The further into the main story they get, the more options players will have inDigimon Survive. By the time they reach Part 4, they’ll have access to a wide range of Digimon, one of whom is the Vaccine type Digimon, Gatomon. Granted, it may not seem like much when compared to otherChampion Digimon like Meramon, but discounting Gatomon based on looks alone would be a huge mistake for anyone hoping to build a balanced team.

Despite its wholesome design, Gatomon is a solid all-rounder with decent stats and a powerful Digivolution path ahead of it. That’s not to say that there aren’t better Vaccine type Digimon inDigimon Survive, but given how time-consuming it can be to cycle between enemies in Free Battle areas, players would be foolish not to at least attempt to befriend Gatomon if given the chance.
How to Befriend Gatomon in Digimon Survive
Gatomon usesthe same questions and statements as Gotsumonand the process for befriending the cute little critter remains more or less the same. Players will need to talk to Gatomon and then respond to three of its questions and statements, with their choices having an impact on the bar above the Digimon’s head. If three or more segments of the bar are full by the time the conversation ends, players will have the opportunity toask the Digimon to become friends.
Like most humans, Gatomon just wants somebody to love it and will respond well to signs of affection as a result. When compared with some of its peers, it seems to be a genuinely nice Digimon, and this is something that players will want to take into account when responding to its questions and statements. For those who’d rather remove the guesswork entirely though, the best responses to Gatomon’s questions and statements can be found in the table below.

Where to Find Gatomon in Digimon Survive
The first time that players will be able to encounter and befriend Gatomon is during Part 4. It shows up occasionally at the “Free Bat.” area at the amusement park, as too do otherpowerful Champion Digimon like Birdramonand Diatrymon. It’s arguably the weakest of the new Digimon found at this location, but is still worth picking up, if not for its powerful late-game Digivolutions then for its ridiculously adorable design.
Digimon Surviveis available on PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
