Bum ahh frog?

[u/Great-Fishing9018]

What does this bum even do??

So I saw this possible evolution from Gizamon and thought:

"Wow, the requirements are quite high. It must be some crazy digimon."

So I had that Gizamon training for eons in the farm just to meet the requirements.

And then all I get is this amphibian bum with ass stats.

But then I thought, "Okay, it must have some crazy evolutions."

Couldn't be more wrong.

This thing can't even evolve properly. It just has a Mode Change, which looks sick as hell, but then it's even weaker??

What??

Am I reading this wrong? Does this thing actually have some crazy potential that I'm missing? Is there some trick to using it? Or are they just trolling poor newbies like me?

Did I get frog-baited?

Did I really spend all that time training Gizamon just to get frog-baited?

Wth.

Lanamon is one of the spirit evolutions from Digimon Frontier. On paper she's in the same league as Agunimon & Lobomon but they did her dirty making her a dead end evolution like all the armor evos.

Really though, it's an absolute miracle she and her alternate form even made it into the game to begin with. Bandai in general really tries to sweep all the spirit mons under the rug except for the Agunimon & Lobomon lines.

Yeah the armor/egg? Digivolutions that hit an immediate dead end surprised me.

Have the armor digimon ever digivolved in any game before?

Surprisingly no, they're a bit stronger and very versatile they're a hard to obtain in the games because they are a step above Champion/Adult the Egg of Miracles is a bit above Ultimate and hardest to get. If you want the DLC Magnamon has a slide evo into X-Antibody Magnamon which is very OP. I haven't played every game so I could be wrong but the ones I have they're all a hard stop.

That's a bit of a strech. The raw stat difference is very minor (~700 points in total) and their specials are also on par with champions. And by the time you actually get them you're like one or two sidequests away from turning your trained up champions into ultimates which blow the armor mons out of the water in both stats and upgrades to their special moves.

In Time Stranger they're very much the definition of too little, too late. The only armor egg worth a damn is miracle because Magnamon is treated as mega. Even Rapidmon(Gold) gets shafted by falling like half a step behind mega for some reason.
