Digimon 2024 tier list

Like last year, I'm doing a tier list of how much I like each new Digimon released this year. My tiers will be A for Digimon I really like, B for Digimon I like but not as much, and C for Digimon I'm not enthusiastic about. There will also be one S-tier for my favorite of the year and one D-tier for my least favorite of the year. Also I covered Tlalocmon last year, so see that post for my thoughts and I'm not covering the Monster Hunter tie-in mons since they're not in the reference book.

Digimon Liberator has given us a flood of new Digimon so let's start with the mascot's line. Yolkmon, Fluffymon, Pteromon, Galemon, GrandGalemon, and Zephagamon. Yolkmon is my new favorite baby Digimon. A living egg yolk with an eggshell hat is brilliant and adorable. Fluffymon is also a good design. I find it hard to get invested in a lot of the baby Digimon because they're usually just bouncing heads, so having these two stick out of the pack is great. I'll give Yolkmon an A and Fluffymon a B

Pteromon is a great mascot Digimon. It's got that classic mascot look while also looking distinct from all the Agumon expys we tend to get. Archaeopteryx is a great inspiration and we finally get a theropod dinosaur Digimon with feathers, like the real raptors had. A-tier. I'm not as fond of Galemon (B-tier), but GrandGalemon is great. It's a great fusion of the bird/raptor elements and humanoid warrior elements. The armor and weapon look cool and it being one of the vortex warriors (which, as far as I know, were previously only ever mentioned in MedievalGallantmon's reference book entry) is a cool call-back and it even has an indirect connection to Witchelny. An Excellent Digimon deserving an A. Sadly, I can't say the same for Zephagamon. I can't fully explain why I don't really like it. Maybe it's the skinnier design that drops a lot of the bird elements, or its weapons not being as cool as Zephagamon's mace (swords are overdone), or just being tired of Digimon becoming armored humanoid warriors in their final stages, but I can't help but be a bit dissappointed by Zephagamon. The name is also not my favorite. Maybe they went with that to avoid dub name confusion with Zephyrmon/Shutumon. It's gonna be a C-tier.

Debuting alongside Pteromon's line is Shoemon's line. Shoemon is an amazingly adorable Digimon. A patchwork mouse plushy living in a shoe is a cute and very Digimon concept. I love how it uses a sewing needle as a weapon, too. A-tier. Too bad Shoeshoemon isn't as good. A roller-skating plush squirrel should be a fantastic Digimon, but I just don't like the way it looks. It honestly give me Sonic the Hedgehog vibes and I don't care for StH. The name is also really clunky, especially when Skatemon was right there. That being said, it would have been hilarious if each of Shoemon's evolutions just added an extra shoe to the name until we ended up with Shoeshoeshoeshoemon. C-tier.

While I don't care for Shoeshoemon, Chaperomon is another story. A violent little red riding hood doll with a knife, molotov cocktail, and basket-mounted minigun that hunts big bad wolves and turns them into shoes is not only an amazing concept, it is peak Digimon. It may be early in the list, but Chaperomon is my S-tier. Not only is this my favorite Digimon of the year, it is one of my favorite Digimon of all time. Cendrillmon is ok. I do like the design in a vacuum, but I don't really like it as a final form for Shoemon. It loses the patchwork plushy and doll appearance that I like so much and it doesn't really have shoes anymore. I do like the simple yet elegant design and the army of doll familiars. I think if Cendrillmon was introduced as an evolution for a different Digimon, I would like it a lot better. B-tier.

From the web novel side of things comes the new Impmon evolutions: Punkmon, Loudmon, and HeavyMetaldramon. Punk rock variants of the Guilmon line were not something I knew I needed in my life all. They're also a callback to the early planning stage of Digimon Tamers, where Impmon was planned to be the main partner Digimon. I also appreciate the final form being based on Megidramon instead of Gallantmon. Too many Digimon lines end up humanoid at the end. And wings made of electric guitars? Chef's kiss. A for all of them.

Last year, the D-Brigade got an upgrade after years of just being one evolution line, and this year the Royal Base got the same treatment. It was a good choice, too, as cyborg bees is a fantastic concept. ForgeBeemon the construction worker is a great interpretation of worker bees and Vespamon is a much-needed pre-evo to TigerVespamon. It's weird how many times we've gotten an XYmon years before getting a Ymon. Those both get A. QueenBeemon I'm not as fond of. She loses the cyborg elements and just becomes a woman in a bee costume. It's also weird that like half of her reference book entry is dunking on her like she was one of the bad evolution Digimon. The weaponized throne is a cool idea, but I can't give QueenBeemon higher than a B, which I suppose is appropriate.

