Plutomon
Plutomon is the lord of the underworld in Digimon lore, and in Digimon Story: Time Stranger it goes one step further: it leads the Titans as the game’s main villain.

Who is Plutomon
Plutomon is a god-type Digimon who rules the realm of the dead and hunts down criminals and villains who deserve to fall into it. Its name and design come from Pluto, the Roman god of the underworld. That makes it the dark counterpart to the Roman-themed Olympos XII, and its link to Cerberusmon (Cerberumon) fits too, since the hound guards the gates of its domain.
The official Digimon Reference Book says Plutomon shares Jupitermon’s goal of punishing evil. The two have been enemies for a long time anyway, because Jupitermon disapproves of how cruel Plutomon is. Digimon Story: Time Stranger builds on that rivalry. Plutomon leads the Titans against the gods, and later the game’s real puppet master, Chronomon, uses a Chronolixir to turn it into ZombiePlutomon once the Titans have fully compromised Iliad and Plutomon is no longer useful.
Did you know?
According to the official Digimon Reference Book on digimon.net, Plutomon and Jupitermon want the same thing, punishing evil, but they are long-standing enemies because Jupitermon objects to Plutomon’s cruelty.
Evolution line
Plutomon’s evolution routes come from the games and the card game, and each medium handles them differently. The tables below list each one separately, so don’t mix the Time Stranger requirements with Digimon Survive or the Digimon Card Game.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger (2025)
In Time Stranger, Plutomon is Field Guide entry #397. You can reach it from three Ultimate-level Digimon, and it can then go one step further into ZombiePlutomon.
| From | To | Requirements (Time Stranger) |
|---|---|---|
| Cerberusmon | Plutomon | Agent Rank 7+, Max HP 2460+, ATK 2500+, INT 1700+ |
| Cerberusmon Werewolf Mode | Plutomon | Agent Rank 7+, Max HP 2460+, ATK 2500+, INT 1700+ |
| Astamon | Plutomon | Agent Rank 7+, Max HP 2460+, ATK 2500+, INT 1700+ |
| Plutomon | ZombiePlutomon | Agent Rank 7+, ATK 2500+, INT 1900+ |
How to get Plutomon in Digimon Story: Time Stranger
- Raise your Agent Rank to 7.
- Get a Cerberusmon, Cerberusmon Werewolf Mode or Astamon.
- Train it to at least 2460 Max HP, 2500 ATK and 1700 INT.
- Digivolve it into Plutomon.
- Push INT to 1900 or higher if you want ZombiePlutomon.
Tamer tip
Guides report that the stat thresholds drop a little when the base Digimon has the Daring personality and you have unlocked the matching Agent Skill. Pick that personality early and you’ll reach Plutomon sooner.
The jump from Plutomon to ZombiePlutomon only asks for 200 more INT. ATK and Agent Rank stay the same. If you’ve just reached Plutomon with about 1700 INT, a few more training sessions will get you to the zombie form.
Digimon Survive (2022)
Digimon Survive also features Plutomon. Its route there runs through the Labramon line, and Plutomon is that line’s final form.
| From | To | Medium |
|---|---|---|
| Cerberusmon Werewolf Mode | Plutomon | Digimon Survive |
Digimon Card Game
The card game has no named routes. A digivolution needs a matching color, the right level and a memory cost. Plutomon BT4-089 is a purple Level 6 card, so it goes on top of a purple Level 5 Digimon.
| From | To | Condition (card game) |
|---|---|---|
| Purple Level 5 Digimon | Plutomon (BT4-089) | Pay the digivolve cost |
If you’re new to the Digimon TCG, the main thing to know is that the printed color and level matter far more than anime lore when you build these chains.
Signature attacks
The official Digimon Reference Book lists three special moves for Plutomon.
| Attack | What it does (official profile) |
|---|---|
| Haggard Cluster | Fangs on its chest release darkness that absorbs and vaporizes whatever it touches |
| Hell’s Gate | Opens a giant mouth that swallows villains whole and breaks them down into scraps of data |
| Chaos Lights | Its ultimate move, used when its battle rage peaks |
Appearances
Plutomon was created for games and cards. Its major roles are in the titles below.
Games
| Game | Year | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Digimon Crusader | 2013 | Debut |
| Digimon Survive | 2022 | Recruitable via the Labramon line |
| Digimon Story: Time Stranger | 2025 | Titan leader, main antagonist, recruitable (#397) |
The ZombiePlutomon boss fight in Time Stranger
The ZombiePlutomon fight, called Throne of the Underworld, is the Plutomon battle most players search for. ZombiePlutomon is Virus attribute, so Vaccine Digimon hit it hard, and Light attacks deal quadruple damage. Game8 suggests a team level of 40 or higher. It also suggests a multi-target Cross Art such as Cross Art: Burst, so you can clear the minions it summons all at once.
Its normal attacks don’t hit very hard, even on higher difficulties. The danger is the Reaper’s Mist passive. ZombiePlutomon casts Heal and Aura on your party to set up that passive, so treat those “free” buffs as part of its plan rather than a gift.
| Factor | Detail (Time Stranger) |
|---|---|
| Attribute | Virus |
| Best attribute to use | Vaccine |
| Elemental weakness | Light (4x damage) |
| Suggested level | 40+ |
| Watch out for | Summoned minions, Reaper’s Mist passive |

Trivia
- Plutomon’s Time Stranger route through Astamon makes sense. Astamon is a demon lord-type Digimon, which fits a ruler of the dead.
- In Digimon Survive, the friendly-looking Labramon line ends in this underworld god.
- ZombiePlutomon is a story transformation in Time Stranger. You can also build it yourself, using the stat gates in the table above.
FAQ
Is Plutomon part of Olympos 12?
No. The official profile describes Plutomon as Jupitermon’s long-time rival, and Jupitermon leads the Olympos XII. They share the goal of punishing evil, but Jupitermon’s disapproval of Plutomon’s cruelty keeps it out of the twelve. In Time Stranger, it leads the opposing faction, the Titans.
How to get Plutomon in Digimon Time Stranger?
Digivolve a Cerberusmon, Cerberusmon Werewolf Mode or Astamon once you reach Agent Rank 7 and the Digimon has 2460+ Max HP, 2500+ ATK and 1700+ INT. A Daring personality with the matching Agent Skill lowers the stat thresholds slightly.
Is Plutomon a good Digimon?
Yes, for a late-game Virus Mega. Its stat gates are among the steeper Mega requirements in Time Stranger, so it shows up near the end of your run, not mid-story. The downside is that ZombiePlutomon only needs 200 more INT, so many players treat Plutomon as a stepping stone. Keep it if you want the original design. Otherwise, keep training toward the zombie form.
What is Plutomon weak to in Time Stranger?
Its ZombiePlutomon boss form is weak to Vaccine Digimon and takes quadruple damage from Light attacks.
Who turns Plutomon into ZombiePlutomon?
In Time Stranger’s story, Chronomon uses a Chronolixir to turn Plutomon into ZombiePlutomon after the Titans have taken over Iliad.
Your next step: pick up a Cerberusmon early, give it the Daring personality, and start building INT. That one stat decides whether you finish with Plutomon or the ZombiePlutomon that ruled the Throne of the Underworld.
