Pick your Ultimate before you start training. Build INT and SPD toward LadyDevimon if Lilithmon is the goal, or stack HP and INT for Myotismon if you want the classic anime villain. An INT-first plan keeps both doors open until Agent Rank 5, and de-digivolution means no choice is permanent.