PolarBearmon and Skadimon are really fun. I like them as a reminder that not all high-level Digimon have to be ferocious monsters, armored warriors, or women in their underwear. Some of them can be cute and friendly. For Frontier fans, am I wrong in thinking that PolarBearmon with its snowball artillery and being a bear looks way more like a proper unified spirit of ice than Daipenmon? Skadimon actually being a mech suit piloted by what looks like a YukimiBotamon is a fantastic design concept. A for both.

Dinomon kicks absolute ass. Dinosaurs are cool, fire is cool, so a dinosaur on fire is extra cool. This thing is the closest we have to a Digimon Godzilla and I love Godzilla. Plus a new mega for Tyrannomon that isn't DinoRexmon or RustTyrannomon is much appreciated. RustTyrannomon leans a bit evil for a heroic Tyrannomon and DinoRexmon looks too silly for my tastes with that giant claw. A-tier.

Elizamon is too cute not to love. A hot pink frilled lizard in a bowtie is adorable, and its contrast with the edgelord Owen Dreadnought is fantastic. Dimetromon is also really cool, being based on one of my favorite Permian animals, but I feel like it loses some of the frilly feminine traits that Elizamon has and the evolutions will have according to the shadowed shots we've seen of them in Liberator. I give Elizamon an A and Dimetromon a B.

MarineBullmon and Ryugumonbeing nudibranchs makes the marine biologist in me happy. I love nudibranchs and more people being exposed to these spectacular sea slugs is a great thing. Of the two, I definitely prefer Ryugumon more. It's elegant design and referencing Japanese mythology is inspired. I'm going to give MarineBullmon a B and Ryugumon an A.

Espimon has needed a full evolution line for a while. It was always weird that it never got an evolution based level 4 given that it technically is a main protagonist partner in Ghost Game. Oblivimon is a fantastic evolution, doubling down on the spaceship design of HoverEspimon and working in UFO stories with how it abducts Digimon to examine them before releasing them with memories modified. The Kuramon drones are also adorable. A-tier. Sadly, after the highs of Oblivimon, it all comes crashing down with Invisimon. Why, why, why did this line of UFO-themed Digimon have to end with a superhero? I am so tired of Digimon lines ending up as humanoids when the rest of the line isn't, and it's especially bad here. Invisimon sticks out like a sore thumb against the amorphous, spaceship-based, stealth and non-combat elements of the rest of the line. The stealth plane thing is neat at least. I get that Invisimon works with the Liberator Espimon's partner being superhero coded, but it fails as an evolution in any other context. If Invisimon wasn't supposed to be the final form of Espimon, it might be a C or B, but as is, this thing is my D-tier.

As for the new Sunarizamon evolutions, I'll admit that I initially didn't like Landramon, but it's grown on me. I really wanted Landramon to be the land counterpart to Airdramon and Seadramon as a serpentine dragon instead of the silly pile of sand. Once I got over that, I came to enjoy the silliness of Landramon and it is a very fitting Sunarizamon evolution. I'll give it a B. Proganomon is not my favorite and it's another case like Invisimon where I'd probably like it more if it was part of a different evolution line. It's just so out of place in the Sunarizamon line having no sand elements and using technology. I think it would work much better as a Tortomon evolution and a pre-evo to ElDoradimon or even JumboGamemon. I think I'll give it a C. I don't hate it, but I'm not all that impressed either. Pyramidimon, on the other hand, is amazing. It looks like a badass Yu-Gi-Oh monster from when the franchise was still themed around ancient Egypt. I can see it being a great fit with other Egyptian Digimon like Pharaohmon and Anubimon. Pyramidimon almost dethroned Chaperomon's place as my S-tier, putting it as an easy A.

The other big source of new Digimon this year was New Century and it's a crime that game hasn't been released outside of China yet. I covered Takutomon last year and wasn't impressed. I found it visually uninteresting and the armored human is an overused design. Takutomon Wrath Mode has a more interesting design, but I'm still not that interested in it. I think that humanoid armored warrior Digimon have to do something really interesting to stand out from the her and this one just doesn't. He also loses his little Appmon pet. Maybe that's why he's so angry. I'm also surprised that the reference book art is somehow better than the New Century art, which is angled so that most of its body is covered by its leg. C.

If a humanoid armored warrior Digimon has to do something interesting to stand out, Erlangmon does that well. The idea of the warrior fighting alongside a flying wolf head is very unique and fun. Plus, spears are underused as weapons, so it's nice to see one here. Erlangmon is also a shapeshifter, which could be a lot of fun to work with in stories. I have a fanfic in mind that I might use Erlangmon in. I give it an A. Unfortunately, while Erlangmon soars, Erlangmon Blast Mode crashes and burns. Turning the wolf head into a part of the armor loses that cool factor and makes it look so much more generic. Down to C with you.

