Extra info from various sources such as the manual:

  • You can get more capsules from the challenge missions list by unlocking new Dims
  • You can register more than 1 VB to the app, and Dims are locked to the first VB inserted
  • NFC battles are random, you can use the same NFC point repeatedly
  • We have confirmation that the Dim cards still work even if you reset your VB!
  • Long press the confirmation button for “Cancel” (works for cancelling evolution too)
  • Vital, Mental, Win Rate, Trophy, Injury are all reset upon evolution
  • If you already have 2 Digimons on your bracelet, and plug a new Dim card in, it will prompt to ask if you wanna delete the current active Digimon (the same Dim card can be used if you want more than 1 of the same Digimon)
  • Charging from a regular USB recommended, do not use e.g. Fast Chargers

18 of 39

  • Mental state gives x2.0/x1.0/x0.5 multiplier to your Vital points during battle�Mental states: Pleasant (has a sun) / Normal / Unpleasant (has a cloud)
  • During battle, each Digimon will definitely take an equal number of turns (even if one of which is at 0 HP)
  • You can register more than 1 VB with 1 App, but you cannot register more than 1 App to 1 VB
  • While the bracelet has no basic waterproofing at all, a bit of perspiration from exercising is fine. �Do remove it when you are going to e.g. wash your hands, however.
  • 3 types of waking hours schedule depending on the Digimon, namely 8AM-8PM, 9AM-9PM, and 10AM-10PM �(Check the Digimon’s preference in their profile on your DigiDex: Active/Stoic/Lazy)�Vital points will not be affected if you remove it from your wrist while they’re asleep, so use this time to charge the bracelet. (i.e. no activity info will be recorded while your Digimon slumbers)�While the pedometer will be reset when you switch the bracelet off, your digimon’s growth will not be reset.�(Do switch it off if you see yourself not being active for a long while.)
  • Ways that your Digimon can die�1. 3 consecutive losses while injured�2. 24 consecutive hours without any recording of your heart rate�3. Activity level 2 or higher for an hour or longer while it is injured�Note: your Digimon’s growth data will not be recorded in the App’s DigiDex if it dies before syncing, �as all data will be lost when it returns to becoming a Digitama
  • Digimon in Backup during Jogress will not be “consumed”, only the Active Digimon evolves.�You can cancel Jogress evolution, similar to regular evolution.
  • Hold your phone to your bracelet longer when transferring, NFC is slow.

JOGRESS!!!

Back when it was first revealed, everyone was confused about what it actually meant for VB.

With the current info we have at hand, here’s what it (probably) means.

What we know: (Specific and Non-Specific Jogress)�- Active Wargreymon + Backup Metalgarurumon + 1~3 hours = Omegamon�- Active Champion/Perfect stage + Active same stage with different type + time (usual hours) = an evolution outside of the current branch (see below for example)��E.g. Vaccine Champion + Data/Virus Champion = out of branch Perfect

Note: you need them to be Active Digimon and Backup Digimon on VB to work
