Digimon Story: Time Stranger full Digimon roster explained

Digimon Story: Time Stranger packs the largest roster the Story series has ever shipped with, covering every generation from In-Training I up through Mega+. The Field Guide tracks 475 entries in total once the day-one pre-order creatures and the three Additional Digimon and Episode packs are counted in.

📖

Quick answer: The Field Guide has 475 Digimon across eight generations, including 20 In-Training forms, 60 Rookies, 98 Champions, 112 Ultimates, 125 Megas, and 36 Mega+ entries, with Armor and Hybrid forms filling out the rest.

Roster size by generation

The Field Guide is organized by generation rather than by series of origin, so evolution lines span multiple sections. Mega+ is the new top tier, and houses fused forms like Omnimon, Chaosmon, and the Bond of Bravery/Friendship partners.

Baby and Rookie tiers

Every partner line starts in one of the In-Training slots. Kuramon and Tsumemon sit apart from the others because they carry the Unidentified type, which ties into the Diaboromon and Armageddemon evolution branches rather than the standard Agumon or Gabumon trees.

The Rookie pool is where most players will spend the early hours. It covers the classic eight partners from Adventure, the Tamers crew, Data Squad rookies, Fusion's Shoutmon, and newer faces like Huckmon and Aegiomon. Keramon is the lone Unknown-attribute Rookie and feeds into the Kurisarimon and Infermon line.

Champion and Ultimate lineup

Champion is the largest mid-tier bucket with 100 entries once the Garurumon (Black), Greymon (Blue), and Coredramon variants are counted. It also holds the five-form Aegiochusmon branch at Ultimate, which is central to the main story's Olympos XII arc.

Ultimate introduces most of the iconic "perfect" forms fans expect, from MegaKabuterimon and Angewomon to the full Royal Knight precursors like WarGrowlmon and SaviorHuckmon. Infermon is the only Unknown-attribute Ultimate and leads toward Diaboromon.

Mega and Mega+ tiers

Mega covers the bulk of the endgame, including the Seven Great Demon Lords (Lucemon CM through Belphemon SM), the Olympos XII deities, and the Royal Knights. Mega+ is reserved for fusions and bond forms that require specific pairings or story triggers.

A few Mega+ entries are Jogress-only, meaning they need two specific Mega parents rather than a standard digivolution. Omnimon, Chaosmon, Susanomon, and Examon all fall into this category.

Armor and Hybrid forms

Armor digivolution is tied to specific Digi-Egg items crafted at the Factory Area, and the nine Armor forms are split between early-game mobility picks and late-game fusion material. Magnamon and Rapidmon (Armor) sit at the top of this category as Holy Knight-type Armors.

Hybrid Digimon represent the Frontier cast. The base roster has full Agunimon and Lobomon lines that evolve through BurningGreymon/KendoGarurumon into Aldamon/Beowolfmon and finally EmperorGreymon/MagnaGarurumon. Lanamon, Calmaramon, and MagnaGarurumon (Detached) round out the set as variable-attribute Hybrids.

Ridable Digimon

130 Digimon can be used as mounts via the DigiRide system. Ridable status starts at Champion and scales up through Mega+, with larger beast and machine types dominating the list. MegaGargomon, GroundLocomon, and Imperialdramon DM handle long-range traversal, while smaller mounts like Ginryumon and Leomon are better suited to mid-game exploration.

A handful of Mega+ fusions are ridable too, including Omnimon, Alphamon: Ouryuken, and Chaosmon. Armor Digimon like Magnamon and Nefertimon also count as mounts.

DNA and Jogress fusions

Jogress combinations produce 17 unique Digimon that cannot be obtained through normal digivolution. The Adventure 02 pairings (Shakkoumon, Silphymon, Dinobeemon, Paildramon) appear at Ultimate, while the rest sit at Mega or Mega+.

Mastemon, Millenniummon, and GraceNovamon are the only non-Knight, non-fusion-themed Jogress results in the top tiers. Omnimon Alter-S is the lone Virus-attribute Mega+ Jogress entry.

Day-one DLC and expansion content

Eight pre-order Digimon make up a self-contained black-and-blue evolution pair running from Rookie to Mega. The three Additional Digimon and Episode packs each add five more creatures along with new story content.

What's missing from the base game

Several recognizable lines from Cyber Sleuth did not carry over. The Arkadimon evolution chain, the NX Royal Knight variants (Omnimon NX, Crusadermon NX, Gallantmon NX, Alphamon NX, Duftmon NX), Hudiemon, and both Sistermon Blanc and Noir lines are absent. Most newer anime partners from Ghost Game and Liberator are also not represented.

The Bond of Bravery and Bond of Friendship forms for Agumon and Gabumon act as the "newest" anime representatives, pulling in the Last Evolution Kizuna designs instead of Gammamon, Jellymon, or Angoramon.

🗂️

Tip: The in-game Field Guide is filterable by generation, attribute, and type, which makes tracking down evolution prerequisites much faster than scrolling the full 475-entry list.

With 475 slots to fill, the Living Dex goal rewards patient collectors. Plan your digivolutions around the attribute affinities in each area, keep a deep bench at the DigiFarm, and save your Jogress pairings for the Mega+ forms that cannot be reached any other way.