Nezhamon is also fun. There's a lot of references to the original myth, like turning the wind fire wheel into tires on the ankles and having Nezhamon look young. The merging of the mythology with modern machienery makes for a very Digimon design. Plus, he has a spear and I'm a sucker for weapons where one part floats instead of being attached. I'll go A.

The last New Century Digimon is Jougamon and I like how this one is based on the same moon rabbit origins of Dianamon while still having a totally unique look. The gold coloration looks nice and I love the giant crescent moon blade and dancing fighting style. I'll put it as a strong B.

Our last new entry for the year is Cernumon. Well technically Callismon was added to the reference book this year, but that's not a new Digimon, it's an escapee from V-Tamer jail. Cernumon is such a creative design. A musical instrument, foresty deer god is both very fun and very Digimon. Cernumon comes from the horned Celtic god Cernunnos. Digimon had the opportunity to just make Cernumon a deer man and I'm very grad they decided to get more creative. A-tier.

Here's the final tier list. It's heavily weighted toward the A-tier, which is a good thing. I'm glad that the majority of new Digimon are so cool and likable.

S: Chaperomon

A: Yolkmon, GrandGalemon, Shoemon, Punkmon, Loudmon, HeavyMetaldramon, ForgeBeemon, Vespamon, PolarBearmon, Skadimon, Dinomon, Elizamon, Ryugumon, Oblivimon, Pyramidimon, Erlangmon, Nezhamon, Cernumon

B: Fluffymon, Galemon, Cendrillmon, QueenBeemon, Dimetromon, MarineBullmon, Landramon, Jougamon.

C: Zephagamon, Shoeshoemon, Proganomon, Takutomon Wrath Mode, Erlangmon Blast Mode.

D: Invisimon

A purple Shoutmon to fit into the new Impmon evolution line! Because let's be honest, it's perfect.

Okay so I was mildly obsessing over the Punkmon line and how cool it is when I realized it would fit perfectly with Gumdramon too. And then I drew this for some reason even though it would have just been easier to make a diagram with the reference book art or something but oh well.

I’m going to rant a little below the cut, just a warning.

OKAY.

So yeah, even though it doesn’t really need explaining I’ll show my findings for why the Punkmon line fits so perfectly as an evolution for Gumdramon too. This line is rocking so hard it could potentially be used to resolve two of my incomplete line OCDs which is crazy.

So getting the obvious out of the way, they’re both purple dragons. They have a lot of visual similarities. And they both use their tails to fight in some way, Gumdramon’s hammer, Punkmon’s pick, etc. And I think they both have fire based attacks so their elemental association lines up too.

Then theres the reference book entries. They’re both lil show offs! They want to look cool when they fight and pull a crowd, it’s so cute!

It also says Gumdramon is mischievous too! A mischievous little guy becoming a hardcore heavy metal anarchist is so good thematicly!

And if you wanted to, their designs are similar enough you could insert Arresterdramon/ Arresterdramon Superior Mode as the Adult/Champion or the Ultimate/Perfect if you like them better.

I was always sad that Gumdramon didn’t get a full line and just got a bunch of mode changes after Arresterdramon and the Punkmon line could solve it so well! (I know Xros Wars/Boy Hunters wasn’t really about evolution but it still bugs me. Like Boy Hunters was way less about Xrosing than main Xros Wars so they really should have just gave Gumdramon a full line, but oh well)

But yeah! I really hope they use this line in the future in some way, it would make me so happy. Even just being able to evolve Gumdramon down the Punkmon line in one of the games would be cool.

Also I didn’t look around to see if anyone else had already said this before so if I’m like the millionth person to point this out, I’m sorry!

Thank you for reading my little rant!

When I opened commissions I mentioned I could write for Digimon, but I have never made any Digimon-related posts. It's time to change that 👀

A few weeks back, they revealed a new evolutionary line for Impmon. Its design is clearly inspired both by Guilmon's evos and punk music. Today we learned these mons' names: Punkmon, Loudmon, and Heavymetaldramon.

There's something that makes this really amusing to me. I have a Digimon OC who belongs to an ambitious OC centric Digimon fanfiction I never really began working on (besides a backstory piece for one of the characters). Her name is Ayane Eguchi, her partner Digimon is Impmon, and...she wants to become a guitarist.

It almost feels like this new evo line was made for her. However, I'm not ashamed to admit that the reason she gets the classic evo line is that I want her having to deal with crushing on Baalmon (and later Beelzemon). Here's an old Twitter thread with a few more details on that topic, as well as more trivia on Ayane herself.

That being said, I'd really like for her Impmon to at least have access to Heavymetaldramon. I could make it so it's a dark evolution that happens once or twice in a dire situation, or simply an alternate evo her Impmon is capable of depending on the situation, much like with Gammamon and his different Champion forms.

I have no idea how or if I'll go back to that Digimon fanfiction I have mentioned. Its main problem is that there are too many characters that would be part of the story, but I'm really fond of some of the concepts I came up with and I don't want to get rid of them. I'll have to see what I'll do.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Getting back to business!

During this week, I've been working with Tyutyumon on helping Andromon and MegaloGrowmon evolve, since Tyutyumon has a lot more means and knowledge than me on the field of upgrading mechanical Digimon.

Recently, some digimon have been discovered through an investigation some hackers have been pulling up since 2020, this investigation has given us some new information before, like the existence of an X-Antibody variant of the Virus-Type Greymon, however, this time, this investigation reached a server of the Digital World dubbed LACUNA, a it's unknown when or why this place was created, but inside it, new species like the the Pteromon and Shoemon lines, digimon that I've encountered before but didn't know where technically imported from this LACUNA place. What does this have to do with my digimon you ask? Well, a new digimon line has been found, related to Impmon and Guilmon, it's some kind of adaptation of the Guilmon line that has been affected by the data of punk-rock culture, one of this digimon is a Perfect level called Loudmon, that reminisces MegaloGrowmon, and Tyutyumon and I have speculated that if MegaloGrowmon can slide evolve between the two perfect stages it could help him evolve into Ultimate faster! Kinda like what Helloogarmon did, sliding from said digimon to Soloogarmon when the situation required it, tho due to the similarities between MegaloGrowmon and Loudmon I think this hypothetical slide evolution could be more of a power diversification than an actual field advantage, like the first two.

On Andromon's side his evolutionary path has already been decided by Tyutyumon, HiAndromon is the best option to evolve into, since it is a more advanced and powerful version of the Andromon we all know.

Regarding my less mechanical digimon, they've been training in case something happens with the army, they've been awfully quiet lately and I speculate that it may be due to a plan they could be arranging, the other four people I know that breed digimon could help get me some information, specifically Bit, who I recently discovered, lives near her city's equivalent to The Fourth Brigade, the place that leads the military in my city.

I won't ask her to charge at them for no reason, since her digimon aren't used to fighting, but any help she can provide is more than useful. In the meantime, I'll start helping Canoweissmon with his training, he's been giving everything he has to become stronger along with Rasenmon and the rest! I'll help them once I'm done running the last tests Tyutyumon and I have to do on MegaloGrowmon to see if he can start slide evolving, which we'll do tomorrow in the morning!

Lastly I've also got some personal news.

I got into college! I was accepted a few days ago and tomorrow I'll do all the legal stuff I have to do to have my info in order before I enter, I'll do everything after I'm done with MegaloGrowmon's tests. I'll start classes in August, but fear not, my schedule for doing digimon related stuff will still suck, so the blog will probably be unaffected by this, it'll even get better I'd say since there's a chance more Tamers wander around my campus! So I'll maybe get some more people to run these errands with!, but only time will tell!

And even once I'm done with college, I'll keep you updated!

ATT: ARC

[aviculor]

Impmon's new evos have been formally introduced

Punkmon, an aggressive rebel without a cause who loves fighting dramatically in front of an audience to get pumped up. Its signature attacks are Anarchist Flame and Blitzkrieg Bop.

Loudmon, whose armor is an electronic sound system complete with a mic sticking out of its chest. It sees putting on a good show as more important than winning or losing. Its attacks are Metallica Edge and Deep Purple Blaster.

HeavyMetaldramon, a name which makes me wish Loudmon was called Metaldramon. It sees battle as a performance and it constantly seeks worthy opponents, but everyone is able to avoid it since its electric guitar wings are so noisy. Its attacks are called Black Sabbath and Blue Murder Flame.

[red-rose-corner]

Just some thoughts for my Mario + Rabbids and Digimon crossover.

The Impmon partnered with Bowser Jr. began with this Digivolution line: Impmon->Wizardmon->Myotismon->Beelzemon. Due to befriending and protecting the mischievous prince of the Koopas, he was deemed a traitor and was punished by being forced to fuse with a Piedmon into Boltboutamon.

Mario and company save him from this forced fusion, and he reverts to a Digi-Egg. That egg hatches into Impmon and being reborn lets him take on a new line.

His line when partnered with Bowser Jr. follows the "Liberator" line. Meaning Impmon->Punkmon->Loudmon->HeavyMetaldramon.
